At this point, I don't vacation at Disneyland - I vacation toward it. Every year, like clockwork, my family and I make our pilgrimage to the happiest place on Earth, and every time we leave, I start plotting ways to just… stay. Forever. I'm not joking. If they offered annual passes that included a mortgage and utility bills, I'd be the first to sign.
It's not just the rides (though I could give a TED Talk on the optimal seating position for Star Tours) or the ridiculously themed hotels (seriously, why is everything so perfectly designed?). It's the whole vibe. The energy. The immersive weirdness that makes you forget about real-life stress and suddenly care deeply about whether Space Mountain is running that day.
Also, can we talk about Chez Remy in Disneyland Paris? I didn't expect a theme park restaurant to make me emotional, but that tiny rat-themed bistro might be one of the best dining experiences of my life. No notes.
Until they build a residential zone next to Sleeping Beauty's castle and let me move in, these 30 Disney memes will have to do. They're magical, chaotic, nostalgic, and full of that pixie-dusted charm that keeps us coming back year after year.
