I got my license in 1958 an haven't stopped since.
In late 40's and early 50's, each Sunday Dad would load the family in the car and we go for a "drive." No where in particular, just a drive. Can we everget back or even toward that life?
Disneyland, Anaheim, CA opened on July 17, 1955. We lived in CA and went there thirteen times with our two sons!!!
It was a wonderful trip into pass when things slower movings and open to enjoining America !
What great fun. I was a sophomore in high school in 1950. Those were great days.
It was great. Peaceful and quiet, not like today.
I expected to see myself as an adult in there. Great!!!
Mel- that was beyond good. Yep, I'm 76. Old as the hills. ha
As a kid, we loaded up the car for the Sunday drive and picnic. Good memories. Thanks, Mel.
Where or where did those good days go? PS; to Martin- Disney land was before Disney world.Thanks Mel.
Brings back some fond memories.
You KNOW I loved this one since I lived through that era. A truly awesome time to be alive.
Awesome pictures!
just loved this
They forgot New England
What a nice trip down memory lane when our country and it's people were civilized and respected everything and everyone.
hannah must be thinking of Disney WORLD. It didn't exist until 1972. I remember when it opened because it was only around 30 miles from my home town of Auburndale, Florida. I was 14 when it opened and it WAS huge then.
Lots of memories on this one. I was little but remember a bit.
I wish there were less people who visited all of these places - we want to go on a road trip but not encounter thousands of lookee-loos
Sorry; it opened in 1955.
