We had an early start on Monday, George was in his element as we all slept in the same room. He thought it was great saying 'Hi ya' right next to me. We went down for our continental brekkie and then went swimming. George learnt to say 'again' after coming down the water slides and guaranteed he would go down again!
On we went to the park for our first ride, 'The Grand Prix', only queued for about 20 minutes, but that was enough trying to keep George entertained. He enjoyed being in the racing car and wanted to drive, only problem was he wasn't allowed to sit on Wes' lap so he got really upset being wedged in between us. We managed to start seeing some characters and queued to see Mickey Mouse, again George didn't want to stand and wait, but I was determined for him to actually meet Mickey. When he got to the front, he was itching to get up the steps and rushed over to say hi. He gave Mickey a kiss on the end of his nose, a big hug and then gave Mickey 'five'. Mickey was the first autograph for Georges book.
Wes took the mickey (literally) out of me because I wanted George to meet all the characters and take photos, so he'd have some memories of his trip. George enjoyed meeting Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Donald and Daisy Duck. We managed to see some other characters as we wandered around the park, some we have no idea what they are from.....will have to swot up on our Disney films. George finally fell asleep, so we decided to go to the Disney Studios. These were so small compared to MGM, but it gave us a chance to wander round.
With George awake, we took him to see a car show. He loved seeing the cars skid and engines roar, whilst dipping his hand into a pot of popcorn!
Wes had booked a meal and show at Wild Wild West, which was a whole new experience for George.......eating dinner in the dark whilst watching Indians ride horses, guns shooting and buffalo roaming, not to mention the cheering from the crowd. He joined in clapping as he ate but burried his head in Wes' shoulder a few times when it went pitch black :-)
We got the bus back to the hotel to have a drink in the bar...well I did whilst George dragged his dad into the playarea. Both came out with red faces and were in need of sleep after a long busy day.
