Disney Magic

I enjoyed Disneyland as a kid. But I never truly understood Disney Magic until yesterday, when we took our 3½ year old daughter on her first trip to Disneyland. Her reactions to meeting Mickey Mouse (her primary goal, and clearly a transcendent experience), riding It’s a Small World, watching the parade and seeing Goofy (her secondary goal), riding the train and riverboat, etc. were priceless. And so not only did my wife and I not grumble at all about the ticket price, but we are also going to use Disney’s custom photobook system for this trip instead of Shutterfly. That’s the real Disney Magic: making parents happy to spend money!

Update (1/9/2008): The Disney photobook site does not appear to work.
