It's too bad we don't all go to the Park anymore.

Not because I miss Disneyland, per se. But because we don't hang out in a group nearly as much as we used. I guess time marches on, but this is sad. And, though we got bored of it, the Park and DTD and the Grand Cal lobby are just much better public hang-out spaces than the local mall or some such.

Winter just ended, and it's the first year we didn't try to spice up the normally slow social season with a formal Swanking or two.


I'm glad the Lashes will inspire some big get-togethers coming up ... but otherwise I'm a little whistful about the route time is marching along for the peeps of the LoT.

Damn: you just reminded me that I was going to include a "Sliver Pass" category.


Is there such a thing as a Gold Pass?

I was thinking the same thing

Yes there is, and it is a thing of wonder.

(A friend of mine just got his, he's been with the company for 35 years)

We've got premiums and have, according to the stack of parking thingies, been to the parks an average of once a week since we moved down here.

Yeah, Kevy, no category for the CMs? WTF! ;)

Functionally I guess we could call them "premium" passes...

SoCal, and the only reason we renewed when we did was that we had to visit the park with GD's sister. It was the day after ours expired.

I do not go often for a very simple reason. I'm bored of it.

Whenever I ponder going I think "what will I do there?" After our last time when the line for TSMM was an hour long and we skipped it, it became apparent that there's no reason for me to attend. I have the place memorized. I'd rather do pretty much anything else, 99% of the time.

I still see swankers regularly, so I have no issues with letting go.




Oh, and we are still attending MA, and it would be hard to let go of that. That would probably be our very last thing to drop regarding the park.

Premium. I haven't used it as much the past few years but I like the convenience of not having to think about whether it's a blackout day or not. When I was a kid we had maybe one visit a year and it still feels like a fabulous luxury to be able to go whenever I want. Lately I usually go on Saturday nights to dance to Stompy Jones so blackout dates would impact my fun.

I also miss that we don't get together at the parks so often these days.

Add my voice to those lamenting our regular park meets.

I think I enjoy the Jazz Kitchen more than I do Disneyland.

But I've had Disneyland "memorized" since before most of you were born. I get bored of it quite regularly ... and actually let my AP lapse for a 3-year period just before I met most of you. It was the best thing I ever did, considering I enjoyed for a good spell with the LoT gang afterwards.


I'm pretty bored with it again. But if I have soup, I like to be able to park for free and go in the Park for a single attraction and a look around.


I just wish we had replaced The Resort with Something Else. And I think the reason we stuck with it even as long as we did is there's nothing else exactly that hangoutable on a repeating basis.


Oh well.


I'll likely go while K!'s in town in a couple of weeks, then Lashvisit, then MA, and I think I'm waaaaay overdue for Soup Kitchen with Isaac, so I just might be visiting the Park as much in the next month as I have the entire first 11 months of this year's AP. Heheh. :D
