It was POURING rain, but we had a blast anyways. Soggy shoes, socks and clothes. We made the most of it and rode all the rides without having to wait in line. He was such a trooper because even in wet, damp clothes we stayed for the parade and fireworks. Would love to take him and our daughter to the "Happiest Place on Earth" for the holidays!

Living in San Diego we try to get there as much as possible. My favorite memory was from 1999. We were there celebrating my birthday and had just our one daughter at the time. My best friend and her family joined us along with my parents. The memory is when it was time for the big parade of the day to start and we were trying to find a spot to sit. There just happened to be a cast member standing by and my friend asked "Where is the best place to see the parade?" He kinda teased us a bit while saying "do you really want to know?" After saying yes a couple times he said "the best place to see the parade is in the parade...would you like to be in the parade today?" Well, that was what we did....our hubbies and kids sat on the sides to watch (the cast memeber found them a gredt spot) and we were loaded onto a double decker bus and taken "back stage" where we put on a little tutu (over our clothes) and was taught a little dance (very quickly) and she and I along with a couple other cast memebers carried the rope at the end of the parade. It was soooo much fun!! Amazing to see all of the smiling faces of kids and grown ups alike! We even got a special pin for participating in it!

Both my brother and I had been there on separate occasions, but our parents had never been. Growing up we always vacationed in a camper, every spring and summer. I would have to say that Disneyland was one of the funnest family trips we had ever been on since it was pretty much the first family trip we went on as adult kids and the first family trip we took a plane to. My parents had not flown for 20 years, that was an experience all in itself. It was only four days, but it was a lot of fun! .-= Ruhama Lange´s last blog ..<a href="http://ruhammie.blogspot.com/2009/10/ten-tiny-toes.html" rel="nofollow">Ten Tiny Toes...</a> =-.

I was the middle child and only boy with two older sisters and two younger sisters. The road trip was full of "our we there yet" and a lot of teasing (mostly by me). 14 hours in a car can make you crazy. But when we got to the park it was all fun. My mom had scheduled the best times to be at all the rides and we followed her schedule to a tee. It was probably my fondest memory as a child. I can't wait to take my children there 24 years later.

I remember the whole family watching it around supper time. It was one of the few programs we all actually watched together. Just thinking about it now makes me nostalgic. Ah.

My girls would absolutely love it! Especially my oldest, she truly believes she is a princess, and I have to agree with her. When I was a little girl my family used to have Disney Movie night once a week. We'd pop popcorn, snuggle up together, and enjoy one of our favorite Disney movies. I ALWAYS voted for Peter Pan. I had such a crush on Peter. LoL. I used to pretend I was Wendy, I'd practice my "Flying" by leaping off the stairs. (To this day I still swear I took flight one or two times) It broke my heart when I finally realized that Peter and I could never have a future together because he was a two demensional fictional character. Don't feel too bad for me though, my heart mended eventually and I grew up to marry my own personal Prince Charming ...who just happens to have a Peter Pan complex. :) I have never taken my family to Disneyland, but have always wanted to.

I was about five at the time, a very tall five year old (think 8 year old height). My older brother and dad went on Thunder Railroad and came back telling me how much fun it was. :) I was intrigued (my 5 year old self) and asked my grandpa to go with me. I really don't think that ride is meant for 5 year olds. ;) I got so scared that I peed my pants (not a ton, but enough) and started crying and instead of anyone around me laughing, this is the chain of events that followed: Grandpa and I stepped out of the roller coaster and my grandpa got a drink (not sure if it was his or someone else's, but it was right away) and he poured it on himself. Not to look like he peed, but to look like he spilled on himself and me. He asked me if I wanted to go home to change and I said I was ok. My brother, who was notorious for making fun of me and teasing me, did not say a word. The two of us, my grandpa and I, walked around the park with our wet pants and enjoyed the rest of the day together. This is such a great memory because I know that if it would have happened anywhere else I would been made fun of or stared at, but we were at Disneyland and not one person made a comment. Believe me, I remember cranky, rude people's comments and I don't remember one. It was just a magical day and I can't wait to make a magical day for my own children and my husband (who still has not been to Disneyland). Hopefully I won't have to pour a drink on my pants to do it, but I would do it if I needed to. I love the feeling you have the night before you know you are going, unable to sleep or concentrate on anything except what you think it will be like, the feeling you get when you enter those gates and finally the most amazing feeling you get when you see that favorite character give you all the attention for that special moment.
