Watches at Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure

Brian H. February 3, 2015

Ever since @wifeofawis and I got our Disney Annual Passports, we have been spoiling our daughter @babyofawis with too many trips to Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure.  Before she was born, @wifeofawis was already a Disney fan... but now with our daughter, trips to Disneyland have a completely new meaning.   Thrill rides have been replaced with kiddie rides and the focus is now on making sure that our daughter is having fun.  Totally different from before, but just as awesome if not more awesome.  Seeing her face light up with happiness is priceless.

Apart from all the chaos and fun that is part of bringing a child to these theme parks, I have tried to find some sanity by observing what other people are wearing on their wrists while I am in waiting in line for my next adventure or while I am walking to my next destination.  Unsurprisingly, there are many Casio G-Shocks.  A smart choice actually.  Rugged enough to survive what can be a tough environment with obnoxious teenagers and hard surfaces everywhere.  And of course there are plenty of fashion watches (Nixon, Michael Kors, etc.) on both men and women.  I seldom see a "luxury" watch... and when I do, it is usually a Rolex.  But the biggest shocker has to be large amount of people that simply do not wear a watch at all.  Not sure if they decided not to wear a watch to a theme park on that day or if they just do not wear a watch normally... either way, pretty alarming to see that many naked wrists :-).  I did run into an Audemars Piguet Diver one day... but that was from our #LAWatchGang member @jimmypark54 so I guess it does not count.

Here are a few photos of my watches having a great time at Disneyland...

Matching shirts with the wifey?  Hell yes!

Wifey rocking the GMT.

Steel Daytona (ref. 116520).

Daytona on the Jumbo ride.

Same ride, different watch.

One of the few food items worth the premium, the corn dog!

More corn dog goodness...

Pure deliciousness.

Not into corn dog?  This fried chicken is also worth the premium.

It's a Small World

Parade time.

Panerai, Rolex, Chanel.

Bumped into another #lawatchgang member.

Couple that Disneys together stays together right?

They seem to enjoy Disney's California Adventure as well...

PAM 416

Cars Land!

The Doc is in...

Pixar's Parade

Panerai, Rolex, Cartier

For the first time in forever...

Omega Apollo 11 50th Anniversary visits Malibu. The Hulk at the Avengers Headquarters. Color coordinated ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค Slowly started to eat out again… not sure that I really missed dining at a restaurant that much ๐Ÿค”. Anyone else feel the same? They don’t make them like they used to. There is something special about white dial PAMs ๐Ÿ˜. Kabobs ๐Ÿข and watchesโŒš๏ธ.
Enjoying my new @montawatch (@everestbands) leather watch roll. Top quality all around, highly recommended. A pair of beautiful AP watches hides inside… Which color should I go with? โค๏ธ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ The Chanel J12 GMT. Happy Saturday everyone! Not your typical watch โ˜ ๏ธ One of my favorite PAMs, the 968.
Best part of the Prism watch case from @delugsstraps? The cover also serves as a pad!  Perfect place to lay your watches on once you take them out of the holders. 3 very different black watches ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค. Which one would you choose? I still think that this variant of the Speedmaster is gorgeous ๐Ÿ˜. My Luminor case trio... 911, 563, and 416. Safely stored in the @delugsstraps Prism case. Who knows which one of these three is a regular production model? I’ll stick to this Speedmaster ๐Ÿ˜‰.

Perfect Saturday. #friyay at the happiest place on earth. Thank you @jujube_intl for the inner zip pocket. I passed bag check with flying colors. Totally didn't expect it too, cuz who checks bags at the movies still? ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿซ ps. Buncha crunch + popcorn is the best combo. #yourewelcome I was all set for the movies with my #tokiperky light and popcorn shirt. ๐Ÿฟ @babyofawis opening her eggs last Easter. Happy Easter to all that celebrate!  The #ittybittybe is perfect to hide a couple eggs for the little one. ๐Ÿ™Š Korean AYCE. ๐Ÿ˜ Happy Saturday! At the dentist office. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ The new spring cups from #Starbucks make me want to switch my bag to something a little lighter. A little unikiki 2.0 perhaps? ๐Ÿค” Bon voyage, @toysofawis ๐Ÿ˜˜. Happy Friday, everyone! We are excited for the Beauty and the Beast movie! @babyofawis wanted to hang her belle on my #fairytella bag. #tokidokixjujube #jujubeintl #bff ๐Ÿ˜ฅ #mondate Taco o'clock. ๐ŸŒฎ Taco dirty to me. ๐Ÿ˜ Happy Friday! ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ
