On this cold early day, we left our hostel with anticipation on the magic that Everland may give. We take train from Jonggak to Jamsil Station for about 45 mins, and take bus#5700 which is almost an hour to reach Everland bus stop. From there the resort shuttle will bring you to the theme park.

Everland Resort is the largest theme park located outside Seoul in Yongin and is considered "Disney of Korea". It is a 3-in-1 park consisting of Festival World, Caribbean Bay and Speedway. If i'm not wrong, entrance to Everland also entitles one to visit Carribean Bay for free. However, time flies when you are in Everland, and the park is huge. Festival World has thrilling rides, jungle safari, zoo, shows and seasonal festivals. Caribbean Bay is a huge water park with wave pools and water slides. Speedway is where you can enjoy car racing.  

Each season there is a theme, and when we were there it was the Halloween, and the entire park was decorated. It really was quite spectacular and great for picture taking. Be sure to get the free tickets to watch the Madagascar Circus Show before heading for rides as they are limited. If you are into adrenaline rush, you must queue for T-Express, which is a wooden roller coaster with the steepest decline of any wooden roller coaster in the world. There are many restaurants and many events going on throughout the park, so be sure to read the electronic monitors. Also visit the Safari World as soon as possible as the lines are longer than for any other attractions. You will board a closed in bus and it drives thru fence enclosed areas with live tigers, lions, bears and LIGER. The bus stops to feed the animals and it is a great picture taking opportunity.

Here is cost breakdown.

I'm a frugal adventurous traveller thus going on travel with me means taking public transportation, a lot of exploration by foot and constant interaction with local residence. This I would warn my co-travellers before going on a trip, besides group tours doesn't give you the full travel experience.

The transportation system in Korea is easy, convenient and most of all cheap. But you must plan your route carefully as you should consider travel timing and distance between sites to visit. However, language could be barrier as few Koreans could speak English. A basic Hangeul lessons and body language would be helpful. Although you might not probably remember your Hangeul lessons, you can try to interpret what they are saying...hehe :p You can visit Talk To Me In Korean for some lessons, it really helped me a lot :) Also, write down the places in Korean in case you might need help with directions. Koreans are very friendly and helpful people, they will go to the extent of bringing you to the place you are looking for.
