Disneyland!

The family just went on a trip to Disneyland, which is solid gold for memorable moments.  Let's see how many of them I can remember...

C (age 22 months): Tea!  Ride!  Tea!  Look!
Mom:  Oh.  Yay.  The Tea-Cup ride.
C:  Yeah! Cup!  Tea!  Ride!  Tea!


Oma: Do you want this hat, C?
C:  *pleasantly*  No!
Oma:  How about this toy?  It's Lady!  A doggie!
C: *pleasantly*  No!
Oma: Don't you want anything??
C: *pleasantly*  No!
A:  I want something!


C: *to absolutely everything in the park, interjected with gasps of surprise*  Whass-at?!  Whass-at?  Whass-at?

New words learned at Disneyland by C:  Shah-ping, Nah-pit, Mi-Nee Nowss, Ride*.
*Shopping, Muppet, Minnie Mouse, Ride

Memorable Moment:  After getting her picture taken with Dale, C decided that Bun-Bun-Bunny needed to sit in her stroller.  Chip walked up, observing her as she tried to cross the buckles over Bun-Bun-Bunny's lap.  Chip patted her on the head, then proceeded to buckle Bun-Bun-Bunny in.  C watched for a moment, and when presented with a buckled bunny, started waving her hands frantically and making panicked cries until Mom pulled Bun-Bun-Bunny out and handed him back.  Chip got a dirty look from C as she walked her bunny away.


Mom:  So do you know where we're going?
A (age 4): North?


Dad:  What does that say right there?
A:  Umm...Disneyland?
Mom:  Disneyland?
Dad:  Is that what it says?
A: ...yeah...?
Mom:  What's that?
A: Is that Disneyland?  I like Disneyland, so I want to go.
C:  Whass-at?  Whass-at?
A: I don't know what's this place...

Mom:  So where are we?
A: At the hotel?
Dad:  Where're we going, A?
A: Um, I don't know
Mom:  You don't know?  Maybe we're at...Disneyland?
A:  Yeah....


Oma surprises A in the gift shop at the hotel.  She lives 2000 miles away and he didn't know she'd be there:
Oma:  Hi, A!
A:  OMA!  *hugs her* Oma, come here, I want to show you something...
Oma:  *laughs* Yeah, come here, Oma: I want to show you something I want you to buy for me.


A: I want to go to the Star Wars ride!!
***after the Star Tours ride***
Mom:  Did you like it?
A:  No, Dark Vader scared me.
Dad:  Do you want to go on again?
A:  No.


Dad went on the It's A Small World ride for the first time.
Dad:  *whispers*  Oh my god!  It's so racist!  This is horrible!
A:  That was fun!  Can we go on again?!?!
Mom & Dad:  NO.


-On Pirates of the Caribbean:
A:  *cowering and whimpering in fear*
C: *snuggling and happily asleep through the whole ride*
-On Haunted Mansion:
A: *cowering and whimpering in fear*
C: *staring with mild interest*
-On Splash Mountain
A: *refused to go anywhere near it*
C: *couldn't go on it*
-On Ariel's Undersea Adventure
A & C:  YAY!  AGAIN!!!


A:  I want a corn dog.
Mom:  We can't find corn dogs.  Just eat the barbecue.
A:  It's spicy.  My heart says this isn't good food.
***the next morning in the hotel***
A:  *pointing to the park map*  Mom, Oma and I found the corn dog place.  So we have to go and get a corn dog.

***At the character breakfast***
C: *to Baloo*  Hi!  *high fives him*
A: *hides under the table until Baloo is gone*


A: Let's go on the merry-go-round!
Mom:  That's a Ferris Wheel.
A:  This is the best merry-go-round ever!
Mom:  Ferris Wheel.


A:  Mommy, I love you.  This is the bestest family I could ever have.
