We finally arrived. Austin is in his element!
He loves Disneyland. He talks about Disneyland all year. He goes on you tube and watches videos that people have posted of them riding the rides at Disneyland. Its Disneyland 24 - 7 in our house.
Austin had a certain order he wanted to ride the rides. The first stop was Mr. Toads Wild Ride. Now it would be convenient of him to agree to ride all the rides in Fairytale land while we were in that part of the park. But oh no, he wanted to hoof it over to the Roger Rabbit ride, which happens to be a good walk away. We all took turns trying to convince him to ride all the rides in this area while we are here because I know we will have to ride them before we leave. We say "Austin do you want to ride Snow White?" he puts his hand up like stop right there and says "Nope I'm OK. Lets ride Roger Rabbit". We give in and walk over there.
The day was amazing as always. Even though we had to criss cross across the two parks to ride the rides in Austins wacky order. Every time we went through Fairytale land we would try to talk Austin into riding every ride there so we wouldn't have to come back. But he was determined to do it his way. As a side note, it is funny to see a grown man riding the Flying Dumbo ride. Even funnier when Andrew rides on it with him in the same elephant! But back to the story, by around 10:00 we are in Disney California and ready to go when Austin starts saying "How bout Casey Jr?" Translated this means, alright family get it together because we are heading back to Fairytale land so I can ride the last remaining ride that we haven't hit yet!. We all moan but we suck it up because the rest of the year Austin never asks for anything.
We head back to Fairytale land for about the seventeenth time that day and plop down in and empty Casey Junior train car and ride the final ride of the day. Austin is happy and that makes me happy. And so our adventure in Disneyland comes to end for another year. The whole family leaves the happiest place on earth exhausted but happy.
The next morning when Austin wakes up I say "Good morning buddy!"
Austin says "In October go Disneyland"
I love my flappy life!
