Oops, save the best for last - forgot to BLOG day 5




Sunday was our fifth and final day at Disneyland. The boys woke up to find special gifts left overnight by their favorite Disney friends (a little magic cooked up by mom and dad). Disney tee shirts and stuffed animals were left by Pluto for Nate, and Minnie for Ian. They were over the top that the characters might have stopped by while they were sleeping (or mom made a midnight run to Downtown Disney). So next we started the morning out right with our Character Breakfast at Goofy's kitchen, which was located right outside our hotel. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Chef Pluto, who after 4 days was Nate's guy. After loading up with the silliest breakfast food ever - the boys had mickey mouse waffles, maccaroni and cheese and chicken nuggets along with pb and j pizza and lots of junk, we were treated to charater visits at our table every few minutes. Goofy, Chip, Dale, Baloo and some random princess all paid us a visit. Funny story about the princess - we have boys. We have no idea who any non-big time princess is (ie after Snow White and Cinderella we are about clueless). So the furry characters don't talk. The come up, pat, wiggle, high five, get a picture and leave. The princess though, she stopped to chit chat. Dave and I had no idea who she was and what movie she was from. The boys were frozen in their chairs. Finally, I suggested maybe Dave would like to have a picture with here since the boys were being shy. He happily obliged. Upon arriving home I checked in with a school mom at Nate's school - she has twin girls who themselves look like princesses - it was Belle from Beauty and the Beast, in her 'plain' clothes. Whew!
Back to the park to ride all our favorites again. I especially enjoyed this afternoon becuase after Ian fell asleep in the stroller after lunch, I got to ride with Nate on some of his favorites and experience him. He's hysterical - arms way up in the air throught the whole roller coaster ride telling me not to be scared.
We left the park about 2:30 and high tailed it back to the hotel to immediately jump on a bus to the airport. Not a minute was wasted.
