Grace and I went to Disneyland this Saturday.
Yes, Disneyland.
We hit all the usual rides including the new Space Mountain (awesome) and the last new ride to be added, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters at a rate of high efficiency, blasting through the smaller rides in the early afternoon until mid-evening while nabbing up fastpasses and then jumping on all the best rides in the evening with those same passes in tow. Running from one ride to the other, we did manage to also hit the fry truck and the dinner of all dinners at Disneyland, the deep-fried turkey leg. Delicious.
It was too much fun, really, as when we got back to our humble apartment, we immediately conked out from exhaustion. I think this is where I realize, we are getting older, at least older to the point where we can't spend the entire day at the park.
It's sad in a way, but I don't take the park for granted at all. Even though we had a few run-ins with people not knowing the concept of personal space, it was a great day. It brought back memories of a Thursday night with nothing else to do but take advantage of the annual pass in my pocket. I got to know the ins and outs of the park, memorize the fastest way to get to certain places during the peak hours and most importantly, memorize where the bathrooms are. Not to mention the little hidden aspects of Disneyland privy to only the minds of filthy teenagers. Who remember's Walt's Wood?
Anyhow, we've considered buying annual passes again for this year, but it's much harder to get there than it was when I was only living 15 minutes away. We always have so much fun though so maybe it's time. Pays for itself in only 6 measly visits!
So, if anyone hasn't been to Disneyland in a while, it's time to go back. If anything, go back for the Turkey leg and the new Space Mountain. You will not be disappointed.

i love disneyland... i wish i could have an annual pass and just go in whenever the mood struck.
An Annual Pass is a great investment, at least for those with the time and with the location. Who wouldn't want to be able to get turkey leg for dinner whenever you felt like it?
