Disneyland and the California Dental Association

Every spring the California Dental Association holds a dental vendor show at the Anaheim Convention center. This year the convention is this first weekend in May. The dental association offers discounted Disneyland tickets as part of the convention. I took Friday off so that I could take my family to Disneyland and California Adventure. We then stayed at the Disneyland California Grand Hotel so I could go to the convention today.

Both the amusement park and the hotel offer quite a lesson in consumerism. First of all, I was suprised at the large number of families with young children that visit the park and stay at the hotel. Even with my convention discount for the Disneyland tickets and hotel, it was a costly two days. In addition to the tickets and hotel cost, there is the eating out and Disneyland merchandise expense. For a family of four it probably costs nearly $1000 to spend one weekend at Disneyland and California Adventure.
