\"\"Sarah over at Magical Days with the Mouse<\/a> has come up with a great way for the Disney blogging community to share some of their favorite Disney memories… Flashback Friday. It’s a great bloghop that I have been following for some time, so I am super excited to start a series of vintage blogs each Friday and link up with others in the community doing the same.<\/p>\n

I recently ingested all of my home video onto my computer from my early trips to Disneyland (20+ years ago) and I’m so excited to share video clips and pictures through the Flashback Friday forum.<\/p>\n

\"Brer<\/a>For my inaugural post I just wanted to share a quick picture of my very first character encounter in Disneyland. In March of 1990, my Mom, my Grandma, and I traveled to Disneyland for their 35th Anniversary and my first ever Disney vacation. I have amazingly vivid memories of this trip given that I was only eight, but when I was watching back the video, I was surprised to see that the very first Disney character I ever met “in person” was none other than… B’rer Fox! So strange, I think! These days, it’s not terribly common to see any of the Song of the South<\/em> characters roaming the parks, but at a Walt Disney Travel exclusive “Early Bird Breakfast” with the characters, the first one I ran into was, in fact, B’rer Fox. And, I was apparently quite the hugger (as I still am, I suppose \ud83d\ude09 ) because as soon as I saw him, I engulfed B’rer Fox in a big bear hug. It was a fun moment for me to reflect on now, although I can’t say as if it particularly stood out to me then, as I definitely didn’t remember it.<\/p>\n

Thanks for visiting Rays of Disneyland for my very first Flashback Friday! Be sure to come back next week as I share more of my earliest Disneyland memories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
