August 14th con't
After I snapped a few pictures of the characters my Mom and I met my aunt, uncle and cousin for breakfast. We thought we would go back to Carnation Cafe for some good ol' Mickey waffles!
While we were eating and enjoying our breakfast the best thing happened! Oscar came over for another visit!!!! He stayed and chatted for so long and was telling us all about the years he has worked at
Disneyland and that he is retiring this fall. He told me about this magazine that had an article about him in it and about how long he has worked here for. We all fell in love with him, but I think I fell the most!
I love our group photo with him!!
He told us to come back later that day or the next day and he would give me the magazine he was talking about. I seriously wanted him to be my Grandpa, and when he looked at me and talked he had tears in eyes. Even though we had just met, I felt a real strong connection with him and when he told me he loved me, I knew he meant it. I know that sounds so weird, but when you meet someone with such a sweet spirit as this man, you will understand. Thankfully this was not the last time we would see him!!!!
After breakfast we didn't really have much planned. We sort of wandered around in some of the shops on Main St. and looked at all of the neat things. It was such a gorgeous morning, and it felt so nice just knowing we were still at Disneyland! I was sad that it was our last FULL day there though. We still had Friday morning and half of the afternoon.
I loved this store!
We stayed in there for awhile and walked around. My uncle, cousin, mom and I did one of those little handheld machine games and tested our sex appeal! I took videos that I will upload later (all videos will be at the very end of my trip report).
When I was playing with the little Pinocchio dancing machine, I felt a warm tap on my shoulder. It was Oscar!
He came into the store and saw my mom. She told him how much he meant to me and that we loved that we got the chance to meet him. She even told him how I wished he was my Grandpa. She said he got tears in his eyes and wanted to come find me. So when he did I was so happy!!! He just gave me a few hugs and then went on his way.
