Libi has recently been very into watching Pete's Dragon-- which delights me no end! I love every single song in this movie and it is home to my favorite Disney song EVER, "Candle on the Water!" I even learned how to play the beginning on the piano many years ago-- that's how much I love that song.
Ron and I decided that we would take Libs to DCA so she could see Elliot live and in person in the Electrical Parade.
We started the day in DCA at the Monster's Inc. ride. I think Libs could ride this a hundred times and never get tired of it. Luckily it's not too offensive for Ron and I either ;)
We then went looking for some characters to meet. We first found Goofy so we decided to do a family shot.
Mr. and Mrs. Incredible were right around the corner so we had to see both of them! Libs was a bit unsure at first, but when her hero (Daddy) went up with her all was OK.
Since Libs had been asking to see Mickey (and Jammy and I weren't able to accomodate during our last trip) we knew we had to see him this time. The trouble was we weren't sure if we would make it back to Toontown so we timed it to meet him after his show in DCA. She was one happy camper-- until she realized that she wasn't going to get to see Woody too.
We made it to Sunshine Plaza (the front entrance of DCA) about 10 minutes before the Pixar parade was supposed to start. I charmed my husband into staying put for it-- he is NOT a parade person and two in one day just might have been his limit!
Libs was captivated!! All of her favorite characters in one place!!
We saw the folks from Cars, Monster's Inc., Toy Story 1 and 2, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Bug's Life, and...
the Incredibles!
She was a bit miffed that there was no Wall-E-- Ron and I were a bit miffed that every parade float got us wet.
After the parade we went over to Disneyland for dinner and Tinkerbell!
We saw Iridessa again-- I was sad because we missed Rosetta (the only fairy we've never seen) by about 20 minutes. I don't think this bugs Libs, but I really want her pictures with every fairy!!
This was the best Tink we've ever experienced! She talked with Libs and took her time.
Libs has been really into her "dalmation pupy" lately. She brought to show all of her Disney friends. When Tink asked her it's name she simply said, "Dalmatian puppy!" Poor Tink was confused because the collar on the dog said Lucky, but Libs was adamant that its name was dalmatian puppy!
I was all about family pictures today! Here we all are with Tink!
While I waited for dinner, Ron and Libs went exploring and they came upon a penny machine. This was Libs first time doing this and luckily Ron took some pictures!
She picked out a Goofy penny and was proudly showing it to everyone!
After dinner it was time for the parade. To fill the time, Libi danced in the street...... A LOT!!!
When she realized she was being watched by other folks she danced even more. She was quite entertaining!
Daddy even joined in on the act for a bit!
Ron took Libs to pick out a light-up toy just for the occasion. She went back and forth before making her final choice of Stitch.
She had so much fun making it go round and round and light up for her.
The parade has a new start-- Tinkerbell has replaced the Blue Fairy and Libs couldn't be more pleased!
Libi was awestruck by it all! She squealed with delight as she saw her favorites all parading in front of her. It was a great moment to be a Mommy :)
Notice that she didn't let go of her Stitch for a moment.
When she saw Dopey she exclaimed, "Mommy's favorite!"
When Elliott rounded the corner, you should've seen her face! She was totally thrilled!
We will definately have to go see it all again-- it was such fun!
On our way to the car we stopped to watch the Disneyland fireworks. Libs had the best seat in the house!
