Since we live away from our extended family, we needed to have our own traditions that we could do together. Each year that we've had Disney passes, we've made it a point to nestle into the crowds and watch the parade, play in the foam snow, and enjoy the Christmas fireworks. We went last Wednesday evening before our passes expired.
One year when the boys were quite small, I misread the blockout dates. We arrived at the gates and learned that it would have cost an extra $85 with our passes to get in. We didn't have the money and I was crushed. Instead we parked over at the Disneyland Hotel and were able to visit with Santa. We walked through the decorated Downtown Disney and the boys got to buy Buzz Lightyear spinners at the gift shop. The kids were so excited that we found a THIRD Disneyland park (ie. the Disneyland Hotel). I NEVER made that mistake again.
We love this parade.
Thanks for letting me feel like I was there!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are getting me SO excited for Disney! We leave for Hong Kong today, and will spend our last two days at Disney. Unfortunately, most of the Christmas stuff will probably be down, but we'll enjoy it still, no doubt! Thanks for all the great pics!
