I remember when I was little and they used to run commercials for Disneyworld. These commercials always ended up with a family getting uninterrupted time with key Disney characters without a single other person in the shot. This never meshed with my experience of going to Disneyworld, where every character was mobbed by throngs of drooling, sweaty children anytime they dared to set foot in the park. Perhaps it's just faulty memory, but in one of the rare acts of civil behavior, people really give you more space with the characters, as you'll see in the pictures below. Of course, in this particular instance it helps that we were walking into the park an hour early and Minnie was just starting her shift.
As if a weekend at Disneyland wasn't exciting enough, we also had the Jordan family's resident Disney obsessive Aunt Caroline in town for the weekend.
Ging Ging's presence ensured it would be way more fun than tractor tipping.
Going at midafternoon on Friday during the spring made the waits that much more bearable.
Traffic was much worse here than it had been on the way down.
Saturday started early with multiple rounds of Dumbo.
That was more dizziness than Laura could take, so she had to tag out for wilder rides like the carousel.
It wouldn't be til later in the year that our obsession with Jake would begin, but Carson appeared ready to outwit the plans of Captain Hook and Smee.
I don't think I ever realized that eeyore was one of Caroline's favorite Disney characters, but the kids made sure she got to spend some quality time with him.
As if we hadn't seen enough characters, we got one last visit with the big cheese himself before finally calling it a day on Saturday. Our solid efforts to spoil our kids rotten in April were just getting started, as next week brought a trip even further south to Legoland.
