That's great that Paxton learned Mickey's name! I'm sure that really was special to see him evolve from calling him Mouse to referring to his name over just a few days.
I agree with you about the Storybook Circus character thing though... I love the way they have that area and the characters themed, but it really is a shame that you can't meet them in their traditional look.
I have to say that I really thought your story about Mickey's Philharmagic was funny. We went through the same exact thing. I mean I could pretty much just copy and paste that in my TR.
It was so great to see him expand so much in one trip! Now he knows them all. I am excited to see him with the characters this year now that he knows them by name.
Yeah, what is up with that? I don't get the whole move from Daisy to Donald in Epcot...is it just because he's also in Mexico? It's really a bummer you can't see him ANYWHERE in his traditional garb. At least the other 4 are still available all natural in Epcot.
I was SOOO excited that he was willing to keep the glasses on and even more so when he was actually grabbing for things. And then that darn water ruined it! I'll have to remember to cover that part of the seat in front of him next time. Hopefully he will have forgotten about it by then!
Love the Fantasyland updates! Yay for Paxton being brave and trying the Barnstormer. Too bad he didn't quite enjoy it. Maybe next time!
I seriously cannot wait to see all of the new Fantasyland. Last April part of Storybook Circus was open so we got to ride Dumbo, but I really want to do the character meet and greet there! Looks like you guys had fun!
I hope next time he enjoys it more too! It was such a big milestone to get him on his first roller coaster, and to have him hate it so much was a bit of a disappointment. DH said he used to be a ride chicken when he was a kid, but hopefully DS will take more after me and not be scared of much!
I think you will love the M&G area. It is so well themed and fun! The only bad thing about it is that you can't wait in line once for all 4 characters. I can't wait to see the FLE on our next trip! It was so hard walking past it all during our trip and not being able to go in!
Great update...Love the pic with the Mickey doll!
Thanks! I love that picture too. He really fell in love with Mickey Mouse this trip!
