Happy Birthday Disneyland.

At the risk of being utterly lame, I am doing a post about Disneyland. Why? In addition to it being the site of the upcoming 5k let me tell you a few reasons why I still love Disneyland.

1. Tanya agreed to marry me when I proposed at Disneyland . (It’s a great story, but she can tell it if she likes)
2. The only photo I know of with my Maternal Grandfather was after a trip to Disneyland when I was almost 2, and all of the kids are wearing Disney shirts. It’s an image easy to recall from years of looking at the photo.
3. My kids love the place. They seem to really love Toon Town right now.
4. I love how excited Tanya and Taylor get at the end of the night to get a Churro.
5. The Jungle Cruise

I really enjoy the spirit that went in to creating Disneyland, as evidenced in the dedication by Walt Disney.

Dedication

	To all who come to this happy place – welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America… with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world. Thank you.
