Last spring at the Harrison Hot Springs Hotel as we finally got everyone into bed and turned the lights out, a querulous voice piped up. “Why are we not at HOME?” asked Tara. We all burst out laughing and struggled to get her settled once again.
This whole ‘stay at a hotel for fun’ thing is a bit beyond our Tara. She likes her home and she likes her bed.
Tuesday we head for Disneyland and her excitement and concern have been rising exponentially each day. The questions about the trip have been fascinating.
She was very busy this morning bringing down her pillows, blankets and stuffies to pack since apparently Disneyland does not have these. We have had to reassure her over and over that Nana will be here taking care of her stuffies as well as the cats and the lizard.
Today I told her she could bring ONE stuffy with her if she liked. She chose Mickey. Said she was going to show the real Mickey her toy one. Okay, I said and that was that. Or so I thought. The wheels were still turning.
“I am going to take Mickey, Adam can have the bear, Caity can take the cat stuffy and you and daddy can take the other two.”
I guess stuffies are like carry-on and we can all have one each.
Uh huh.
She is completely baffled about the whole STAYING there and SLEEPING there. We have shown her photos and videos, but she still thinks we will be kitting down with the Disney characters or something. I thinks she thinks we are all total loonies.
She is also deeply concerned about whether Disneyland has fruit, waffles and pillows.
Also Westjet, you are now on notice. Apparently you are expected to serve her scrambled eggs on our flight on Tuesday.
You can follow our experiences next week at the hashtag #DisneyFF I will tweet as much as I can about all the new things to check out in Disneyland this Summer.
