Last time you heard from me I had just announced that I was signing up for the runDisney Star Wars Half Marathon. I may have said I was going to blog the training process for you and I obviously didn't do any of that, so I will just give you the run down of how training went.
Started out great!
Changed that way I had been eating and put in some miles on the track.
Realized that I like drinking and playing video games WAAAAAY more that eating right and exercising.
Stressed about it for 6 months.
Tried to weasel out of it.
Did it anyway.
I FINISHED!!!
I would show you a picture of me triumphantly crossing the finish line, but it was less triumphant and something more like wanting to cry, pass out and vomit all at the same time...
But I set a personal best and have officially announced my retirement from half marathons! Wooo! Yay Me!
NEVER AGAIN!!
Awww! I miss this! The sitting in front of my computer writing stuff that I am unsure anyone will read...
Okay. Here is the real reason I am here...
DISNEYLAND HAS INCREASED PRICES AGAIN! Effective TODAY!!
SHOCK!
HORROR!
RAGE!!
Meh. I am actually not too bothered by it.
Here is the new price system.
The one day/one park ticket went up to $99 from $96... three dollars.
Two Day Park Hopper went up a whopping two bucks, $155 now...
Annual passes went up as well.
SoCal Select went up $10 to $299 that's like, $25 a month...
SoCal passes are not available for first time purchase but the renewal price for people who already have them is $389
Deluxe pass has increased $30 to $549. The parking option is no longer available to any pass except Premium which already has it included in the price.
The biggest increase in the Annual Passes was for the Premium Pass which went up $80 to $779.
Here is the thing that bothers me about the increases. The people who are on their self righteous high horse loudly proclaiming that Walt Disney would be rolling over in his grave. Shut up! That is the lamest thing I have ever heard. The people who say that have no real idea what Walt was about.
Disneyland isn't a right! It is, and always has been, a privilege!
If you want to boycott Disney because the cost has gone up? By all means, do it! Like, for real... go.
GIF to make us all feel better? Okie!
Don't worry baby birds... I am already working on my next post!
Stay Dorky!

P.S. I haven't actually retired from runDisney events... Once the pain subsided, I decided to do Star Wars again next year. Boo! I am already stressed about it. But we have a name! The Imperial Walkers! Who's in??
P.P.S. You want more pictures?
