The Magic Continues, Disney Day 3

Friday was my favorite day! We had breakfast at the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney - a cool 3 story restaurant with jungle animals throughout and a fake thunder storm every 30 minutes. The boys loved it. Into the park we went at 9am We saved Mickey's Toontown, another land that is all Mickey'd out, for today. Straight to Mickey's house went where we were promptly greeted by Mickey himself. All fear and shyness of characters is long gone...Ian is happy to hug, Nate to high five and tease. Ian loved the roller coaster in Toontown - as with most rides it took a bit of convincing to get him on it in the first place. Nate loved all the things there were to do and climb on. Ian's true magic moment came when he saw Minnie Mouse. He ran up to her at full speed and threw himself into her arms at the town fountain. Dave and I were both thrilled to see how happy he was. Later, we met Pluto. Since it was starting to rain (again!) Pluto took both boys by the hand and walked them all the way down Main Street to his house. They thought they were so special.
I took Ian back to nap at the hotel this day. Dave and Nate "King of the Coaster" continued on to do some father/son bonding on the big rides: Thunder mountain railroad, Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, and more Star Tours.
When Ian and I re-entered the park we stumbled upon the Parade of Dreams which was really neat. All the floats were beautiful and characters were everywhere. We then went on some mom/son rides: Rocket ships, Jungle Cruise and Winnie the Pooh (over and over and over). Ian "One more time again" Shuster was born.
