Newbie to Disney Cali parks/trip in 5 days!-questions

[Girimama33]

Hahahahaha...interesting discussion...as a native Midwesterner who spent many years in California, now live in the Rockies...
When going east: "take 76 to 80"
In town: "take I-25, take I-70"
When in CA: "take THE 405, THE 5, THE 101"

Weird little colloquialisms we have, aren't they? But, never, ever have I said to someone that I was going to "Cali"....

Aurora64, I hope you have a wonderful trip and enjoy the park to its fullest! Can't wait for a trip report!

I would say Southern CA uses the THE before the freeway #. I was born and raised in Anaheim and when I moved to the bay area, I got a lot of comments and odd looks about my use of THE before the freeway #.

Never thought in a million years I would stir up so much debate. Being from Ohio, I’m definitely not up on the California colloquialisms!

No problemo, Aurora!

Got any more Disneyland planning questions?

That is the best part of a message board, you never know where the discussion might lead. Hope you don't mind us all derailing your thread. If you have any other questions please be sure to ask. Maybe we will get this thread back on track.
