Favorite American Vacation Destinations

Part 1
Leisure time has really changed over the past several decades. I believe that this is mainly due to electronics. The more electronics brought into homes equals less time utilizing the natural surroundings available to use to relax and have fun. Leisure time of the past was simple. Today's leisures seem to take more planning and cost more money. Many people don't want to stay close to home, so they seek leisure elsewhere. It seems that today people have a hard time being content with what they have, instead they know there is always something bigger and better to be done or had.

For the most part, Disneyland has stayed the same and is succinctly American. Of course, they have expanded, but one can always rely on Disneyland as a destination of happiness and fun. I could never imagine anyone leaving Disneyland with ill feelings. I love that I can go from everyday life to a world of fun and childlike fantasy within seconds of passing through the admission booth.
Mr. Disney describes it best: "To all who come to this happy place: -Welcome- Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past...and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America...with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all in the world."
