About

My name is Julianna Evans, and I am a Junior at Oregon State University. I grew up in Southern California about 45 mins away from Anaheim, home of Disneyland. For most of my life, I’ve had an annual pass and it has given me the opportunity to visit Disneyland hundreds of times in my life. I’ve had the chance to go backstage for numerous band performances, and I know the place like I lived there my whole life. This summer, I have been taking a class on the anthropology of tourism, and I chose Disneyland as the topic for my term paper. I hope that my personal insights can help to illustrate what I’ve learned from my research.
