We made it to Disneyland for our 5th annual family vacation. We got annual passes through a special deal in California Costcos thanks to some help from 2 very special friends-Amanda & Belinda (thanks again!). We have wanted to upgrade our hopper passes for a couple visits now in order to get 2 years out of the passes but have never done it. Costco had a deal if you bought the Deluxe Annual Pass (the pass we'd need)you got a $50 gift card to spend in the parks so buying 4 passes got us $200 in gift cards. This became our lunch money all week. So my 2 wonderful friends picked up the passes for us when they went to CA a couple months ago. Our next trip is planned for October before these passes run out.
We had a blast-of course. It was nice to see the Christmas parades & snow but we enjoy the less crowded fall time better. Todd's mom met us out there for 4 days of our visit. Hannah has now gone on every ride because she was brave enough to try the Maliboomer this year & liked it. Joshua was much braver this year too except he waited till the last 2 days to get really brave. He likes all the mountains-especially Space Mountain. By our last day he was brave enough to try Tower of Terror & California Screamin'. He says he did not like those but maybe he'll try them again next year. He hated Mulholland Madness last year but loved it this year so there's still chance. I do not prefer CA Screamin so I was slightly disappointed when he was tall enough to ride & I had to go too. I can't let a 5 year old be braver than me. I actually like every part of that coaster except the upside down part. Everyone says it's so quick but it seems like forever to me.
