Paco visited Disneyland when he was in Los Angeles. This is a park, created in 1955 by Walt Disney, and located in Anaheim (California), not far from L.A. The story of how this man started this idea is quite interesting.

Walter Elias Disney used to take his daughters to a park. One day he thought that it was a pity that parents had to wait while only their children were having fun. Some people had also asked him to open his animation studios to the public, so that they could see where Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck, for example, had been created. With these thoughts, he started to conceive the idea of a fun park, different from the ones he knew, a park where the whole family could enjoy together. Little by little, he planned a theme park with different areas, many rides, and live entertainment throughout the park all day.

Nowadays it is still very popular with thousands of people visiting it every year. Sonia told Paco not to miss Disneyland and so he did. She also asked him to send her a picture of Mickey Mouse! Although Paco and Sonia are not children any more, this place is magic, and everyone enjoys it whether old or young.
