It All Started With a Mouse

Dreams really do come true...

I love Peter Pan
 
Ever since I was a kid I could remember Mickey Mouse. I mean, who can forget him? He is everywhere! My first trip to Walt Disney World, in Florida, was in 1976. The only park built back then was the Magic Kingdom and four hotels. I only remember bits and pieces of the trip like being scared half to death in the Haunted Mansion. My mom wouldn't tell me what we were going to see until we were in line so I cried a lot and didn't quit until the hitchhiking ghost sat in the doombuggy with us. We stayed all day long and watched the Fantasy in the Sky fireworks until closing. Then I passed out asleep.

It wasn't until many many years later that my mom, brother, sister and I all went in 1994. Ever since then we have made it a family tradition to go every year. Sometimes twice. Each of us have our favorite rides, park, hotel(s), restaurants and character(s).

In 1995, my brother, sister and I went to Anaheim, CA for the 40th Anniversary at Disneyland. This park, I must say, is very different from WDW in FL. Although it is smaller, you get the feeling of nostalgia everywhere and once inside, the smallness becomes gigantic! Personally, I found the rides here to be better eye candy than in FL. Especially with the Indiana Jones Adventure ride since FL does not have it. That ride is a definate must see when visiting. Pirates of the Caribbean, Small World and The Mad Tea Party are also better.

There are helpful links below to guide you to Disney, whichever one you choose, if ever you should go.

Please remember to keep arms and hands inside the vehicle at all times and please, no flash photography. Thank you and enjoy your ride!

I am the Attic Bride!
You are the Attic Bride! You are the type who just can't seem to let go of the past. True, you've been screwed over, but isn't kickin' it in the attic in full Havisham mode a little much? Anyway, you like flowers and have a healthy heart rate. That's pretty cool.

Space Mountain
Space Mountain: A thrilling rocket ride through the
darkness of outer space! Futuristic and
forward thinking, you have just enough 2001-esk
elements without escaping Walt Disney's utopian
vision for a brighter tomorrow. You represent
speed, stealthiness, and the promise of
technology, while your Dick Dale surf guitar
riff of a soundtrack makes you retro and
mysterious, without being corny. Keep the
lights low and avoid revealing too much, lest
you ruin the show, you're only going 28 mph!
Regardless of speed, you prove that in the
vacuum in space, you CAN hear people scream!
