Actress Blake Lively's childhood memories are filled with happy thoughts of Disneyland - because her mother would take her to the theme park twice a week.

The Gossip Girl star, 22, grew up in Los Angeles and admits she spent a big chunk of her youth at the California kids' haven, spending hours and hours in the resort every week.

She tells Marie Claire magazine, "I remember I was about three years old, and I woke up - we were staying at Disneyland. I was in a little pink silk bed, and there were Mickey and Donald and Goofy looking down at me. It was the most exciting place in the world. I kind of feel like I grew up at Disneyland.

"My mum would take me there twice a week. I did well in school, so I guess my mum just wanted to have some extra time to bond with me. Sometimes, when I was older, she'd keep me out till one in the morning." »
