We can’t say we’re surprised.

Almost everyone has a bucket list of places to go and things to see. For a lot of people Disneyland will be top of their list.

So we weren’t all that surprised to hear that it is the tourist attraction that has been most uploaded to Instagram. In fact, there is currently a staggering 12 million posts about this one resort on the media sharing site, according to a recent study.

In fairness, it’s pretty magical.
