Even Going From The Car to the Gate Is A Ride:  

Sunday, May 11, 2008

I think that Disneyland has evolved into an all encompassing ride. For my proof you only have to look at the Tram back and forth between the front gates of Disneyland and the Mickey & Friends Tram. It is so exciting to clamber aboard the tram with the strollers and backpacks and what ever else you can possibly haul to Disneyland (i.e. the Happiest place on Earth). After an abbreviated pause for the tram conductor to tell the 1st time tourist to stay behind the yellow line so they don't get run over. You here over the loud speaker " We are now on route to the Disneyland Resort Entrance Plaza...". What a rush, in the old days the Tram we have today would have been a "E" ticket ride. That's a whole other blog. You fill the air rush through your hair (present blogger excluded) and everyone is talking about what to do first it's such a rush!

I think Walt really thought about transportation when he created Disneyland. He had street cars going up and down main street, the people mover, the monorail, Autotopia, etc. Walt was always worried about the comfort of the guest they even created a special concrete pavement that is easier on the feet than normal concrete. You may not think that at midnight when you're the second to last group out of the park and all you want to do is soak your feet for an hour. UGH! But Walt cared about us in the old day you would have to walk to your car from the front gate and that was the longest walk ever. You still have to walk some but I think the Imagineering team really wen tot great lengths to make us want to come back the next day even if our feet hurt. So to conclude from the time you get out of your car to the time you get back in it your on a ride so sit back relax and keep you hands, arms and legs inside the vehicle at all time.
