The Happiest Places on Earth
by CHAN LEE PENG on 14/06/09 at 5:57 am
Here are some extraordinary places that accommodate joy and inspiration in the world. Just forget about your worries, agonies and troubles, let the yesterday, tomorrow, future and fantasy inspirations in these happiest places fill you with fond and sweet memories.
Hi, I’m M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E. Just call me Mickey, OK? First of all, welcome to Disneyland Park- the happiest land on earth. Today, I’ll become your tourist guide. Get yourself ready and let’s start our tour now. I hope you enjoy the trip! Here we go…
Disneyland was the first Disney theme park owned by the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts division of The Walt Disney Company, and it was opened on July 17, 1955. Disneyland was the idea of Walt E. Disney, an artist who created the cartoon character of Mickey Mouse. He wanted to establish a park, in which the families could have fun, and there his dream fulfilled when the first Disneyland was built in Anaheim, California in 1955. He hoped to bring Disneyland as a source of joy and inspiration to the entire world. Indeed, Disneyland has become a huge hit for both adults and children!
There is also a plaque at the entrance of Disneyland stated that “Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy.”
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Sleeping Beauty Castle is a building situated in the center of Disneyland Park and Hong Kong Disneyland Park. It’s the oldest and best known building of all Disney castles, with several dioramas depicting the famous fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland reaches a height of 23.5m and its pink castle is surrounded by a moat where swans swim. To enter, please follow me to walk across a drawbridge.

A wonderful article full of memories of when my boys were small and wanted to visit places like these. My younger son has visited several of them and likes the Tokyo one the best. Well done.

I thought the happiest places on earth were the places where lithium was found in the water supply (just kidding) seriously tho, they have the lowest suicide rates. Very well written and informative article Chan Lee. I know you always put a lot of time and effort into these. I enjoyed reading=)

This was amazing, Chan. I enjoyed the tour. I remember always wanting to go there when I was a kid. I never got the chance to go. I would still hope to go one day. If I do not get the chance to go, I will always have this article to remind me of how great it is.

hahahaha I remember my toddler debating his dad on what channel to watch on cable because her dad would like to see the NBA finals while she would want the “KI-MOUSE” referring to Mickey mouse Disney channel.
Great post.
