And as for the TOD:
It is interesting, because I very quickly realized that our HHW family is definitely divided into two groups depending on birthdays....BDL, and PDL. I am of the "before DisneyLand" generation, and so the only big deal (we thought) was Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park. And believe me, it wasn't the Knott's that you see today; it was very small, basically the large family-style restaurant for chicken dinners, and a very small "old west street" where you could pan for gold. I think there was one or two little "kiddie ride" things, like an old train or something.
Those in the "post DisneyLand" generation have many more amusement park things to remember and choose from.
But the fun thing was, I actually watched the process of all of the orange groves being removed and the land leveled and worked on for the Disney park. But a fence went up all around the property, and for quite a while Walt D. kept the whole project very hush hush. We had no idea what could possibly be planned that would use up that much space!
