Wednesday- Some family met us at the park, so that was an extra special treat. We started at California Adventures. Ty, me, Cloey & Cal went on soarin' over California. We all thought it was really cool. Then was the buzz lightyear ride, the kids & Ty really liked it. Then we took the kids on roarin rapids, I thought Cal wouldn't be too scared because it wasn't the pretend kind of scary, but he didn't like that either. Cloey got soaked and thought it was real funny to run out and give dry daddy a big hug. He would have been more amused but he happened to be on the phone with someone from the Scottsdale fire department who had been trying to reach him to offer him a job (to be continued.......). Then it was back to the hotel for lunch and a quick nap. We went to the Wish lounge (a special place to rest, get refreshments & info in Disneyland just for Wish kids) The helpful cast member told us where the the best place to sit for the parade was and to get there soon, so off we went. it was kind of a long wait, but a barber shop quartet came by and made Emmy sing, so that past some time. We were sitting on the curb right under a tree, and it was well worth the wait. The pictures just don't do it justice, every one had to stay right on the curb and if the started to come at all close the the characters they were quickly put in place by a handler. Except Cloey. The first float was Sleeping Beauty, and the good fairies were walking in front. Meriweather came right up to Cloey and gave her a big hug. Through the whole parade, the characters came and gave her hugs, the ones on the floats blew kisses and spoke right to her. She was being treated like a princess, like the parade was just for her. It was perfect. Then we rushed over to make the last Jedi academy training for Cal. Unfortunately, he wasn't picked as a jedi but he really liked watching. Then it was more rides, including the Peter Pan ride, They liked that one so much they are still running around pretending to be Captain Hook and Wendy. Cal says it's because you "really fly" on that ride. Cloey bought a sword in the gift shop, and as we were leaving a cast member chased us down. He said "hey you left my store too fast" and Bent down to trade pins with Cloey. He gave us all one & Cloey a few, one of which was a "year of a million dreams" pin. Those pins can't be traded, but are only given to special people. She really liked to trade pins. Then as we rushed to dinner at Ariel's Grotto, we saw Minnie & Mickey Mouse. Of course there was a long line to see them and we were already running late. So we decided Ty should just take the kids over and see if they could squeeze them in. Before they even got there, the handler said "everybody, we have a special Make a Wish friend here, please back up" They not only got to take pictures with them, but Mickey & Minnie spent a good 10 minutes hugging and playing hand games with them, it was so cute. At Ariels Grotto, Make a Wish had reservations for us. We met Ariel on the way in, and throughout the dinner all the princesses (except Sleeping Beauty, which Cloey pointed out) came by to the tables. They spent extra time with Cloey, and even Cal had them sign his autograph book. Since it was our last day at Disneyland we wanted to stay as long as we could. So it was back to the park for more rides. We decided not to go and wait for the fireworks, because there was so much left we wanted to do and we could see them from our room, and anywhere in the park. We got Cloey a Mickey ears hat, pink with a tierra and a veil. Of course with her name on the back. We also had to get a picture in front of the Gibson Girl ice cream parlor with all of our Gibson girls (I took a picture there on our honeymoon). When the fireworks started we all stoped to watch. then when we were waiting to get back into fantasyland to go on more rides (it is closed until it is all checked out after the fireworks) a cast member told us to go over to the show fantasmic while we waited. He said it was worth it, and it really was. We weren't able to get to the Make a wish section (front and center) because we got there right as the show was starting, but we got to watch from the wheelchair section, and it was fantastic, they especially liked all the characters on the boat at the end. We squeezed in a few more rides, and as the park was closing we headed back to the hotel. Lainey had fallen asleep in the stroller at about 9pm. Cloey was out the second we put her in her medical stroller, and Cal was falling asleep sitting on the foot supports of Cloey's chair and in danger of falling forward and cracking his head open on the concrete. Absolutely precious.
