Even in the pandemic, the Disney magic is real. And sometimes I think it helps a bit of normalcy even with masks helps.Thanks for sharing this, it definitely helps to hear that others are being cautious as well! We masked in most places (I was double masked just because I had cute character masks that didn't fit + masks that did fit underneath) and I think that knowing that I was doing the best I could to protect myself helped. Fingers crossed I didn't bring home any unwanted souvenirs ... so far so good on rapid tests, but I'm definitely self-monitoring and will get a PCR if anything feels off.
Yeah, I definitely felt better once I was in the parks (also, side note, Galaxy's Edge was amazing!!!!), maybe not 100%, but definitely being in Disneyland makes me feel so much better than anywhere else.
In a pandemic twist of events, I have not been to Disneyland in over 2 years now and am not yet sure when I will return although I hope that will be sometime this summer especially if my 4 year old nephew has anything to say about it. In his world, his plush Mickey brought him love from Disneyland Mickey and that helped him make it through the restrictions. Not being able to attend church or even the playground and such was very difficult.The trip was amazing and felt like coming home. I didn't want to leave. I didn't buy nearly enough stuff. I want to go back. And that's all I'm gonna say (although I will try to remember to attach a picture or two to this post).
I'm glad you had a great time there with Beth. Disneyland has a charm to it that is simply different from Disney World, particularly its sister park the Magic Kingdom. Not better, not worse, just different. And I miss that charm. Well that and I miss being able to experience a castle and Galaxy's Edge within 5 minutes.
