As the mother of a 5 year old and a 7 year old, I did the UNTHINKABLE: I went to Disneyland without my children! What?! Before you judge me too harshly, it all came about because I went to the #WeAllGrow Summit in Long Beach , CA and one of the wonderful parts of this conference for Latinas in the digital space is that you can sign up for field trips and I happened to get a spot on the Disneyland field trip.
What was I supposed to do, not go? Not only did I go, I had a blast and here’s the thing: I am not a Disney fanatic. Nope, not at all. I watch the movies because my kids want to, but I’m a critic when I feel like criticism is needed, I’d like to see changes, I don’t buy the whole Disney mystique without questioning it, BUT when it comes to Disneyland I am a fan. I LOVE DISNEYLAND. I always have and I always will.
I grew up in southern California and trips to Disneyland were a part of my childhood. It’s pretty impossible to have a bad time at Disneyland so all of my memories of being there are wonderful. Going back as an adult I found that the child in me still loves her some Disneyland.
So if you are a person who isn’t particularly in love with all things Disney, I want you to know that it is possible that you may still LOVE Disneyland because that’s the kind of person that I am.

I didn’t get to go to Disneyland until I was an adult. It’s so much fun.

I am both, a Disney fan who loves Disneyland.
I have been to this Disneyland and it is so much fun! My son and boyfriend and his daughter had a blast!
I’ve been to Disney World TOO MANY times in my life…but I still want to try to get to Disneyland at some point.
We have never been huge Disney people but I do enjoy going from time to time and the most fun I have had has been going with my adult children or going alone several times! It is always a fun day at Disney parks.
I’ve been both as a child and an adult – and I’ve been without kids too!!
Good for you! It does look like you had a great time. I would go to Disneyland with kids, without kids, in a group or all by myself in a heartbeat! I grew up five miles from Disneyland although through my teen years it would be more accurate to say I grew up in Disneyland, I think I was there more than I was at my own home….lol
As a child I was in Walt Disney World and with my children later in Disneyland Paris. I still love it!
I am not A Disney fan either but I have a feeling Disneyland might just work for me

You’d really have to go out of your way to try and have a bad time.
Best part of Disneyland was experiencing it with you and the rest of the chicas. But really mostly with you 😉 fist bump
Love you, girl. Sending you love today and always. Don’t let a bump in the road get ya down, ok?
