Growing up in Southern California opened up a wide variety of recreational possibilities. But the Disneyland experience is one of the most comfortable experiences my parents and I had with him. Just like today, 1970s Disney never gets boring and is the true pinnacle of memorable family experiences.
For my dad’s birthday in 2012, I surprised both my mom and dad with a vacation to Walt Disney World. This is a place he’s always wanted to visit, but the timing hasn’t worked out over the past few years.Needless to say, he under I was impressed when I visited all the theme parks at Walt Disney World during my five day vacation. Conclusion: No one knows what will happen tomorrow. My father passed away and while my mother and I are still saddened, I often think about the fun, joy and togetherness we experienced during my father’s surprise birthday vacation.
