After 20+ years, I visited the Magic Kingdom AKA Disneyland with an out of town friend. Even though a lot of things have changed here (where’s Fort Wilderness?), much of the charm is still there.<\/p>\n

As far back as I can remember, people have always complained about the high price of food and beverage at Disneyland.\u00a0 The stalls scattered all around the park are pricey but the sit down restaurants are strangely reasonable, considering what you get.<\/p>\n

And naturally, the day ends at Disneyland with fireworks.<\/p>\n

I realized during this trip that my interest in transportation began with a visit to Disneyland when I was very young. A LOT of the rides and attractions here revolve around transportation.<\/p>\n

Space Mountain
\nAutopia
\nMatterhorn
\nBig Thunder Railroad
\nMonorail<\/p>\n

All are things that society needs to get around (or will get soon). That explains my facination with transportation maybe??\u00a0 Some things here are more recent necessities…<\/p>\n
