I say yes to the key. There will be enough LoT security around to ensure that nothing happens to you or the key. We'll all be scrambling to take a look at it!

Let your freak flag fly, Mo'. And if you lose the key, so what? It will have at least returned home again. It served its purpose and besides, the only thing the key does at home is gather dust.

Frankly, Sinatra, you should have traded the key in for the lifetime pass a long time ago. Consider all the money you would saved. Consider the money you will continue to save. Mercy! Do you think your grandmother would be happy to see you fritter* away you hard earned cash when she had all ready given you the key to freedom? I wish my grandmother would have given me the key to freedom. My grandmother slapped a box of ciggies in my lap and said, "Smoke up, Johnny!"

Why do so you suppose she gave you the key in the first place? So that you may be sentimental? Bah! She gave it to you to enjoy! Only she didn't tell you this because you were supposed to figure it out for yourself. But you didn't. So be thankful that I am here. That's right! Have no fear ... Tref is here. Hear me now and understand me later, life's so-called treasures are not to be passed on but to be enjoyed! Life is for the living! Go, sport, go!

But listen up and listen up good, cause I am only going to say this once and then I am going to say it once more ... if'n I sees ya. I'm-a gonna take it! Then the key will be mine and I will have a lifetime pass to Disneyland!

My God, it is going to be beautiful ...

I say go for it. I suggest perhaps tying it around your neck, then getting one of those plastic nametag holders with a neckstrap and putting the key in that aswell. That way, it's attatched to two necklaces, and protected from the elements. You may want to tape the plastic nametag holder to your shirt also, for even more protection.

Good Lord, what would be the point? I say, tape it to your forehead!

Tref: That is the BEST post I've read all day (and it's still morning, too!). I love your wit and phrasing.

It's a hard decision: Keep something from Disneyland's opening day passed down from your grandmother or exchange it for a lifetime pass? If it's a lifetime PREMIUM pass, think of the lifelong savings: $329 Premium AP at current price x 10 years = saving $3,290, 20 years = saving $6,580, 30 years = saving $9,870.

Tref: good luck finding someone that remembers it!

By the way, my grandmother died well before I was born.

But getting back to the key... the year it was given to me, I tried to use it, and after about an hour and them finding some VP that had been around long enough to remember it, they said I'd have to give up the key for the pass. Never going to happen, because, IMHO, the key is MORE valuable than the monetary value of a lifetime pass. That's its BASE value. Add to that the novelty of it being from 7/17/55, AND the fact that, for me, it's a family heirloom, and it's worth far more than just the base value.

By the way, by virtue of ebay and people who don't know what they have, we actually acquired a second key (my mom bought it, because the bidding went beyond what I could afford).

mousepod · 07-13-2005, 11:01 AM

You've answered your own question! Wear your mom's key!

innerSpaceman · 07-13-2005, 11:27 AM

And the ultimate answer is sell one at real auction (Sotheby's, not ebay) and reap the just rewards, which will include funds for lifetime Disneyland admission. The other key should mostly be kept in the laser-and-superhero-guarded glass case, but should absolutely be brought to Disneyland's birthday in some fashion.

If you can't bear to wear it on heavy chain among the throngs visiting Disney on the 17th, then - by all that is holy - at the very least bring it to the Swank Party on Friday (late and after 'Wicked' if need be) so that we can worship and adore, prostrate ourselves and ritualize the most freaking amazing Disneyland guest artifact in all of human history.

That is so cool that you that key. I think it would be swanky if you brought with you. My only fear is that since it's now on the message boards someone may know you have it and might try to pilfer it from you. Just make sure you have a lot of the members of the Lounge of Tomorrow Security Task Force surrounding you.
