The Jones: Disneyland Day 2

The second day started out with just Bentley and myself. We went to the Paradise Pier Hotel to Meet Mickey at the Surfs Up Breakfast.

If I were going to Disneyland again, I would definitely plan more of these meals. This was the place where Bentley had the most fun, and he had one on one time with the characters. He got pictures and signatures. We ate mickey pancakes and waffles. It was great and I think it was worth the extra money.

He met Pluto (again) and Lifeguard Mickey

We met lifeguard Minnie,

we met Daisy,

We met Stitch (again) and Bentley wasn't really sure about him.

Bentley was very fascinated with this Goofy statue in the lobby of the hotel. So we had to take a picture.

Then we went to Disneyland.

We met Pinocchio (even if we only had one shoe on). Pinocchio was in a hurry, so we didn't have time to put our shoes back on.

Bentley's favorite place in all of Disneyland was Goofy's house in Toon Town. It has a little playground, and the children can just play around with the things in his house. He screamed when we had to leave, and he wanted to drive every car that we saw in Toon Town.

This piano in Goofy's house didn't make any noise unless you touched a key in the bass clef. So Bentley was just playing along, and then the piano made noise. He thought it was hilarious!

Look what I did, MOM!

Then we met Goofy! (A little side note: We waited to see Goofy for a long time, and right as we got to him--he said he wouldn't sign books anymore. We could only get a picture. I was angry, but I tried hard not to show it. After all, it is supposed to be the happiest place on earth. So we snapped our picture and didn't get an autograph. At this point, Bentley was super tired so we were going to the hotel to get a nap. On Main Street Disney, Goofy was there greeting more people. I was still kind of mad that we didn't get his signature, so at the end of the line an employee was there holding the line. I kindly asked her if it was possible to get an autograph. Needless to say, we have Goofy's autograph in our book.)

After we met Goofy, we saw Donald too. He was the hardest one to find! This was the only time we saw him, and his line was LONG. We didn't get to meet him, but we snapped a picture as he walked away. (Plus, Bentley was asleep in the stroller at this point.)

While Bentley was sleeping, I wandered around the shops. In California Adventure, I saw the lights for a Disney Jr. Show. I knew that Bentley would love to see it. So I hopped in line, and I waited while Bentley slept in the stroller. We couldn't take pictures inside, but Bentley loved the show. It had puppets from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, and Handy Manny. (All characters that Bentley was familiar with.) It was a hit!
