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).

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.

The Nomos Glashütte Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer was my favorite model from this year’s Watches and Wonders event. There is something about that Nomos Worldtimer ring that really sings to me, which is also what attracted me to their Zürich Worldtimer Topper Limited Edition as well.
