Meeting the Characters at Disneyland

We had a lot of fun at Disneyland, but one of Luke’s favorite things was meeting the characters and getting autographs.

We were able to meet quite a few, the first being Anna & Elsa from Frozen.

{All the cousins together}

{I think Luke has a crush, he got awfully shy around these two}

{Luke’s favorite  character is Donald so we made sure to meet him}

{Donald was super excited when he saw that Luke’s autograph book had a picture of him on the front}

{Goofy was another favorite}

{Yes, I dressed my boys in matching clothes every single day because that’s what you do when you are in Disneyland}

{We made a stop into Luke’s favorite store, The Lego Store and made sure to check out the Hulk}

  
{Woody was also a must meet character}

{Hanging out on the tractor in Cars Land}

{Mator making his rounds}

{Oh just hanging out when Minnie came and took my niece and nephew’s hand for a stroll down main street}

{Luke also got to talk to Crush from Finding Nemo and it was so dang cute I got a snippet on video}

We decided to do the character dining at Goofy’s Kitchen.

It was suppose to be a great night, but I ended up forgetting the tickets at our hotel (mom brain).

The worst part was that I didn’t even remember I had received any tickets to begin with (mom brain again).

So after running back and forth from hotel desk to hotel desk, making phone calls, talking to everyone under the sun, and a lost driver’s license we were seated ready to eat.

However, I was so worked up after all of the mess that it was hard to relax and enjoy the meal.

The kids LOVED it and didn’t seem to notice I was a disaster.

I’m just glad it all worked out because this encounter between Chip and Hank is priceless:

Pluto was also another favorite of Hank’s and he stayed and played at our table for awhile.

 

{Playing Peek-a-boo}

{Eating Hank for Dinner}

{Hugs for Pluto}

{Rafiki and Luke}


{Hank teasing Rafiki}


{Luke didn’t even know who this was, but he was willing to take a picture with a pretty princess}

    
{Flirting with Minnie}

           
{Cute Minnie Mouse}

It was such a fun night for the kids.

Hank giggled and flirted with each character while Luke gave everyone a huge hug.

I’m still a little traumatize over it, but I’m sure the “sick to my stomach feeling every time I think about it” will soon go away.

The things we do for our kids!

I would have hated to ruin this experience for them.

I’m glad they will have these fun memories.

More from our Disneyland trip to come…
