Disneyland and The Mustard Prince

I went to Disneyland and California Adventure with my wife. It was her first time there, and it has been fifteen years since I last visited. It truly is a magical place, and once we walked onto Main Street inside of Disneyland, we can really feel that this was pretty much its own world. Every attraction and performance were great, and it was a treat that so many attractions were interactive. I could not pilot a Star Wars ship to save my life, but I appreciate that so many rides really involve the park guests in some way.

We watched the fireworks show at night, and it truly was beautiful. They played movie clips on Sleeping Beauty Castle with some voice clips and fireworks at the same time. It was both a show and a performance. A lot of families were there with strollers everywhere, and while the adults can enjoy the park, it really is special for the kids. It is this reason that I am not fond of some of the more socio-political moves that the Disney corporation has made, as Disneyland itself is a wholesome, apolitical, family-friendly place. I would personally like it if it just stayed that way.

Nevertheless, it was all quite enjoyable. The thought of one of my works being animated did cross my mind, especially The Mustard Prince. I think that would be extremely satisfying, and I could only wonder how I would react to see my own characters come to life in that way.
