Day 1 July 16, 2001 - I just cant get this smile off my face!
We arrived at the Hilton Anaheim at about 3 pm unloaded the van, unpacked and headed for the park at about 4:30pm for a bite to eat and quick tour of park so the kids could look around.
I have to re-tell the story of my first time at Disneyland at about the age of 2. I had told everyone that Mickey Mouse would be waiting for me at the gate. The adults tried to let me know Mickey might be busy running the park. Of course, Mickey was waiting at the gate for me. And the rest is history.
Mickey comes through again. Now back to the present. After entering the park we walked under the railroad tracks on the right side of the park. We saw Pluto and Goofy standing near Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. I looked to the corner of the square and there was Mickey himself. Sebby and Anna got that look of amazement and wonder we all know. We all walked over to Mickey. Sebby was trying to get Mickeys attention when Mickey spotted Anna and walked straight to her, bent down and put his arms out. Anna hesitated for a moment then pinched Mickeys nose and gave him a big hug. Sebby also got a hug and a picture. And you know I got my picture too. As we continued down Main Street, Sebby turned to me and said, I just cant get this smile off my face.
Anna asked if we could walk through the castle. We walked through Fantasyland and then through Froniterland and ate at River Belle Terrace. The food was good; restaurant very busy, and we found a table inside. The children had kids meals the pbj sandwiches were in Mickey Mouse shape and plentiful the chicken kids meal was not as filling. The adults had fish, or chicken, or the clam chowder in a bowl and beef stew in a bread bowl. Everyone enjoyed. After dinner, we went and rode the train from New Orleans Square to Main gate. I made a quick stop at the Emporium to get autograph books for the kids to have for the next day. We went back to the hotel.
