Expired


We splurged last year on something I never thought I would own in my life: 5 Disneyland Annual Passes, one for each member of our family. Spending more than $700 when Harland had been laid off 6 weeks earlier, probably not the most sound financial decision, but in the long run...brilliant! He was home all the time. We went with friends who visited from out of town, when we had a day off, for birthdays, when we did not have a day off, with grandparents, with neighbors, for Emma's choir concert! (below at Carnation Plaza)

....basically any time we could get away with it. We went so often that we didn't even take pictures half the time (some might call that blasphemy). The last time we went Dedan rolled his eyes and asked, "Again?"
Last Tuesday afternoon, Harland looked at me and said, "A little piece of me died today."
With great concern I responded, "What happened?!"
"Our Disneyland passes expired today."
*sigh*

That is a sad day but it sounds like you didn't waste a a day with those passes. There was many great memories at Disneyland and maybe one day you'll have passes again. :)

At least you made the very most of those passes! Just think how much you would have paid without those golden tickets! We had passes for 2 years and it was sad when it ended. Maybe next year ...
