I’ll miss you, Flik’s Flyers!<\/em><\/p>\n Walt Disney once said that Disneyland<\/a> would never be completed as long as there was imagination left in the world. And Marty Sklar famously reminded us that it\u2019s not a museum. It\u2019s natural that changes will come to the Happiest Place on Earth, and while I always look forward to the new, sometimes I do mourn what we lose.<\/p>\n Details like these made the land so much fun!<\/em><\/p>\n I am a huge Marvel fan, so I\u2019m very excited about the new Marvel themed area coming to California Adventure<\/a>. But in order to get it, we have to say goodbye to a bug\u2019s land.<\/p>\n I have many happy memories of this land, many of them formed when my daughter was in preschool and we were Annual Passholders. We\u2019d make the sometimes horrific drive from Los Angeles to Anaheim to spend several hours in the park and try to get on the road before rush hour traffic.<\/p>\n Can’t tell whose smile is bigger, hers or mine!<\/em><\/p>\n A bug\u2019s land was one of our favorite places. I loved to watch my daughter\u2019s face light up when we flew on Flik\u2019s Flyers. She always wanted to ride in the animal cracker box, and when she was old enough to read, she laughed out loud reading the nutritional contents on the large container in the middle. (100% of your recommended daily allowance of fun!)<\/p>\n She\u2019d run through Princess Dot\u2019s Puddle Park until she was soaked, and I\u2019d have to decide if it was worth it to change her clothes or just let the California sun do its business. The sun usually won.<\/p>\n A mother-daughter ride on Francis’s Ladybug Boogie<\/em><\/p>\n We\u2019d spin on Francis\u2019s Ladybug Boogie, sometimes insisting that one of her stuffed animals wanted a turn. We\u2019d always joke about which ladybug we\u2019d want to ride since they all looked the same!<\/p>\n She was overjoyed when she was finally big enough to drive one of the Tuck and Roll\u2019s Drive \u2018Em Buggies. When we\u2019d visit the parks with her grandparents, she would try her hardest to ram into Grandpa\u2019s bug!<\/p>\n But I\u2019m most sentimental about Heimlich\u2019s Chew Chew Train, because this is the very first ride my daughter ever went on. It was her first birthday, and we were spending the night in the Disneyland Hotel, and visiting each park for a day. I wore her in my baby carrier so she was facing forward, and she gazed at all the bright colors. I don\u2019t know if she got the joke when Heimlich talked about carrots being good for his eyes, but I know I\u2019ll cherish that memory forever.<\/p>\n Will you miss a bug’s land?
