Happy 65th Birthday Disneyland!

Some can be seen posted on brass plaques at the entrance, while others are "heard" in Morse Code broadcasting from the New Orlands Train Station. "To those who come to this … (2 comments)
disneyland: Happy 64th Birthday to Disneyland July 17
- 07/17/19 04:52 PM
On July 17, 1955 the famous theme park is dedicated and opened by founder Walt Disney in Anaheim, California. Scoffed at as an ambitious folly, Walt's dream has since become "The Happiest Place on Earth" to millions.
On that first day, many things went wrong. The asphalt hadn't had time to properly cure and ladies found their high heeled pumps sinking into the black goo. Walt had to make hard choice between water fountains and bathrooms. He wisely chose bathrooms. (Water fountains were soon hooked up.) Thousands of fake tickets were distributed, resulting in overwhelming crowds. And of course, many rides … (6 comments)
disneyland: I Survived 118 Degree Heat at Disneyland July 8, 2018!
- 07/09/18 01:57 PM
I Survived 118 Degree Heat at Disneyland July 8, 2018! by Disneyland Annual Passholder Many folks consider visiting Disneyland and California Adventure in Anaheim, California during summer vacation. Here are some pros and cons to help survive the recent extreme heat wave. Pros of visiting Disneyland in 118 degree heat: 1) Fewer visitors attend either Disneyland or California Adventure, making the Parks less crowdesd. Also most fellow park visitors are die-hard Disney fans. 2) The lower attendee count results in shorter ride and attraction lines. People literally just "walked on" to Pirates of the Caribbean. Other popular ride line waits were 15 minutes or less. 3) Refillable drink … (4 comments)

Yet we had a big goal to go to Disneyland for our anniversary. We prayed a lot. I drove the whole way there and back (usually he drives). Steve was discharged from Santa Clara Valley Medical Center Sunday and Wednesday we celebrated our twenty-fifth anniversary in Disneyland. I definitely recommend renting scooters!

An Honest Gardener Named Jose Acosta Made My Thanksgiving Holiday By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe "Where did I put it?" For hours, I'd been searching the usual places I set my REALTOR® photo ID card and badge holder necklace which also holds my professional identification, debit and credit cards-my desk, my charging station, the car, and next to my bed. No luck. I was supposed to be packing for our annual family reunion Thanksgiving trip to Disneyland but the mounting anxiety prevented me from moving forward. I kept fussing and double-checking the same places, and then looking in odd ones-my library book … (5 comments)
