My favorite Disney thing to do is the opposite of most people. It's to experience something new, something I've never done there before. The first year or two that I had a pass was easy. I had gone to Disneyland a hundred times and didn't even know that Story Book boats or Casey Jones train was even there! We dashed from E ticket to E ticket, ignoring some of the C rides. Then after I got to know every inch of the park, I waited for new attractions, starting with Indy.

Then as a new movie would come out, we'd see the movie, then go to the park to see the parade ( Alladin, Lion King), stage play (Beauty & the Beast, Pocahontas), or window display on Main Street.

Other treats like going on a rainy day, or doing the rope drop, or watching the firewoorks from the outside stares of the Mickey & friends parking structure corner closest to where they are shot off is great. Hanging out in off the beaten path places like the far end of Hungry Bear under the balcony and watch the river traffic go by that makes it feel like you have a special place is cool as well.

Then came the whole new gate with DCA. And it's re-launch. There is so many new things to experience there all of the time. My next one is to see the Oz 4 D preview in the tough to be a bug theater. The last one was the Golden Horseshoe review.

I use to love to close the park, and still can. But it is getting harder as I get older.

Although I always say goodby to Walt on the way out, to the light in the window of his appartment.
