About 15 minutes away from the University of California at Irvine, Disneyland in Los Angelos is considered the model for theme parks around the world.
Disneyland features 9 "lands" including the famed California Adventure Land, Mickey's Toon Town and Frontier Land.
Though the lines are long and the tickets relatively expensive, its worth it just to be enveloped in the magical world created by Disney.
Just because the lines are long doesn't mean the experience of waiting in the line can't be fun; iconic cartoon characters walk around and greet theme park tourists throughout the day, and there are refreshment stands and restaurants located throughout the park to ensure that no matter what, the kids won't be bored.
At nighttime, the Disney parade is a beautiful spectacle of lights and familiar tunes that never fail to place a smile on everyone's face.
