It is safe to say that we are all deeply affected by the cartoons we used to watch as kids.

My Love For Disneyland, Walt Disney, And Mickey Mouse Was Brought To Life! Done By Junior At Club Tattoo In Las Vegas!
MygrandsonscallmeNia 3 years ago
When I was around 5 yo, 1970. I loved Disney so much, my mom, bought me a record collection of All Disney stories. I played those all of the time, and watched Disney movies every Sunday night at 7 pm. I'm from Florida, and never got to go to Disney until I was 12 yo. It was to expensive just to up, and go. My friends, and I would go on concert night. Several famous bands would play for a one price pass. Fun times!
