I concur.
Disneyland is Nostagia defined - a place where you can revisit your childhood, the childhood you never had, and the thousand happy childhoods that you only dreamed of.
Best of all, Disneyland is all things to all people. No two people see it exactly the same way, possibly because we are all seeing our better selves reflected in it.
