Morning everyone!!!!
Since DH and I are going to be by ourselves this trip, we are just going to wave to the characters as we pass by, unless we see some of the characters the kids don't normally see.
In October when we took the kids, we were at opening of Toontown one morning about 45 minutes early. We were going to try to be the first ones in to get lots of autographs. At opening, we were up at the rope, about 8 other families were next to us.
Mickey came out and waved to everyone, took a look around and spyed my DD (Belle) age 4. She had two ponytails, with Mickey heads on the ponytail holders. Mickey's handler said something to him and he pointed to DD and to her pony tails. The handler came up to us and said, "Mickey wants you to help him open Toontown by giving you and your family a tour of his house."
She took the rope down, Mickey hugged my kids, took DD by the hand and proceeded to take us on a "tour", pointing out things in his house. I was so teary, I could barely see to take pictures!
Then he took us to his room and the handler told all of the other families that had followed us that they would have to wait outside. And we spent about 10 minutes with the Mouse, taking pictures with just us. I will never forget it as long as I live.
If only I knew how to post pictures!!!!!
If you get a chance, be at Toontown at opening. Not only does Mickey do that, but Goofy picks one child to ride Goofy's Barnstormer too. If Mickey hadn't picked DD, we were going to make a bee-line for Goofy, who was standing in the middle of Toon town, doing the Robot, much to the delight of all. (Especially the adults!!!!)
