A DISNEY Company...
...not run under the command and influence of some very powerful Friends of the CLINTONS...
...i.e. President MICHAEL EISNER and Chairman of the Board GEORGE MITCHELL...
...was indeed a transforming happy time for kids of all ages.

Those were the days before interstate highways. The few kids in my grade school who got to goto Disneyland were mini-celebrities. My parents couldn't afford a cross-country car trip with 5 kids.
When my son graduated from high school, we went to Orlando and went to Walt Disney World. Honest to pete, when I got off the ferry and stood in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle, I started crying. I was 38 years old, and almost all my life I had wanted to see the Disney park.
I haven't been back since the mid-90's, but I hope to go with my grandkids in the next couple of years. I want to go on the Peter Pan ride and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Thanks for the memories, all!
