I was 7 years old living in Orange County in 1955, just having moved back from several years in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado.

Went to Disneyland soon after it opened. Had HS “grad-night” there as well.

We must have gone the following year when I would have been 14; we drove from Iowa to CA to see lots of sights and visit some friends and relatives.

I don't remember a whole lot about it, and it wasn't crowded like in the news photo.

We rode the teacups, I made them turn and got dizzy lol. I remember a cable car type ride up high and a riverboat we didn't go on.

That's all I remember, don't remember prices, food, etc. I think there might have been a shuttlebus from the huge parking area but am not sure.

I never really wanted to go back; my kids had Adventureland and 6 Flags. But I'm glad I got to go; it was my dream and I begged my father to take us there.

I was teaching first grade in 54-55 and the first group of kids received the Salk Vaccine.

It was a miracle to all of us.

(Off topic but brought back memories.)
