We had planned on taking the little gentlemen to Disney for Benjamin's birthday. Eric had something at work and he couldn't take off. What to do? What to do? I decided it would be better to go on my own rather than not go and be bitter about it. So we went.
We found a good grocery in the train station right outside of Disney, yummy baguettes for breakfast kept three little dudes happy and full. They were really good. I think this will be our new norm before we head into the park.
Disney Paris is awesome. I LOVE this magic bean stalk. Another thing I love is the dragon lair beneath the castle. There is a huge animatronic dragon that is a little unnerving when it lifts it's head up and snorts. Unnerving, but super cool. And the pirate caves to explore are super cool too. We were there during the transition time. We saw three different parades as they were shifting to the Christmas themed parade. We were also there for the last night of the firework animation show. We missed the Frozen show. Drats.
I learned that the hotel lobby has a character meet at 4 pm everyday. You dont have to be staying at the hotel so we tried it out. AWESOME!! We got to see lots of characters and interact with them not just pose for a picture and get an autograph. Goofy was a hoot. And Mickey would dance with the children, or tussle their hair. Later we went to City Hall and Mickey gave Benjamin a birthday phone call. The cute lady gave Benj and his two brothers a coupon to get a free gift in the shop. Very cool!
So the photo below is blurry but I am adding it anyway as it was my favorite photo bomb ever. We were visiting with Chip and ready for a picture when Dale jumped in front of the camera. It made me laugh out loud. Dale then pointed to Isaac's holey (not holy) mouth and then pointed back and forth from his holey mouth to Isaac's. He then gave Isaac high five. Evidently they are part of an elite group of cool holey mouth dudes. I loved him because he happily made Isaac feel special.
Happy Birthday Benjamin!!!
Just a reminder that Benjamin threw up at the hotel our last night. He slept well, and the next day he seemed fine. Ha. Too bad Eric wasn't there....for lots of reasons...one of which, he would have kindly cleaned up the throw up mess. :)
