My birthday was on Tuesday, and I decided to take advantage of Disney's offer of a free ticket on your birthday. Now, I knew when my niece wanted to go to Disneyland for Christmas that I wanted to go for my birthday, and then Disney offered this promotion, so I decided to get a season pass to Disneyland.
Now, when you get a premium season pass (no black out dates), then you have a few options for what you get. Since you don't need the ticket to get into the park, you can either get about four fast passes, get a ticket for later in the year, or get a gift card for the cost of a one park ticket. So that's what I did.
I went home to visit my parents on Saturday and had a little birthday party with my parents and my brother's family. It was fun to play with my nephews. It was just a quiet get together, but it was fun to be with my family. Then the next day it was off to Anaheim.
I have always wanted to go to Disneyland by myself. Not that I don't like going with my family, or with friends, but I always wanted to experience it on my own. Doing what I wanted to do, not running around if I didn't quite feel like it. And it was awesome! I decided to do a lot of rides and attractions I wouldn't usually get to do with others I go with. I went to Tom Sawyer Island, I rode on Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, I saw a performance of Billy Hill and the Hillbillies. I spent a little extra time to ride up front in the monorail and spent a lot of extra time to ride up front on the tender of the Disneyland Railroad. It was so much fun! I got to ride on whatever ride I wanted to.
I look forward to going with friends again soon, but would definitely love going by myself again. Now that I've been on everything I've wanted to go on (other than the Davy Crockett canoes, which I still haven't been on), the next time I go by myself will really be the time I can do whatever I want to do, with no restraints. Hopefully I'll have time to just sit down and listen to some of the much in New Orleans Square or Main Street.
It was a great birthday, and a time to think of some things on my own. You wouldn't think someone who lives by themselves would need that, but I did - free from work, church, or doggy responsibilities. Maybe in one of my next posts, I'll talk about my 'magical moment' at the end of my stay.
I love Tigger.......
...even though I look more like Winnie the Pooh. Oh bother!
