I was five years old when Disneyland opened and I promised myself that there were three things I would do when I grew up…Go to college, Go to Disneyland and keep a promise I made to a friend (who passed away of
polio before there were vaccines). Well here I am and I’ve accomplished all three. I got to Disneyland at 29, finished college years ago and kept that promise. As a child we didn’t have much money but Disney shows and movies and the library taught me so much about the world and about other cultures and dreams. I once worked with Dick Clark and it was a standing joke that I was five years older than Disneyland and American Bandstand. Over the years while teaching I also worked p/t in one of the original Disney Stores for fifteen year
and while living in Florida worked at the Park for a short time. It’s all so expensive now. .but I always have lessons, friendships and dreams that was the gift of Disneyland.
