I agree with GC, a trip to the park is a necessity!

But, you just have to admire and pay some recognition to the fact that the love for Disneyland is so strong, even 21 years later!!

Do you dance when the commercial comes on the telly? {if it does in your area...} I do!!!

(I'm excluding shooting the red carpet for Pirates 3 since my time in the park was completely limited to a 1.5 square foot spot on Main Street).

I understand your exclusion, but you specify "in". Have you been to Downtown Disney or DCA since that day 14 months ago?

No, the last MouseAdventure I was present for was the last time, other than shooting the Pirates 3 red carpet (which involved no actual park seeing) that I was in the Disneyland Resort area. In fact, now that I think about it, it was the last time I was in Orange or LA counties (I was in Riverside County last week and immediately began driving to Palm Springs).

Stepping out of my primary roles at MousePlanet gave freedom for my extreme Disneyland burn-out to express itself. Even after this amount of time I find I still have no interest in going to the park. Maybe I'll wait for the 60th but I imagine a MouseAdventure will fit into my work schedule before then (not that those provide any time to actually visit the park in a fun way).

I've been to WDW twice in that window of time. The first time we got there and realized we had no interest in going to the parks so we did other things for three days instead. We went to the parks again in late October but that was more about friends than the parks, if it had just been the two of us I think we might have canceled the trip.

I'll probably be visiting DLP next fall as part of a much longer Europe trip and that will have the thrill of newness but otherwise at the moment I think whatever part of me enjoyed the parks for themselves (and not just as a place where I saw friends) has been bludgeoned to death through overexposure (it takes a lot of energy to not only know, but also have to care that four light poles in Tomorrowland have been painted with a new shade). Hopefully it regrows at some point. After making that 800 mile round trip drive a 6-10 times a year for almost seven years, it has been quite the change.

I saw the first and second stage on Saturday. I love it.

LoT Christmas meet sounds fun!

[Disneyphile]

I'd love a meet. All decked out in our winter swank, and then finishing the night with a nice buttered rum or cocoa at Hearthstone...
