Disneyland Ride to the rides

So my B/D is October 27, which is a week from Tuesday.
I got the free pass thing for the mouse house on that day.
Anybody with an annual pass or $80 cash admission fee who wants to join me, I'll be riding from my house in Cypress to the park, 9 miles each way.
I'll make spoke cards if any one commits to joining me.
Free bike parking, I'll pick up some Subway sandwiches on the way there for lunch and there is a rockin Mexican food joint with great chow and low prices a short bike ride from the park for a dutch treat dinner (yes, they have beer!).
I'll go as early as you want and stay as late as you like.

There is plenty of private parties and ticket agencies that will sell you a day pass (park hopper, if that interest you) for $55 as low as $45 per ticket. $55 seems to be the going rate. How it works is they (agency) purchases a multi-day pass in which they have a limited time to use all the days on it. They sell you the ticket for the day and you have to return it to them in the evening (so they can sell it the next day). To return the ticket to them some have you drop it off at their office or home, some will meet you at the park around 8pm. Some ask for a $25 deposit to get the ticket back, some will take your id as a deposit. The lady I purchased from charged me $48 and just took my name and address off my id and asked me to slip in the slot in her house door on my way home. But beware, there is a few scamers out there. Just make sure it is a legitimate Disneyland ticket and not some email computer print out. They are all over craigslist under tickets. I used the oc cl's.
BTW. Your birthday ticket and those multi day passes work as fastpass. Use those as you get in, so you don't waste an hour at a time waiting to get on a ride. You will get more rides in that way. Use the pamphlet with schedule of events you can pick up at the entrance if you are interested in seeing any of the shows, plan your day around them.
As much as i resisted giving Disney any of my money, I had a really good time when I went on my birthday, and got away pretty cheap. They have all day locker rentals at the entrance of the park for $7-$11 depending on the size of the locker. Food is not that ridiculously priced in the park. Drinks are $3-$5 which is high. As I remember there was no problem with bringing your own food into the park, you would just have to carry it in you bag.
My suggestion would be, eat a big meal before you get into the park and get some sandwiches or snacks to eat while in the park. Bring a big bottle of water with you to drink. Stop by the Candy Palace on Main Street on the way out and see how long you can hold on to the handles of the Electricy Machine. It's only a quarter and a blast to try--- literally.
