Originally Posted By friendofdd Welcome back Indigo! I thoroughly enjoy your perspective on DL. I'm too old to have ever visited the park as a child, but you put us there with Jimmy, and I have a greater appreciation of the child's point of view. Thank you. I've experienced the gridlock of the freeways and so have taken the drastic step of purchasing a home 20 minutes away on surface streets.

Originally Posted By lemisfan That was a great articale. I think you wrote about the experiance of a child at dinseyland pretty well. I remember going to disneyland when i was a kid and loved it. racing to everyride before the day ended. Now i don't even do that since i have an AP. ITs kind of nice. but i do miss the days before the pass and fastpass were you could race to almost all the rides and ride them all in one day. It was so much fun to race with my friends to each and every ride. Ah childhood memories!

When you type something into a search engine you pretty much get everything related to the topic that it can find. So I was just downloading picture files that had the word Disneyland in it. I would never keep somebody's personal pictures of them wherever they are, with them in the pictures, unless i knew them and had permission. That would be a bit creepy dont ya think?
