Going back over your whole trip. Love it all.

I especially liked your tale of going to Disney World for the first time.

The original DisneyLand opened near Los Angeles in 1955. Like Eirik, I was 9 years old and could only dream of going there. On my 10th birthday my parents said we were going away for the weekend to visit relatives. We were driving down the highway and I saw the Matterhorn mountain off to the side. My heart skipped a beat but I knew we had other plans.

Of course, we turned into the massive parking lot and my fondest dreams became a reality. What a great birthday! Oh, to be a child again!

Thanks for the memories and for sharing your great journey with us.

what a great post to read and what a small world, after all!

in oct of ’71, i was in the air force and stationed ~80 miles from disney / orlando. my g.i. buddies and i were on a very tight budget and at 18 years of age, were still kids @ heart – every 3-day break we got, at least 1 of the days was spent @ disney.

when i went to work with you, i KNEW i’d seen you somewhere before(!) – you were that little norwegian kid on Small World 😉

looks like a great day, looking forward to seeing more pics and hearing more stories.

Sounds like a great day !

No need to excuse going to Disney World. It is authentic – authentic Disney !

Make sure you go to Epcot as well. Lots of rides and interesting things to see. But avoid the Melkesjokolade in the norwegian exhibition. They charge $10 for it…
