Papa's Oo-De-Lally Diaries
My name is Papa John. I am the father of five of the best children in the world. I am a Florida native, but moved away before returning when I was in high school. I first visited Walt Disney World in 1975, but did not return again until the mid 80's and high school. In the fall of 1992, I visited Disney World for the first time as a Dad, and seeing the World through the eyes of my three year old daughter hooked me on Disney forever. And now all five of my children are Disney Fanatics. And all my grandchildren. This is my record of Disney trips and the eyes of amazement we too often forget. This is me "Reminiscin', This n'-thattin', havin' such a good time. Oo-de-lally, golly what a day!"
