★★★★ · Disneyland was meh, but Puyallup.. now there was a time! · Spuzz · 2020-05-17
More home movies! It seems this looks shot by the same people that shot some others on this site. I know that's vague lol. Anyways, ghost towns are visited, buffalo are seen, and yes, a trip to Disneyland! Not that busy.. Not that many rides, I don't know how built up the place was during this visit, but no existance of Tomorrowland. After that, the Puyallup fair! Lots more fun and scary rides there. Then more animal visiting and a trip to Reno, which looked fun!
