We just bought our Annual passes and hvae a 7 hour drive to get to Disneyland. I hope to wear those passes out in my year of use! i dont see how you could have too much Disneyland!
As someone who is fortunate enough to have free entry to the parks, I go to Disneyland a lot. Yes, I have been on Space Mountain so many times that I've memorized the track, and sometimes just skip it. However, Disneyland has this atmosphere about it that allows you a different experience each time you visit, even if you've been there 90 times in one year. There's never a time when I will decline a chance to visit the park.
I personally like to take time to do things that a lot of regular guests can't, because of time, budget, etc., and that is watch the park atmosphere talent. The Dapper Dans are a favorite, and Billy Hill and the Hillbillies is not to be missed. Sometimes I'll plop myself down at Coke Corner to listen to the piano player or quiet area of the park and people watch. That's where the (and here's that word again!) magic of Disney really comes into play. Seeing little kids run excitedly down Main Street never gets old. Watching their face light up as they see a character is one of the most rewarding things, even though they're not my kids. Even getting into the parade and being excited to see your favorite characters is fun.
There's always something new to explore, and like others have said, don't go in with the mindset that this trip has to be absolutely perfect, because then it won't be. You probably didn't realize that your last trip was perfect until you looked back at it, so this trip can have the same outcome, even if things don't go as planned.
