My First Real Memories of Disneyland

I was young. Very young. Maybe 4 or 5? I was at Disneyland with my parents.  My dad was taking me on Dumbo.  As a young child I remember loving even the scary rides, but this one ride has a particular memory.  It was the day I met Lou Ferigno, aka The Incredible Hulk.  I am sure he was there with his kids, as he was in line for Dumbo as well.  My dad is a chatter, and probably said more than he should to him.  I don't really remember that much more from that day.  But it's something I'll always remember because it was at Disneyland.

Flash forward a few years.  I was a teenager by this point, and by now I was going to Disneyland with my best friend and her family as well.  We had all been in the park all day when our parents all wanted to do a little shopping.  Well where does a kid go in Disneyland Main Street to ditch the parents? The Magic Shop.  They have all the best of the worst tricks, and my heart.  This trip we stopped in, and the shop was totally crowded. No one could get in, so we tried to find out why!  It turns our Neil Patrick Harris was in the park, visiting HIS favorite store!  After a few minutes he came outside with a bunch of the tricks from the store, and started doing card tricks.  We were stoked. We were in the front of everything happening and then he chose ME to pick a card!  I was so nervous, but it was so much fun.  He was very down to earth, and friendly.  He never acted like a celebrity.  He was just a kid himself, having fun in Disneyland.

These are the types of things I love about the Park.  You can run into hollywood celebrities and they are just real people when they are at Disneyland!  Disney creates these memories that we can share and keep forever.  The rest of this blog will try to be about the things I love in Disneyland, California Adventure, and the areas surrounding the parks.  I will answer questions, and I will keep you up to date!!
