Looking at these photos of sleek, sophisticated Blake Lively dressed in a gown fit for a queen, it’s no surprise to find out that the Gossip Girl actress claims she grew up in Disneyland. She explains, “My mom would take me there twice a week. I did well in school, so I guess my mom just wanted to have some extra time to bond with me.”

In fact, her first memory is filled with people dressed in Disney character costumes. Blake remembers, “Oh, geez, I remember I was about 3 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.”

Wow. Sounds like a fun frat party.
