We FINALLY went to Disneyland! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. koalatbs (120)   ranked 1 out of 13 in disneyland3 months ago

We did it... finally. We got to go to Disneyland! We are living in California for only 2 years while my husband is in dental school in San Francisco. He was scheduled to attend the California Dental Association's spring scientific session in Anaheim so we all went along to take advantage of the opportunity before we move back east this summer. We figured we couldn't possibly live in California and not go to Disneyland while we are here! It was so much fun.
Has anybody else been there? I'd love to see your pictures too. I have attached one, but we took a tons of others.

Ever since I was a child, it was my dream to get there. I only some photographs in T.V. but never been there personally. Since I live in the Philippines. Incomes is not that high but still I hope someday I can go there


myLot reputation of 97/100. koalatbs (120)   ranked 1 out of 13 in disneyland  3 months ago

I sure hope you get the chance to go to Disneyland some day too amnher. Maybe some day you will. Keep your dream alive!


myLot reputation of 95/100. arcidy (2289)  3 months ago

Wow youve lived in california and its took you that long to go to disneyland lol. I only went there once and I was a kid then I dont remember it to well. But I would like to go back there again I think the jurassic park ride is there and Ive always wanted to go on that ride to see if its realistic or not. But it looks fun plus I want to go on the movie rides there.

kaolatbs, I am so happy for you that you & your family got to go. I am so glad you had a wonderful time. I would love to see your pictures also. I have not ever gotton to go there, I hope to get to go some day. I am not much for travelin' cause my back is so bad and a trip of a long nature just about gets me down....so I dread to even plan a trip because of that.
But who knows what the future holds???? Maybe, maybe not...LOL
HUGS!


myLot reputation of 97/100. koalatbs (120)   ranked 1 out of 13 in disneyland  3 months ago

Hi kcook57 - Thanks for replying. I am sorry about your back. I have been suffering from an undiagnosed medical condition for over a year now and have been unable to work. Doctor thinks I might have MS but he is not sure. I have a lot of joint pains, especially in my legs. So, I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to handle the trip. But, the plane ride was short because we live in California. We only spent one day walking around Disney and I was very sore by the end of the day. I just was careful and some things I couldn't do because it hurts too much to sit on hard surfaces. It presses on the nerves in the back of my legs. I hope you are able to go to Disneyland some day and I sure hope your back feels better soon. Have you ever been to a Chiropractor?


myLot reputation of 66/100. kcook57 (857)  3 months ago

Hmmm, sounds like you have some serious problems going on there.
Yes, I have saw a Chiropractor, and some things they can help, like the spine align, and it feels so good after that....but some of my underlying problems they just cannot help. I wish they could, surgery will not even benefit me. I have some serious back problems going on.

HUGS

I was there in 1972. I had a great time there, and always wanted to go back. I go to Florida once or twice a year, but haven't been to Disney world yet. I'm planning on taking my grand niece there when she's old enough to enjoy it.


myLot reputation of 97/100. koalatbs (120)   ranked 1 out of 13 in disneyland  3 months ago

I bet it was still just as much fun in 1972 as it is now. I hope you get to go again someday. Let me see... in 1972 I was only 3 years old. LoL! Sorry, didn't mean to make you feel old. I feel ten times older than I really am at just 38 years of age. My medical problem makes me feel about 80!
It will be great if you can take your grandniece to Disney World when she is a bit older. How old is she now?


myLot reputation of 100/100. KarenO52 (2330)  3 months ago

She's 7 months old.

How fun!! Isn't it funny how the people who LIVE right near a tourist attraction are sometimes the last to go...? Why is that? I always thought it was because you think "oh, tomorrow..." or whatever.*shrug*

I haven't been to Disneyland but I did go to Disney World when I was about 12 or so.


myLot reputation of 97/100. koalatbs (120)   ranked 1 out of 13 in disneyland  3 months ago

I agree with you above31rubies. I think people always think that they can always go whenever they want to but then never do! We are only living here for 2 years so we definitely wanted to go see Disneyland before leaving this summer. My son is 13 years old now as well so I wanted to be sure to get him there before he turned 50! LoL

Yep, I went but such a long time ago it's embarrassing to remember how long ago! So I don't have any pictures to share with you but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was all that it was said it would be, loads of fun, lots of rides (that I could go on too, without them being too scary).

I am so glad that you had a great time and had the opportunity to go. Well done you!

Thanks for sharing your happy moments with us.


myLot reputation of 97/100. koalatbs (120)   ranked 1 out of 13 in disneyland  3 months ago

Yes, it was a blast! My son's favorite ride was Space Mountain... it might have been mine too!

That is great that you managed to get there
It is one of my Dreams but one that will never come true lol 1. I don't like flying, I am scared, 2. It would cost me a lot to get there and stay
I am glad you took your Chance and went


myLot reputation of 97/100. koalatbs (120)   ranked 1 out of 13 in disneyland  3 months ago

It was a lot of fun! I'm glad we went too. We only spent one day in the park as we are pretty low on cash too, but it was worth it. We just made sure we planned on what we really wanted to make sure to see & ride while we were there. We went online to look at the different rides beforehand and wrote down which ones we definitely wanted to make sure we had a chance to do. It was a good plan since we didn't have much time. The park is really too big to see the whole thing in one day. Maybe one day we will be able to go back again to see the rest.

I'm so glad you made it to Disneyland - and it made sense to take the chance and go there before you move back east this summer. Sounds like it was well worth it, thanks for sharing the photo, it's great.
I would love to go to Disneyland, but it's a long way from Australia, and would cost an arm and a leg! I will have to continue dreaming, lol!


myLot reputation of 97/100. koalatbs (120)   ranked 1 out of 13 in disneyland  3 months ago

Wow... living in Australia! Were you born & raised there? You see, you'd love to come to the states to see Disney, but one of my dreams is to go overseas to visit places like Australia and many others too!


myLot reputation of 100/100. abbey19 (1310)  3 months ago

No, I'm not a true blue Aussie (although I am an Australian Citizen)! I've lived in lots of places during my life - I was born in Scotland, and moved to England at age 10, as my mother re-married and he was a soldier. We got sent to Germany for 2 years where I went to school, then we went to Singapore for 3 years, then back to the UK where I finished off my schooling.
I emigrated to Australia when I was 19 with my hubby where we stayed for 3 years, but I got homesick and we returned to the UK. We had our children there, then moved to Florida to open a business. We were there for 3 years, and our daughter still lives there. We returned to Australia with our 2 sons years ago, and have been here ever since. This is home!
You should visit if you ever get the chance - it's a magnificent country to travel through, lots of breathtaking scenery and weird and wonderful animals to see!

I have never been there or to Disney World. In fact I have never even been to California or Florida. I have never left the central US. I bet you guys had a blast.


myLot reputation of 97/100. koalatbs (120)   ranked 1 out of 13 in disneyland  3 months ago

Hi lilybug - Yes, it was a lot of fun. I'm glad we had the chance to go. I was lucky to be able to spend 2 years here living in California as I spent most of my life in the north eastern part of the U.S. (Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia... oh, & also in Missouri too)!

Hey, well we haven't been to Disneyland, but we did go to Disney World in Florida. It's so much fun, we went in 2005. I loved seeing all the characters, and riding the rides. Plus we went to various sight seeing tours. I loved Disney, and would recommend it to anyone to go to any of the Disney parks.

myLot reputation of 97/100. koalatbs (120)   ranked 1 out of 13 in disneyland  3 months ago

Hi callarse1 - I'm glad you were able to go to Disney World in Florida. Maybe some day you'll be able to go to Disneyland too! We did have a blast!
