My sister Ashley was in town, so I finally opted to take Scout to Disneyland. It was going to be his first trip, so my mom made the trek to see Scout in all of his glory. Because we make an annual trip with the whole fam, and will be back in the spring, I decided that financially it would be smart to get a season pass. I was very hesitant to do so since we usually go in to Club 33 and have a delicious lunch while getting in to both parks free, but I figured that the nasty park food will have to do for this year. Moving on…….We headed down, and I had high hopes. We got there around 11:00am. It was very empty, and the weather was perfect. Scout seemed to have had a fine time, but I was dying by the time we were pushing 3:00. By then, I was READY to scram. I didn’t want to ruin everyone else’s fun, so I stayed quiet, but I started getting the glances from my mom, and knew we were in sync. I just have to think that it is because Scout isn’t old enouogh to ride the fun rides, or because there were only a handful of us compared to the usual 25+?!?
The part I don’t get……who in their right mind would want to spend more than one day a year there? I can only imagine the $$$ Disney is making off of season passes that only get used once. A few years back, Brett got season passes for all of their boys, and by the end of the day, returned them for a refund….and I totally get it! Anyway, Scout really enjoyed being with his cousins, could have done without the nasty food we ate there, and was probably a wash on the whole “Happiest Place On Earth.” And the fact that my sister who was in town went three days in a row……what is she…..CRAZY?!
The up side to the day was we spotted Scout’s name on the Nemo submarine. We also realized that my mom has a secret admirer on the Jungle Cruise.
