According to research conducted by TravelBird, Disneyland in California has some 14.6 million tags on the photo-sharing app with people posting their pics in Mini ears, exploring the Sleeping Beauty Castle and meeting Darth Vader.

This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise considering a). it’s the happiest place on Earth, and b). some 18.2 million people visited the park in 2015 alone.

The Eiffel Tower came in as the second most Instagrammed attraction with 7.2 million tags, followed by Walt Disney World in Florida with 5.4 million references.
