Throwback Thursday - Disney Style!

(Throwback Thursday is a way to document pre-blogging life.)


These e-cards basically tell my Disney story...

1) I think there might be something wrong with a person if they hate DIsney.
2) I'd prefer to be at Disney rather than work, any day.
3) I don't even know any Nickelodeon stuff. 
4) And yes, I do love Disney as much as (if not more than) your average child. 
So what?  

**********************************
I've taken so many trips to Disneyland, I honestly can't even begin to count them. 
It's one of the advantages of living in So Cal.  
Almost every time we had out of state visitors when I was a kid, particularly my mom's side of the family, that's where we went.  The happiest place on earth!  
It's a family thing.  

Anyhow, here are some pics from before my blogging days, of various trips to both DisneyLAND and DisneyWORLD over the years.    
(Prepare for a photo overload!! It wasn't easy to cut any out! )

This one is a classic.  Splash mountain splash camera!  
This is from 2003.  
My little brother in the front, he's 21 now.  ;-) 



This was a trip I took about 5 years ago (with my mom & 2 aunts) when my cousin was doing an internship at WDW.  See that Mt. Everest in the background?  That's where she worked while she was there.  The best roller coaster in all of the parks!



On the left of this collage is the 5 of us (plus a totally awesome and willing participant riding next to my mom) sleeping on Expedition Everest after our 12th time riding it that day.  hehehe   
Then us getting ready to ride it AGAIN! and me with my "baby" cousin. 



More of us on that particular trip.... group shots in front of Disney landmarks.


 An earlier DisneyWorld trip with just one aunt...lots of ME at Epcot!  :-)  (I LOVE Epcot.)



This is from a trip when my aunt was in SoCal visiting.  We like visors. 


Same trip, in front of the Haunted Mansion.  YIKES!  ;-)

Do you guys remember that year when Disney was letting everyone visit the parks FREE on their birthday?  Well, I took full advantage.   I forced convinced my MIL to go on her birthday (in January) and we had a BLAST!  She is not a big Disney fan but it was a really fun day, and I think I swayed her toward the Disney point of view.


I also talked my Dad into coming down from San Francisco so we could go on HIS birthday (in March).  This was a really fun trip, too.  I got him a birthday pin so every park employee wished him a happy day, and he was so genuinely happy and thankful, it was adorable.  (Still in my visor stage.)



And...a few other randoms that make me smile.  
We never get tired of the "no dancing" signs on the rides. ;-)



OK, I better stop with FB/MySpace reminiscing before you all fall asleep.  ;-)  
DISNEY!  I love it!  That is all.  :-) 

(If any of you are ever in SoCal and going to Disneyland, I'm a great tour guide! haha)

Sometime in the not too far future, I am hoping to turn Throwback Thursdays into a link up, with the lovely ERICA of Mi Todo.  She is in the process of moving to another country right now (!!) so it might be a few weeks more before we get anything figured out.  
But, if you're interested, leave a comment so I can try to remember to let you know once I know more.
