Steve’s high school students had another robot competition in Anaheim again this year, so we made a family trip out of it. Grandma Suzie and Grandpa Mike came along to help me out with kids since Steve would be busy with the highschool kids the entire time. We sure appreciated them coming along and hope they had some fun.
On our way… Hank’s second airplane ride. Went pretty good. He fell asleep watching the wiggles. Oh, and miss Emma Wiggle liked his instagram pic and said “It’s not wake up Lachy now”
Hank got a special disability pass. Disney has started this new system to help the disability system they had in place from being abused. Basically, since it’s a bit harder for Hank to wait in line for too long, we can either bring his stroller all the way to the front and use it as a “wheelchair” and he had a handicap pass on it or this little card was used as a “fast pass” and we were able to have a shorter wait time on any ride Hank would be attending. It was a good system and we didn’t even use the pass that much.
Getting on and off the rides gave Hank a lot of anxiety but he did pretty good. He enjoyed the rides once he was on them.
The boys ready for the day! Me and mom (mostly Mom) crocheted this hats for Disney. I actually have a Minney Mouse one too!
The castle (I’m still trying to figure out my new point and shoot so the pictures are not what I’d hoped- it’s a Canon G1x if you wondered).
Before the Disney Jr. Live Show – A must see!
Look at that line for Radiator Spring Racers! Drew liked that ride, but thought “it was a little fast”

Drew’s adventure on the Tower of Terror. He was really scared to get on but he did it. The whole time, everyone in line kept asking Drew how old he was and telling him he was so brave. Ultimately, he was mostly scared of the story, concerned that he would get electrocuted and disappear. The dropping of the elevator didn’t but him that much. The whole rest of the trip, about every hour Drew would ask us if we were going to Tower of Terror and where it was. He was making sure we didn’t find our way back there. If you ask him about it he will tell you “I was a little bit scared but a lot brave.”
Ok, side note. Back to my younger years. We were eating lunch in California adventure and I look to the table next to us and there is Tiffanie Amber Thiessen from Saved by the Bell. So funny.
Hank had a good first Disneyland trip and was taken great care of by the cast members. My mom had Hank out and about in the World of Disney store. One cast member asked about Hank. He wanted to know what was wrong with Hank, if he would be okay, etc. So nice. He took extra care and got Hank all the buttons he could find. He asked my mom to wait for a minute. HE went back to the art department and then into a back room. He was gone for a few minutes. When he came back he had this special photo/art signed by Mickey Mouse himself. How awesome. We later found out that Mickey Mouse doesn’t sign pictures that much and Hank is a lucky boy to get such a treasure. Such great people in this world.
Successful Disney trip yet again. I think we will wait a few years to go back this time. Maybe?
