Autograph Please

As we were walking to Disneyland on one of the three days of visiting the park, Markus didn't ask about getting any of the characters autographs. When he was three that was one of his favorite things about the park, and he would carry his autograph book around with him everywhere just in case he encountered Mickey or one of his friends. But he is eight now and everything changes. He still liked eating at Goofy's kitchen and chatting with some of the characters there though, so I guess it hasn't lost all of it's magic. When Pluto and Dale came to our table they sat down and started writing on the paper table cover. Max asked Pluto why he never talks and Pluto wrote down that he is a dog and dogs don't talk. He then proceeded to bark! Markus asked Dale the same question and Dale wrote, "Because Mr. Disney asked them not to speak." Markus said, "But Mr. Disney is dead." and Dale wrote, "But he would still know." They continued on with their "conversations" for a few minutes until it was time to get up and dance with Goofy and his friends.

fun for max

max is always a fun loving kid, so disneyland is great for him. his favorite ride is the many adventures of winnie the pooh, it has been ever since he was little. he still loves all the thrill rides like california screamin' and tower of terror. splash mountain is another favorite of his (even though it was closed while we were there) yet he still likes all the fantasyland rides like the carousel (my favorite) and dumbo. he loves to get autographs from the characters and he wanted his name put on his new mickey ears. he has his old set of mickey ears at home, but wanted new ones since the other ones were getting a little small, he has had them since he was one. he wore them everywhere he went at the park and took them on every ride with him, always making sure he didn't lose them. so cute! he used his allowance to buy a hairy dog puppet from downtown disney and named him shamus. one of his favorite things at disneyland was sticky mickey - mickey mouse shaped ice cream coated with a hard chocolate shell - yum! he absolutely loved it and i absolutely adore him!
