Disneyland (1997)

These pix and tix are from my trip to Disneyland in 1997 ~ which is funny to me now (12 years later) because I now live so close.  I had never been to Disneyland as a child, but got to go as an adult (I was 23 or so).  The cool part was that my boyfriend at the time had an Uncle that worked there.  And I don’t mean running a ride, or serving up fries, he was the Director of Operations of Disneyland.  It was great to see the “behind the scenes” and get an explanation of how it all works.  I think if I had been a kid and had the same tour it would have ruined the magic of the place.  But as an adult I found knowing the Disney secrets made it much more fun!  I rode the rides, got pictures of Winnie the Pooh and got a pair of Mickey Mouse ears to wear around for the day.  I know a lot of people say that when you go as an adult, it isn’t really that fun ~ but I have to say I had a great time that day.
