My daughter wants me to take her to Disneyland today. Should we go or shall I stay home and watch golf all day? Your votes decide!
Please trust me on this one. My daughter is almost 18 and now I am not a hi priority in her life. I miss the times when she was little/ younger. There is nothing in the world that can replace the missed moments with someone you love. What can any sports game on tv can do for you in 5 years. Sitting arround talking with you buddies- Wow, that game 5on years ago really changed my life, did you see how he swang that club? Glad I passed yo the time at Dland with my daughter. I have a better golf swing though..... Im not saying this to belittle you or put down your likes. I love fishing but if my daughter perfers to do something else, well that 5 pounder will waite. I know this because it was ne. DONT LET THIS GET BY YOU! - PinTrader262.7 #910 1-28-12 11:28AMLike(15) Reply

I went to the Rose Bowl flea market today to look around for Disney pins. There was hardly any Disneyana at all, and what I did find was mostly overpriced. Oh well, now I know better.

We went on Casey Jr. once just before the fireworks and the CM drove the train so fast we were actually getting nervous. Big Thunder was not the wildest ride that day. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Besides New Years, does Disneyland ever stay open past Midnight like they used to? I miss the 1am closing time. Also, anyone know if there are any plans to start keeping DCA open later than 10pm?
I read in a post that once the construction is done they plan to extend the hours at DCA!! - momof3cuties3.5 #17289 7-7-11 9:25PMLike Reply

Aww I was about to go dig out my old kids meal thing that has the different crowns of the castle and their years listed... I wonder if anyone else has one of those, back from the 50 year anniversary thing? It had 2 pics of the castle on the front and opened up and had a magnetic checkerboard and on the back had a matching game with the crowns of the castle and their eras... lol this is what happens when I get tired.
