Home from the Magic Kingdom

The trip to Disneyland was way too short, just like every trip I take to Disneyland.

Going there, for me, is absolutely an escape. It's a meticulously designed and beautifully crafted fantasy world that glosses over or ignore any negativity or ugliness from the real world. I'm aware of the costs - both for visitors and the hard and not-as-well-paid-as-it-should-be work every one of the park and hotel employees perform - but that particular escapist fantasy world is one that has deeply-planted hooks in the parts of my brain where the senses of wonder and whimsy are.

So anyway, some photos! ( Kingdom of the Mouse! )
