I had so much fun at Disneyland.  We rode all the rides we could or wanted to ride then we went and saw the free things like "America the Beautiful".  It's a tour of America in a panoramic view.   The people that did this film took 9 cameras and put them on a platform so you can see where you're going and also where you had been.  It was really fascinating.  I will write some more soon.

When Disneyland first opened you paid a fee of $1.00 to get in, but if you wanted to go on a ride, you needed to purchase a ticket for the price of that ride.
