Thank you, ribidib! You are a class act! I am so happy I got to meet you and the other MWers at our Oz meetup. I think we need to do another one. There are so many quality people living up here and more I want to meet! Thanks to the rest of you, too. I have always loved taking pictures, ever since my mom gave me a hand me down camera that had one of those flash bulbs that you had to change out with every flash! I think I was 10 years old When I got my first Instamatic camera for Christmas, with that new fancy flashcube that would turn with each flash, so you could get four whole pictures before you had to change the cube! Then of course , there was the film cartridge that allowed you to take 12 whole pictures! 😂 Fast forward to today, and I am happy to say that I have over 7000 pictures on my iPhone camera that I have had for a little over three months. Eek! No. I am NOT obsessive! 😂 Most of the pictures are from Disneyland, where I have so many wonderful childhood memories and where I am happy to be making more with my own family today. So happy to share a little of that with you all here on MW, a wonderful community of Disney lovers who I am happy to have found! Thanks again!! I do hope to one day take a photography course and have a real grown up camera that I can learn to use like so many others on here. 😀 - meridafan1035.2 #83 5-7-13 1:54PMLike(8) Reply

Please add me. This is an awesome RAK, my husband left the army about a year ago,after being in for 10 years and 3 trips overseas. I am so blessed to have him home and I am proud of everything he and our fellow service members do to protect our country. Things have been hard since we left the army but the blessing has been that we were able to move to California and get APs and I have turned him into a disney lover. He started collecting pins our last trip so this would be perfect!! Thank you so much" - MrsGrumpy2002190.9 #1739 4-29-13 8:16PMLike(3) Reply

Some of my most vivid memories as a kid was walking around the crystal and glass shop on Main Street and being hypnotized by all the things in there. Just wanted to share a pic from this past weekend.
