I, too, would have about to embark on what I assumed would be crappy 30's (but they turned out great!)
I don't remember anything else specifically. I must have gone to Epcot, 'cause I was doing that every year in the 80's. I loved seeing Little Mermaid, perhaps more than any subsequent Disney animated feature - because (a) it was the one that surprised me by far from sucking and (b) it was the last one to play on the huge screen in the Cinerama Dome before Disney took over the El Capitan in Hollywood.
Other than that, I don't remember anything specific about 1989. That means nothing terribly sucky happened ... and for that, I am grateful.
