Friends with Ears...

I've got quite a few friends now that work for Mickey Mouse. Over the years, the amount of coworkers hopping the fence has grown exponentially.

Knowing that I've been a big fan of the park and the cartoons most of my childhood and adult life - it's funny that I haven't found myself working there yet. But perhaps it's better that way - so that my personal vision of this "Happiest Place on Earth" company will never tarnish. :)

Sonya was so awesome to ask if I was interested in going this weekend (as one of her free guests!) and we expanded the group to Niki and another new club member, Shana. Despite it being overcrowded for a non-holiday weekend, we had a LOT of fun and it serves as a reminder of why I may never be able to move out of L.A. :)

As you can tell, i didn't even realize we were at the 'Take A Picture' portion of this ride:


Paris Hilton, watch out! Shana also gained a not so secret admirer that joined the picture too:

I'm shocked at the current prices to enter the park though - and I'm more shocked that these admission prices aren't minimizing the crowds. Are all these other people also employees coming in for their free days?
