I live in Alaska but I am always planning my next Disneyland trip. It is the place that all of my siblings meet up to share some magic with the next generation.

TBT: This is me in 1983. My mom was so proud she found this picture! Proud to be raised a Disneyand kid!
And you weren't scared and running away from such big teeth. Brave adorable child! - TikiBird  164.7 #2085 4:44PM
Adorable. You had angel baby hair (you know...like all the pictures of baby angels). - DisneyGrandma  336.1 #442 4:45PM
Yes! My hair was practically white till I was at least 10. - AKMouse  376.5 #363 4:47PM
So did my youngest daughter. It was whispy and very light. Sooo sweet. - DisneyGrandma  336.1 #442 4:50PM
I am having a baby girl very soon and I am really curious to see what her hair is like. - AKMouse  376.5 #363 6:55PM

I created a calendar with all the September attraction and eatery closures. DM me with your email address if you would like a copy. I am a visual person and needed it all lined out in one place. **Indy closure is now on the official Disneyland list.
I just printed it out. You did an amazing job. Thank you. - aidensmama  336.3 #441 4:20PM
that's so nice of you..did you see my post of all of the holiday closures? It was so long I thought it might upset people when they got finger scrolling cramps. lol. - Linzee  515.1 #227 2:50PM
Yes! I used your post and other sources to add to my list. I compared those to what is on the official list and have highlighted the "rumored" closures in red since they aren't currently listed. - AKMouse  376.5 #363 2:58PM
I am such a geek! I am not even going to Disneyland in September! I just like crowd patterns and statistics too. **hangs head in shame** - AKMouse  376.5 #363 2:59PM
Just DMed you...thanks again! :) - MissAmericaSings  270.4 #817 12:04AM
Very cool, I will DM you, if you don't mind :) I have two visits planned for September! - MrsMears  212.0 #1450 12:33AM

Calling all Lurkers! Have you considered posting a Google picture just to be known in the Lounge? There is a better way! Post comments and let your name be known! Start right here and jump in the conversation! Today's get the know lurkers question is: what Disney movie has most influenced your life and why? Ready go!
I like you. This is a better idea than googled pics. - JenInWonderland  1025.1 #86 12:05PM
Thanks! It is sometimes hard to contribute when you don't live nearby and don't have live pictures. I think it is interesting to find out who is really out there. :) - AKMouse  376.5 #363 12:08PM
agreed! - nicoleface  1247.5 #65 12:09PM
I don't know, Google pics are pretty cool. - TheNewTrent  508.1 #232 2:49PM
^ Smack👋💢😂 - SueBayou  2012.0 #34 2:52PM
Lol not those pics Sue! Haha 😂 - TheNewTrent  508.1 #232 3:06PM
i think Aladdin. it taught me that stealin is ok so long as its just an apple or bread and that i give half to starving kids. jk. its been really influential with my flying carpet research... breakthrough soon. i liked aladding because i think it was the first Disney Movie that a guy could sing to. i dont remember the classics or little mermaid having too many aongs that a young hero could sing (lil mermaid had sebastian's songs, but i didnt like pretending to be a crab) - Radius  501.1 #236 1:38PM
I try to be an active commenter! But I really don't get to the parks enough to post live pics or even add wait times 😥my favorite and most influential movie is A Goofy Movie! Not only does it have my favorite songs, it describes my adolescent relationship with my mother to a T. Whenever I watch it I shake my head in remembrance of my tennage rebellion. And then I get all teary eyed when Goofy says "you may not be a little boy anymore, but you'll always be my son!!" 😭 - angelle  7.1 #8074 7:21PM
Aw, now I want some Hi Dad Soup, lol 😂 - Spoonful_O_Sugar  435.8 #283 7:27PM
so cute. i love a goofy movie so much. - nicoleface  1247.5 #65 5:56PM
I've always been a fan of The Hunchback of Notre Dame! It displays that there is beauty is everyone. 😁 - SquishyGlamazon  115.5 #2798 6:10PM

What DLR eating establishments closed for off-season? I don't want to get my heart set on Big Thunder Ranch BBQ if they aren't going to be open when I go.
I don't think any close during non-peak season. Its just park hours that are cut back - BaseballMickey_CM  2789.1 #16 11:56AM
Good to know. For some reason I always feel like I am missing out on food places. I always end up at the same few spots. I am determined to dine out of my comfort zone on my next trip. - AKMouse  376.5 #363 12:08PM

Calling all lurkers! Do you have stalker level knowledge of your favorite MWers but your user name has never hit the Lounge? This is the post for you! Our get to know our lurkers question of the day is: What year was your first visit to Disneyland? Estimations or generalities are allowed for those who can't remember or don't want to show their age. Ready go!
Haha love this post! I try not to lurk but I don't go often enough to have much to add. I just have a passion for Disney and require a Disney supplement to sooth my "ears" shaped heart. I truly enjoy seeing all of the fabulous photos. My first trip 1987 (2 months old). Thanks all of you "regulars" for keeping us all updated! - RaisedByWalt  131.1 #2568 4:03PM
I've been coming since the beginning (I was 4 in 1955). Don't mind showing my age  - debbiev  58.6 #3585 3:34PM
I bet you have some Amazing stories!! - Pintraderswife  458.5 #265 3:36PM
How awesome to have been able to see the park in it's beginning and through all of it's glorious transformations. - Goofdog  169.8 #2009 3:36PM
My parents are both that way as well. They both went as young children within the first week of the park opening. They have been going ever since. My mom still comes to the park with us. Now we take 3 generations to share together. - AKMouse  376.5 #363 3:37PM
That's wonderful!!! How special to be a first generation Disneyland'er!! You grew up right along with the Happiest Place on Earth!! - GibsonGirl87  281.2 #719 3:53PM
Never thought about it, but I guess I am a first gen D-lander! I've had lots of fun here - debbiev  58.6 #3585 4:55PM
would love to see some photo's from everyone that has been going since the opening!  - PrincessLani  110.2 #2895 8:45PM

#Retro Day: I may be breaking the retro day rules but these are not Googled pictures. These came from a book my Mom bought in 1963. I loved the Plaid and the old Rocket to the Moon pictures!
These pics are cool and fun to see no matter where they came from. The pic in the lower right, is that Mission to Mars?? I vaguely remember riding it and I think that's what the inside looked like. - MsStarlite  201.6 #1599 11:58PM
I believe in 1963 it was called Douglas Rocket to the Moon. Mission to Mars is in Epcot. - AKMouse  376.5 #363 12:06AM
Ahhh ok. I just remember being inside that round chamber and that the ride was sponsored by McDonnell Douglas which was the company my dad worked for. One of the few rides he ever went on with us! - MsStarlite  201.6 #1599 1:19AM

Retro Day: This is the cover of my Mom's program for her Grad Nite in 1967. Entertainment included Dobie Gray, The Aggregation, The Regents, and The Aubrey Twins. Some lucky Grad won a 1967 Mercury Cougar!
This is so awesome! I would have loved to see Dobie Gray! - matildamouse  196.4 #1674 2:37PM

Calling all lurkers!! Have you been a MW member for multiple months and have yet to make your presence known? Now is your chance! Today's get to know the lurkers question is: how many times have you been to Disneyland so far this year? Ready go!
I haven't gone to Disneyland but I've gone to knotts like 50+ times. - chris.  2507.1 #24 10:01PM

welcom3 lurkers!!! or watchers or what I really call you ---MW family we don't know yet!  One request, even if you are too shy to meetup or post, when you are at the parks, please post wait times, it helps everyone else and keeps MW the most accurate.  I met a lot of watchers at glow with the show, so many use the app but forget to post wait times so I thought I would remind everyone.  And at the next "event"  i plan on planning a "first time or shy person meet up." to help with the jitters!!!  Hope to meet you all sonn! - secretagentangel  659.2 #156 10:50PM

If you could taken one person to Disneyland (living or dead) who would you take and why? I would take Adolf Hitler. Strap him in a Small World boat and force him to ride till he got the point.
I would want to see DL through Walt's eyes. - sewedna  84.3 #3214 11:56PM

I would take my father. He passed away in 1959 when I was 5. He is the one who started our love of Disney. He and my mom took me and my sister to Disneyland in 1955 after it opened. We have gone every year, except when he passed, since then. I would love him to see how the park has changed and grown. - Diznimom  211.8 #1452 10:30AM

In 1961 there was a plan for a street off of Main Street called Liberty Street with Edison Square attached. I find it interesting that they printed these ideas and not all of them ended up taking place.
Would had been cool! But no room for parade storage! - azcam08  203.2 #1580 1:38PM
I like the generically named "street" lol - ladylikesdisney  921.5 #95 1:37PM
They did call it Main Street but the "Main" is on a flag on the other side of the street. You just can't see it in my photo. It does look funny though. - AKMouse  376.5 #363 1:57PM
Oh okay lol that's funny - ladylikesdisney  921.5 #95 2:03PM
This is a cool artifact! just curious if this is ur personal collection or from somewhere else. Cite ur resource please. Sorry cant help it...I'm a librarian! - PickyPicky  14.7 #5714 1:42PM
It is my family's personal collection. My mom has been collecting the souvenir maps since she was a child. She lived in CA and went on the second day DL was open. - AKMouse  376.5 #363 1:44PM
I have one of those maps! Once I dreamed about going to Dland and actually visited that area. - MelodyMouse  941.5 #92 2:07PM

Here was the plans for what is now New Orleans Square in 1961. No Pirates in the area or in the plans then and Haunted Mansion found a new location before it was built.
Interesting! Thanks for posting! - ladylikesdisney  921.5 #95 1:32PM
Nice map no bad edges or discoloration if that's a wall map and if it's yours I would frame it 61 map is worth lots - Singh2011  178.5 #1880 1:37PM
Yes. We have about 20 of them and this is the oldest. We take very good care of them. They will hopefully be passed down to the next generation of Disney lovers. - AKMouse  376.5 #363 1:39PM
That's great keep them all I say put under glass cause it keeps the folds flat an less likely to get worn ✨ - Singh2011  178.5 #1880 5:01PM
I have been trying to get one for months now even bidding up to 200 they had one signed by McKim for 1000 which if I had the money I would of bought it. Came with cert. of authenticity AwWw magical ✨✨✨ - Singh2011  178.5 #1880 5:03PM
