Re: What does Disneyland mean to you? Post your thoughts and memories here!

Disneyland to me is one of the few places on Earth where I have fond memories from my childhood AND I have made new memories with my own children. It is truly a happy place that my family feels is migical. Sorry if that comes off as sappy, but it is the truth for my family and I.

That's not sappy, that's great. And it's what Disney is all about!

I've only been to DL once, when I was 7, so I don't have a ton of memories of it. I do remember though, my sister and I were sitting in the front of the Storybook Canal Boats, and I was petrified that the whale was going to eat me!

I did to!!! It took me a long time to figure that piece of magic out! Did you know that the machine that "shrank" guests can still be seen in the first part of Star Tours? Yep....it's true

Me too!

I remember my mom asking me if I wanted to go on that ride and I started bawling!

(For the record, I never did ride it until I was 21 years old! )

Did you have to cover your eyes when you went on it?

Almost......but then I saw through to the other side of the whale and realized I wasn't going to get eaten after all!

(And I say this with utmost seriousness...I used to have bad dreams about that whale! LOL)

Re: What does Disneyland mean to you? Post your thoughts and memories here!

I already told you guys to make a wish in the Snow white wishing fountain outside the castle for me... that would be my favorite memory is to sit there on a lovely day and nobody else knew it was there so it felt like I had the whole park to myself!
