Done with Disneyland and Point Me to Where the Fun is At

The only way to DO Disneyland is to shell out bucketloads of money. It is not the Disneyland of my youth. I purchased the 3-day California resident pass. There was no dedicated shuttle from my hotel to the main gate so I walked the 20 minute walk one way into the park. 

I arrived inside the main park at 11:00 a.m. THAT is precisely when they open the main park up to those who had been at the Adventure park. Elbow to elbow I made my way over to New Orleans square so I could have a Monte Cristo sandwich for lunch. 

I did not buy any extra passes or Magic Keys. The Haunted Mansion had a relatively short wait of 40 minutes. That ride broke down twice while I was on it. You could feel it grinding around. 

That was the extent of my Disneyland day. One would think with the higher ticket prices there would be a limit to attendees. Nope. People just keep pouring in and not just a few people, a lot of people! 

My return from Anaheim meant a continued focus on my vegetable garden. Because of some recent rains, I was able to pull a few more stubborn weeds in the garden area. 

On the cosplay Final Fantasy front, I had a partial costume prepared but misplaced pieces of it in my move. Seems I will have a few years to perfect that cosplay if I get to attend the festival again. 

I am on the hunt for other fun conventions and get togethers. Planning a trip for this fall - destination unknown.
