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!
