We Did It!



I think our Disney craze is complete. This past weekend hubby and I bought the super deluxe premium passes to both Disneyland and Disney World. Now we can go to the parks 365 days of the this coming year! When we tell people about our purchase the first question they always ask is, "Wasn't that expensive?" To be honest, it was however, here is why we did it. We did it to save money. With our 6 days/7 nights Disney World vacation planned it would have cost about $320 per person for a 6 day park hopper ticket. And since we have been going to Disneyland every weekend we have been pondering the thought of buying an annual pass for Disneyland which goes for about $460 per person. When you add those two figures together its more than what we paid. Add in a screw up by Costco, cuz we bought some tickets to upgrade to our pass thus getting $100 gift certificates for free from Costco, we made out pretty good in the deal.

This past weekend we used our passes for the first time on May 1st. Each Sunday of the month there is a Vinylmation trading session inside Disneyland. We had never been so we got up at the crack of dawn and drove to Disney to be there at 8:30AM. The first thing we did with our pass, besides entering the park, was go to the yummy Disneyland Bakery and buy a big ole sticky bun with walnuts and syrup! The sweet taste of pure enjoyment was had for the low low cost of an ANNUAL PASS. We caught up with the traders but really it was all the same people we know (and they all have all the figures so its hard to trade with them) so it wasn't a terribly exciting trading session. I made about 10 trades and then hubby and I took off about 10:30am to walk around the park. But not before we discovered the gigantic corn dog truck!! Two of our trader friends were eating these corn dogs and I have to say I am not much for hot dogs but for some reason they looked absolutely delicious. They pointed me in the direction of the truck which had a line as long as a ride to buy corn dogs. I couldn't believe it. The corn dogs must be super good if there was a friggin huge line!! So while hubby put the plastic toys in the car I waited in line and got us two corn dogs. And the verdict? They were absolutely friggin fantastic. Until I got a stomach ache later. But oh well, that's the price you pay for being gluttonous.

After corn dog eating we walked around the park for about 2 hours. We had to leave somewhat early to be in the west side for dinner that night. All I can say, is that pass is worth it! We got 15% to 20% off on everything we bought that day! Bonus!

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
