I recently decided this year to go ahead and buy a pass; I'd really been missing the days during college when I would mosey on down to the park whenever I wanted, just to take in the atmosphere and sketch. I'm looking forward to getting as much use out of it as I can despite now having a full-time job. 
Obviously there have been changes in the past few years. One thing I always keep an eye out for are nice out-of-the-way corners of the park that don't have crowds but also have some nice atmosphere, where I can take a little bit of time to draw. When I went to the park last week I was bummed to see that the little courtyard in New Orleans Square was blocked off - that was one of the spots I really liked. Some of the other places I used to hang that weren't all that crowded before have gotten pretty noisy. And of course Big Thunder Ranch is now gone forever, which is another bummer because I used to draw all them goats and sheeps in the petting zoo. :3
So I wanted to come on here and ask around. What are some nice tucked-away places with character you like to take a rest at when you go to Disneyland? I'm mostly asking about Disneyland proper, since my go-to drawing spot at DCA is the lobby of the Animation building for obvious reasons.
