My dad says his dad
took him to Disneyland
in the 1950s. But
when they got there,
they discovered that
Disneyland was still
just orange groves.
So they had to turn back.

Then, twenty years on,
my dad took me to
Disneyland. And again—
just orange groves.
So we turned back.

Now, though,
all these years later,
I’m beginning to think
my family may not
have the correct address
.
Keep circulating the URL
Haha! Quite probably! 🍊🍊🍊
Thanks, Sadje!
You’re welcome
Hahaha. Orange groves are nice. Haha
They are though aren’t they? Thanks, Steve
I’ll take the orange groves!
Confidentially, I would too. Thanks, M
How odd that I had a similar experience, Geo. My father and I made several trips to Atlantis, but the tide was always in.
Blame it on the moon. And thanks, B
They say she’s a harsh mistress.
I hate it when that happens.
These days you can get into a driverless vehicle and say “orange groves” and there you are. Thanks, M.
;>) A faster and more efficient way to not get to Disneyland.
Thanks to three generations of Raymonds for making the Disney theme park in Anaheim a memorial to the orange groves of Southern California.
Walt always hated those orange groves. Thanks, E Sum!
Back in 1854, for his 17th birthday, Grover Cleveland’s dad took him to Disneyland. Grover was inspired by the impressive figures in the Hall of Presidents. “Hey, pops, orange ya gonna help me become president one o’ these days..?”
Hah! Thanks, David
:D :D :D So funny! Happy New Year, George! 🌟 🌟 🌟
You, too, mm. And thanks!
Hahahahahahapppy New Years!!!
Thanks, Bob! HNY!
I was not expecting that and got quite the little chuckle. Thank you
Thanks, Jay-lyn and Happy New Year!
You are most welcome! And Happy New Year to you as well.
Lol nope! Ahahahaha! Funny George!
Thanks, Carol!
Have a satisfying new year!
Thanks, Rugby And Happy New Year!
My parents took me to a trash heap where we watched someone (I think it was an uncle) do card tricks. They said it was Magic Mountain.
I bet it didn’t smell much different from an actual Six Flags. Thanks, Crow!
Haha! Maybe the dads should’ve stopped to ask for proper directions. Happy New Year, George! :)
“Any road will get your there eventually” was my dad’s philosophy. Thanks, Nancy and a belated Happy New Year to you, too.
Your ancestors should have invested in those orange groves back in the day. I did not get to Disneyland until I was 40 years old and by then the lines for an orangeade stretched all the way to San Francisco.
Hey Geoff! A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you. I hope you had a good holiday.
I visited the Poconos for the first time with nine other members of my family. It was enjoyable but I came home with a nasty cold which has slowed down my response times to the point where WordPress has put me on probation.
Must have been a wrong turn at Albuquerque! Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year Tref!
I did. We never stopped moving. It was tiring but fun. Hope yours was as well. Thanks, max
LOL! I wondered where this was going!
Thanks, freya!
😂😂😂 Did you get free oranges at least?
A trunkful. Thanks, Janny!
Haha. That’s awesome.
Thanks, Ilsa!
LA in the ’70s–orange groves (some were left?) disco, and smog. I remember it well!
That last great decade for Los Angeles. It has been one long downhill slide ever since. Thanks, S!
😆 🤣 😂
Thanks, 000!
