32. the only time I ever went to Disneyland I was refused entry

Wed Mar 15, 2017, 02:31 PM

Mar 2017

in the late 70s.
Security said my Irish girlfriend's "short shorts were too short".
They said we should respect the morals of the country we were in (she was in the local Mickey Mouse club on local TV when she was a kid )
She had only just bought them the day before in LA.
So I've never been to any Disney attraction.
Never bothered me but that bus trip there and back isn't much fun.
