Growing Up “Disney”

When I was young girl (ages 2-8) my family lived in Garden Grove, right down the street from Disneyland.  I grew up loving all things Disney: Disneyland, Disney Movies, and Disney books.  My favorite book (and I still have it in my office) was Cinderella.  The binding is frayed from so many readings – but I still occasionally glance through it and re-live my childhood. 

So I was very excited that the new Toy Story movie was released last week.  Having read the “Toy Story” books to my nephews – I have been waiting impatiently until they visit soon so I can take them to see the movie.  

Yesterday I was speaking to a girlfriend (her kids are now teenagers) and she said she saw the movie on Friday.  Did her teenage kids go with her to see the movie?  Nope – she and her husband went – and she said most of the audience were adults – without kids!  Now – they were at an evening showing of the movie, but I guess you are never too old for Disney.
