For its 50th anniversary of operation, Disneyland is billed as the Happiest Homecoming on Earth. Having spent several days there with my son Kevin, daughter-in-law Deanne and grandkids Jared and Kayla, I have to admit it is a happy place and much to do and see and multi rides to try but for this ole gal all that walking and standing in line at times didn't make me look like the picture of happiness!
Children have no fear and I think J and K went on every ride they were eligible to get on.
