Is Disneyland Really "The Happiest Place on Earth"?

Disneyland was the most fun I've had in awhile. Our family had more fun than 99% of the people visting the two parks. We ran around like goofballs, sang songs from every Disney animated feature created, and danced to the ambient music of California Adventure. You'd think it was embarassing, but it was really cool (actually, it was more embarassing for those in our group who didn't participate). However, when we looked around at others, not that many people had smiles on their faces. Except for a few brief moments on the rides, many of the people didn't laugh or smile. Is Disneyland truly the happiest place on earth?

So many people live life waiting for something big to happen. It's like they're in a state of suspended emotional animation, where there bodies function but their hearts are on 'Pause'. For a few seconds of a scary rollercoaster drop or an unexpected turn, they press 'Play' and allow themselves to enjoy the moment. Then the moment ends and they hit 'Pause' again. Living like that is no fun.

"The Happiest Place on Earth" wasn't that happy. I don't think it was because the rides were boring, there was too much of a crowd, or souveneirs and food were expensive. I think it was because most people are afraid to really live. We had fun because we love each other and we are accepted by each other no matter how stupid we act. We have that bond because of our family's love. May the world know the kind of love we have.

I LOVE MY FAMILY! I LOVE JESUS! GO IRISH BLING BLING!
