A Brief History of Disneyland
When most people hear the word Disney, they often think of Disneyland. Although Walt Disney has had some marvelous ideas, one of his best is Disneyland. More thought was put into the construction of Disneyland than was put into Mickey Mouse himself. All of the hard work surely paid off, as over fifty years later, Disneyland still stands strong, with several versions of the park placed across the globe. Disneyland is the home to millions of Disney fans around the world.

My First Time in Mexico
Mexico is one of my favorite places. The food, the people, and the overall culture captured my attention immediately....well, almost immediately. The first time I went to Mexico, I was nine years old. My family and I had gone for for Christmas and the New Years. Entering into a country where you did not know the language nor the people was a little frustrating, yet exciting at the same time. Now, my mom is from Mexico, so this was the first time I was meeting her side of the family. The only downfall was that I did not understand Spanish, so when my family members would talk to me, I would answer with “Sí” or “No” even if it was not a "yes" or "no" question. The first person I met was one of my mom's sisters, her husband, and kids. They all seemed nice, but like I said, I didn’t understand what they were saying, and they didn’t understand what I was saying.

How a City Stole My Heart and Never Gave it Back
Have you ever been somewhere and never wanted to leave? Was that a store? The beach? Or maybe it was the mountains? For me, it was a whole city. A city that I visited when I was in high school and then again when I was older. A place where I would love to settle down one day because I love it that much. This is a place where I could visit all the same attraction and still fall in love even more. Where is this you ask?

On the Road Again
Excitement, nerves, wonder, panic, exhilaration. These are all the emotions I was feeling and continue to feel as I packed my whole life into my vehicle in the center of the Historic Lockport NY, and began my journey back across the States to Oklahoma. Being able to cut the amount of things you own down to fit it all in one vehicle knowing that is all you have is a humbling moment. I realized while preparing for my trip how dependent on materialistic items I became. 25 years of collecting and saving things just for the sake of trying to hold onto a memory, had taken over my life. We are taught from a young age that the more you have the more important or valued you’ll be. However during this purge I realized without all these knick knacks, I still have the same memories and the same value on myself. In fact it felt incredibly uplifting to be able to donate everything that has been sitting in boxes to someone that can actually use it and appreciate it. I packed my trunk, put my cat in, and we hit the road at 11:00 am EST.

What Makes Disneyland Truly Magical Pt. 2
Hello everyone! Welcome to part two of my articles pertaining to true Disney Magic. In this section, I want to tell you about the "easy to miss" details Tomorrowland has to offer. Jumping right in—Tomorrowland is one of the coolest lands Disneyland has to offer. Storm Troopers roam the walkways, and spaceships whirl through the air! There is a lot to see and do in this part of the park, so you have to really focus your attention while you're there. This land is also one of the most crowded EVER so keep that in mind when you are looking for "magical details." Luckily for you, the first thing on my list you can see while you are in line for Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Pretty much all of the plant life in Tomorrowland is edible, and not the "weird herb" kind of edible. The planters are actually little gardens full of kale, jalapeños, tomatoes, carrots, and even a few orange trees. Kind of cool right? Sadly they don't use the vegetables that they grow (I asked). So I'm not saying pick some and get a free lunch but seriously "waste not," right?
