Waiting on a Parade

One of the better decisions we made this year was to get annual passes to Disneyland.  At first we were worried that we wouldn't get our money's worth out of it.  As the months rolled by, however, we realized that we were going regularly.  The bigger benefit of the passes though was the ability to enjoy ourselves more when we were at the park.  We spent one day just playing in Toontown.  We spent another day with just the girls, doing any/everything princess.  We got to ride the big rides on days when no one else was there and then just enjoy the parades and big events if we were there on a day with a big crowd.  The lack of pressure to fit the entire park into one or two days made every day that we visited much more enjoyable.  Here we are, last June, with some friends, waiting on the Pixar parade in California Adventure.  Just enjoying our time together.
