I just got back from the best place on Earth - Disneyland. Turns out the best place on Earth is the worst place on Earth. Buying a ticket is terrible because of the price. Taking a family of four is way too expensive. However, once you are inside, it just gets worse. The lines for each ride are really long, and then rides only last 2-3 minutes. Don’t even get me started on lunch. How about paying $10.00 for a hot dog and $5.50 for a bottle of water. When planning a vacation, trust me, stay away from Disneyland.

Only a deer!
