  • In 1976 My Grandmother and her 3 older sisters took me to Disneyland During the Bicentennial celebration. I was 10 years old and My Grandmother was 60 and each of her sisters were much older. We walked in and they told me to meet them at Plaza Inn for lunch at noon. I rode ride after ride until lunch when i met up with then. We watched the Parade and did so many things I couldn’t wait to take my children when I had them, the memories of holding Grandma’s hand during the parade, watching them all laugh at the horseshoe show and giggle like school girls on teacups are memories that bring a smile to my face. I cannot imagine having MY 10 year old run around Disneyland like i did but it was a different time!
