GETTING THE MOST OUT OF DISNEYLAND

Maintaining the joys of childhood

Disneyland - time = for
some observations on
“when, where and how” to
get the most out of a visit to
Disney's kingdom.

When we took the kids -
about eight years ago - we
went in July. Idiocy! The
temperature was a blistering
90, the park was so crowded
that we queued = for
everything, our youngest
was only five and got so
fagged-out that I rented a
stroller for her and wheeled
her around for the last part
of the first day.

My feet hurt, my ears
were- ringing with the
screams of ured kids and all
1 really fancied was a cool
shower, a cooler drnk and
ten hours sleep.

In early December, the
crowd isn't. You don't have
10 wait for anything, the
cooler days make walking
comfortable and if you're
evar going to enjoy
Disnevland. the winter is the
ume to dott

Avoid the obvious school
holidays - Christmas, spring
break and summer vacation.
Go between mid-October
and mid-March. I've yanked
my kids out of school to
iravel many times and have
vet to find them suffering
scholasucally from an un-
scheduled break.

When I travel with kids, I
prefer a condominium
arrangement where 1 can
shovel food into them at
times that are convenient to

me. Disneyland is the one
exception.
If - and that’s a mighty big

IF - I could afford the
Disneyland Hotel, ‘that’s
where I'd

go for a couple of days while
we took in the sights. The
big “plus” is the monorail
that runs from the hotel to
the park.

If your kids -are old
enough to turn loose on the
general public, they can flit
back and forth between
home base and Disneyland
at will. If Mom and Dad
have had the biscuit, they

can park in the bar right by
the hotel-end of the train.

The food in Disneyland is
cheap, and although the
park closes at six p.m., you
can eat all your meals there -
or at least, feed all your little
savages - perhaps saving
dinner for adults until later.
The hotel has what is called
“Restaurant Row” where
you should be able to find
something that appeals to
you. *

Day passes are available
and are a terrific value. I
can't answer to it but I think
it cost us over $20 per person

- to buy books of tickets eight

years ago. Now, you can buy
a pass that starts at ap-
proximately $11! for adults
and is scaled down for kids.
One of the few things in life
that is cheaper today.

You will want to wear
your comfiest old flat shoes.
Dispose of your tight pants
and skinny héels. One of
those jackets that crunches-
up into a pouch on your belt
is the best coverup.

And now a word about
“Space Mountain.” No I
didnt ride it - and if I ever
do, feel free to call the
doctor. THIS RIDE IS
SUITABLE ONLY FOR
KIDS OVER 10, STUNT
PERSONS AND CER-
TIFIABLE MANIACS. |!
talked with one of the
executives of Disneyland
about Space Mountain. “It
gives me the dry heaves!” he
said.

Videotaping for insurance

NEW YORK (UPI) - An
insurance trade association
says home video tape
systems can be used to in-
ventory the contents of your
home or apartment.

A six-hour cassette tape 1s
comparable to thousands of
shdes or color photographs
and takes much less storage

space, according to the

“The worst mde was the

Now, a word about one of
the most exclusive private
clubs in the world.

Ever hear about “Club

the entrance to the “Pirates
of the Caribbean” is a door
marked “33.” You ring a bell
to enter. No, not just
anyone. You must be a card-

only place in the Disneyland

to buy a drink or get a
gourmet meal.

To join, you wait about
two years. Then you pay a
