Old Habits

To treat myself for 1) fulfilling my goal of getting something published and 2) surviving my first book signing, I treated myself to something that would fill a gaping hole that appeared a little over a year ago. (Get your minds out of the gutter!!) I renewed my Disneyland Annual Pass. Yes, it's been over a year since I last passed through the venerable gates of the Haus of Maus, and thanks to one of my tax refunds being deposited, I caved and bought a new pass. And it felt as though I hadn't missed anything -- well, except for all the construction. The same rides and attractions, the same overpriced food, the same hordes of people. It was like saying hello to an old friend.

Of course, it also allowed me to go wild checking in on foursquare. Downtown Disney, most of the attractions and restaurants, and when I first set foot in Town Square and checked in, I earned a nifty little badge from The Ellen DeGeneres Show. I wasn't expecting that, but it's a nice addition to my collection. I plan on checking in at least once to every attraction in both parks as well as checkin only once to Disneyland -- hopefully to earn a Swarm badge. I was so close yesterday, then I had to re-visit Captain EO. Damn!
