The Disneyland Dilettante 100th Post Special

I wanted to make this something spectacular. It's been nearly two years since I began this blog, and I've managed a post a week the entire time, plus one or two extras. I hoped to find some major source of inspiration and give my readers an early-early Christmas gift of something astounding.
Then...Tuesday happened.
It was the most severe gutpunch I have experienced in my life, and it killed most of my desire to write. I spent most of Wednesday in something like a sick daze. I'm getting better as I process it, but it's so rough. I thought so much better of my countryfolk than this. I honestly don't know how I'm going to get through the next four years (or however long it takes to impeach his orange ass and discredit his entire administration). But I will try to continue my posting rate. I have posts brewing from before this catastrophe, and hopefully my psyche is resilient enough to recover and keep providing content (in addition to all the real-world activism I will most assuredly be doing).
Because we still have Disneyland. We still have that. I'm going to need it dearly in the near future, to escape the horror of reality once in a while. That's what it's there for, isn't it? To be a better place than the world we live in?
So I offer you this for Disneyland Dilettante Post #100: 100 Disneyland Delights. Little bits of joy a day at the park can provide, even in these scary times.
