I woke up this morning sad to report that I have spent my last night in DL for probably what will be many months. I accepted a promotion with my company that is a career opportunity that I couldn't pass up but requires me to move back to TX. So now after, on 18 months in CA and more than 120 visits to the park I closed it last night. A 40 year old man shed a tear last night (several actually) like many children as they exited until the next unknown visit. I took one last look down main street to last me and I say so long for now to place that allowed me to put aside my adult worries and troubles, if only for awhile. Thanks Disneyland for the memories and I'll see again..
Yeah, the benefit of more income is certainly a plus and I am already thinking about a trip to Disney World.. I appreciate the kind words and I took close to 200 pictures Saturday. I have plenty of fond memories but I definitely took it for granted that I could just go whenever I wanted being a Premium AP holder and last night was definitely more special. I enjoyed all the rides a bit more, the corn dog tasted a bit better.. I gave Mickey and Minnie a big hug! Love ya DL! - MMDiver

Congrats on your promotion! Where in tx are you moving too! I'm moving to Austin tx in 45 days but atleast you had an AP to go whenever I do not and haven't been in years! I wish you the best and am sure you will be back to DL soon! - BriarRose110511 229.2 #1255 9:12AM
Now I'm sad. On a brighter note promotions usually = more $ so you can come back soon and there's always MW. You'll just appreciate the Happiest Place on Earth THAT much more! Feel better/happier soon =) - 559MickeyLover

Congratulations on the new job & remember, most banks offer miles or points, even on debit cards. These are easily redeemed for weekend trips to DL. - mswendybe

Stayed down by the park last night (house is empty) and just checked out and drove down by the park and Mickey & Friends parking (tears again)... I wanted to pull in so bad... I can't believe it is this hard! Looks like a beautiful day at the park! Soak it in and love it! - MMDiver
