Both stories have happened to my DS who is now 4......Both at Disneyland too. We were outsied of the Abe Lincoln exhibit waiting for my mom, DH, and DD. DS was 1 at the time and I didnt think the would sit through the show. Well it was lated in the evening, about an hour before closing, and out from the alley walks Mickey. I swear NO ONE for at least 10 minutes was around. My son played with Mickey for the whole time! He was SO thrilled. My video camera ran out of batteries this late in the day, so all I have are photos, but its a great memory.
Second thing that happened to my son was this past year. We took him at 3 1/2 to Disneyland, and he was newly in love with Buzz Lightyear. Had only recently learned about this guy. Well we sat down for the parade and were in the front row. There are sections to this parade, so you never know who will be in front of you. We just so happened to get Toy Story. When the float came out, and the music started, something in my little 3yr old sprang. I have NEVER seen him dance like this before, but he was so excited he ran out into the parade, and started "break" dancing. The crowd was laughing hysterically. The CMs were clapping, and cheering him on. They all moved out of the way so he could dance. Once again its not on film because I was screaming trying to get him to come back.
