Today, we’re taking you to the front entrance of The Happiest Place on Earth. We set up shop in the esplanade looking toward the beloved Disneyland Railroad as guests enter the turnstiles into the park. This is a treat for the Disney fans missing the simple things in life. In the video, you can hear the faint beeping of the turnstiles admitting people in, listen to the background loop of the esplanade, watch the occasional Monorail go by, and of course, see people’s beaming faces as they approach Disneyland. Ready for your 10 minutes of theme park zen? 3, 2, 1, relax . . . 

It’s hard to believe, but Disneyland has been closed for almost a month now. I’m really missing this bit of magic in my life. I know you are too. 


What is Ten Minutes of Magic?!

This daily video series is designed to put you into a moment in time at a specific tourist location. The camera is in a fixed location which opens up a window for you to view everything that happened during that 10 minutes.  We don’t talk over the video or move around. If you are looking for full attraction videos, that’s not what this particular series is all about. These videos are more akin to meditation.  

Relax, gather the family together, and enjoy your 10 minutes of zen!
