Disneyland, Day 3

Jess and Gus weren't feeling well today, so they planned on spending the morning at the hotel and joining us after Gus's nap.  Unfortunately, he went down for his nap late, and they didn't make it until Dinner time.  More on that later.

After yesterday's experience with Goofy's flight school, the girls wanted to start out the day with Splash Mountain.  They went on it but didn't like it too much.  The issue was there was a drop in the darkness that they didn't like.  That caused them not to like the big drop where the picture is taken.  Unfortunately, you can't see Sarah because of the person sitting in front, but Lilly's expression is priceless.

The girls were able to see Tigger and Pooh, and go on Pooh's ride.  We then made our way over to Mickey's Toontown.  Due to Splash Mountain, they didn't even want to go on the kiddy coaster in Toontown.  We made our way back to Tomorrow land, where they girls went on the Astro Blasters and Star Tours again.  The Star Tours ride was a completely different ride.  I am sure I could ride that one over and over to see them all.

We made our way to the wish lounge.  It is a room off Main Street that they have for families there with Make-A-Wish.  It was nice to get out of the heat.  The girls watched half of The Little Mermaid before being ready to do more in the Park.  On our way out, we hit the jackpot with Characters.  We followed Cinderella to a spot just below the castle.  She was there with her Fairy Godmother.  After getting pictures and Autographs with them, we saw the Queen from Snow White, and Ariel come to the same spot.  The girls got pictures and autographs of all of them.

About this time we found out that Mom wasn't going to join us before Dinner, so we made our way over to Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion.  The Haunted Mansion was changed for Halloween.  Jack the Pumpkin King took it over and it was themed with Nightmare before Christmas stuff.  It was fun, and the girls loved it.  We then hit some of the rides in Fantasy land before Dinner.

We took the monorail over the the Disneyland Hotel where we met up with Mom and Gus.  We had dinner at Goofy's Kitchen, where we saw a number of characters, like Goofy, Pluto, Chip, Dale, Mulan, and Minnie.  Gus loved Minnie.  It was funny to watch Gus with the Disney characters.  After Dinner, we decided to call it a day.  Tomorrow, we pack up and return home to Seattle.  It has been lots of fun.

Thanks for all those who have made this trip possible.  The girls have been treated very special.  We are very grateful to have been part of Sarah's Wish.
