Disneyland in December

We only hit the park one time this December, mostly due to illness & scheduling. This trip is particularly unique because we actually sat and watched the Christmas parade. Little known fact about us… we have been to the park dozens of time but have yet to actually sit and watch any parade. Katie has been wanting to plan an entire trip around the parade since we first started going, but I always was against it. I mean, sitting on a curb for hours to reserve a spot does not sound like an ideal use for time at Disneyland. Regardless, this trip was the one.

Katie has always wanted to see the Christmas parade and this being potentially our last year in SoCal, I caved and we settled in on the curb, across the street from the Penny Arcade. While waiting, we met a couple who was from Oregon but used to live in Orange county. We talked for a good hour+ and they shared much of our likes/dislikes about the DLR experience. They were far more negative than us, something I didn’t think possible!

Once the parade started, we waived and cheered at just about everything that floated by. By the end, our rears were in pain from the concrete and legs asleep from the 3+ hours of reserving our sweet spots. We had dinner, hit a few of our favorite rides and headed for home. All in all, a good trip. 31 photos have been posted for your enjoyment over on our Flickr page.
