The Top 25 Places People Checked In On Facebook In 2013 Shows The Most Popular Destination In The World

Going on vacation seems to be less and less about having a good time and more for checking in somewhere on social media to improve clout to those who follow our lives online.

To prove this, Facebook has listed the 25 most checked-in places on the massive social network, from Disneyland in Anaheim, California, to the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa.

From sporting arenas to popular city squares, the list shows some of the most famous places all over the world.

Of the top 25 places, the common theme seems to be Disney, as four Disney theme parks made the list, from California,Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong, proving people want to see Mickey Mouse and friends all over the globe.

One thing that stands out about the list is there isn’t a check-in from New York City on the list, and this may be due to the fact that there isn’t one central location in which people would check in.

One Direction Boys Meet Katy Perry in Tokyo, Niall Horan Falls in Love—See the Pics!

John Mayer, watch out! Niall Horan's got a pretty big crush on Katy Perry!

On Friday, Nov. 1, the One Direction boy-bander—along with Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, naturally—met up with the "Dark Horse" singer in Tokyo. All the guys seemed happy to pose for pics with the brunette beauty, but it was Niall who was clearly head over heels!

The 20-year-old Irish cutie Instagrammed a selfie with Katy cuddled up to him, cheek-to-cheek, writing, "she said yes ! It's happening! Haha."

He then posted a shot of the 29-year-old pop star surrounded by all five 1D boys, captioning the precious pic, "Me and my groomsmen and my lovely wife hahahaha."

You never know, Niall, you just never know. Katy was also excited to meet Niall—and Harry, Liam, Louis and Zayn. "Today could not be a better day," she tweeted. "I get to hang with @pamyurin [a Japanese artist] & @onedirection on MUSIC STATION in TOKYO!"

It's been a good week for K.P., actually. Her album Prism debuted at no. 1 on Billboard Top 200 and become the biggest record by a pop female in 2013. "For that I say THANK YOU," she tweeted. "I hope you are enjoying all the colors #PRISM has to offer. I promise to continue to give back...Tour next year… And so many opportunities to be a light very soon. Your love & support for the music means the world to me. X."
