D is for Disneyland!
July 17 is the 63 anniversary of Disneyland's opening day. This Disney loving librarian is planning on celebrating and won't be the only one either; it will probably be super crowded, and there will be lots of other pass holders eager to commemorate the day.
A visit to Disneyland holds many memories for Los Angelenos. For me, it stirs fond recollections of my childhood growing up in Southern California. My family went every year on "company night." Many corporations would rent out Disneyland for their employees to enjoy the park without having to use the infamous ticket booklet filled with A-E tickets. My sister and I would run from ride to ride with my parents trailing behind. Nowadays, I go for the afternoon, or dinner with friends [giant turkey leg!], ride a few rides and go home. If I'm meeting other librarians, we'll discuss books and library life, or play a photo treasure hunt of looking for all the book displays.
If you plan on going it alone, or just hate being bored waiting in line, download a supply of e-books and comics from the library. Reading is a great way to pass the time in line. Yes, reading...at Disneyland!
