Why Visit Every Disney Park in the World?

This writer got to do what I have longed to do - visit every Disney theme park in the world. So I'm utterly jealous.

Still, her wonderful piece is fun to read, especially her description of all the Disney theme parks:

Think of the properties as an extended family.

Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif. is the great aunt, a grande dame who has seen the world and has the wrinkles to prove it, but her pearls are still polished.

Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. is the big brother, the star athlete who gets all the attention but is still humble enough to hang out with his nerdy little brother.

Disneyland Paris Resort is the slightly odd cousin - the one everyone tries to avoid at family gatherings but who is actually pretty nice once you get to know him.

The Tokyo Disney Resort parks are the uber-hip twins - those third cousins, twice removed, that you only get to see at weddings and funerals. They're fun and bubbly and intimidatingly cool.

Hong Kong Disneyland is the awkward tween nephew, who wants nothing more than to be just like his older and cooler relatives. He'll get there, but for now he's a bit gangly.


Top on my list is definitely Tokyo. So, one of these days..... Konichiwa!
