I grew up going to DL since I had two aunts and a cousin who worked there throughout the years. But it's funny, they never seemed to have any "E" tickets left for my sister and I!!
My wife and I took 4 of our 5 kids (now 9 thru 18) to DL and Californa Adventure the week of Labor Day, and had a great time. The last time we took them all they were 1-year-old to 10-years-old!
My (now) 18-year-old (senior in high school) has always dreamed of working for Disney, though the reality of how much it will cost to live in LA and how much college will be is sinking in and he's vacillating on just what he's going to do.
