snippets (did I spell that right?)

These were checked off NBear's "To-Do" list:

* pack Woody and Jessie (and later find the absolute BEST Jessie cowgirl hat ever!!!)

* go with Daddy to get the Disability pass from the Disney City Hall

* enjoy my favorite rides (carousel, Dumbo, Snow White, Casey Jr. , Pooh- to name a few)

* try out new ones (Haunted Mansion, Toontown roller coaster, Indiana Jones)

* tell Mommy that I NEVER want to ride Pirates of the Carribean or the Haunted Mansion again! (she was sad because she loves both)

*do not be upset when we can't ride "It's A Small World": when something is closed because they want to 'improve' it, that's actually a good thing!

* take pictures with the infamous Mouse!

* give Minnie Mouse a hug (and make sure MBear gets to hug her too, even if it's just her leg)

*enjoy the fireworks without "shutting down" *yes!* (cover ears, though)

*watch Fantasmic -- I'm glad I saw Woody and Buzz during the finale, as it took a lot of my fear away. Darn loud noises!

*explore California Adventures (day 2)

*hang out with Auntie CP and Uncle AP

*scream in delight as our Sun Wheel gondola rocked back and forth (and wonder why everyone else on it seemed petrified with fear)

* watch Playhouse Disney Live on stage and not care if I sing louder than the cast members themselves (added note: Mbear was a total killjoy, refusing to even dance! Must tell her to have fun and let loose next time.)

*ride new rides (Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Ariel's carousel, Sun Wheel, Bug's Land rides)

*get angry at the fact that the Pixar parade included being squirted with water! (how can I be able to focus on Woody and Jessie if they have water pistols pointing at us?)

*go on Soarin' Over California TWICE! (and absolutely LOVE it!)

*get Daddy to convince me that getting even WETTER on that rapids ride would be considered "fun" (glad mommy packed those extra clothes!)

*go back to the hotel for a night swim...and watch the fireworks (again) from the pool!

*smile and thank God for another wonderful - actually, for an even BETTER - summer trip!
