Day 2 started with of course some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for Oliver as that is his morning routine back home.
This was also Mother's Day....one of the big reasons I had booked this trip. I was so pumped for the Disneyland Hotel's Mother's Day Brunch and when I found out it was canceled on top of all of the ride closures I nearly wept, but, we went and booked different brunch plans for 10am so we stood in line for Disneyland early that day to see how much we could get done in Fantasyland before the masses showed up.
Waiting at the gates...
Oliver was clearly more interested in my PP+ badge then smiling at the camera
And I loved how empty it was that early in the morning, and still reasonably cool out as well
We rode Dumbo, Casey Jr Circus Train and the Storybook Land Canal boats before heading out for brunch.
The Mad Hatter wanted to let us know that we were about to get eaten by a whale.
After that we walked back to PPH for our brunch with Mickey Mouse. This was the first time Oliver would be up close and personal with the characters and I was hoping all would go well. When we walked in Mickey was coming back from a break and when he walked by Oliver, oh Oliver got so excited! I was so relieved!
We also met Daisy and Pluto. He wanted to steer clear of Stitch though.
Oh and he gave Mickey big hugs and wanted to keep going up to Mickey but I had to explain to him that other people wanted to meet Mickey too.
Oliver filled up on waffles and syrup and was nice and sticky, so we headed back to the room to change him and then went back to the park. We decided to take a spin on the Jungle Cruise, but Oliver decided he wanted to nap.
So after he woke up we boarded the Jungle Cruise, which he hated. I think due in part to the heat as we were waiting in the que. Both levels were open so it was a bit of a long wait. After that I treated him to his first Dole Whip Float and he LOVED it!
Such a yummy treat on a hot day! After that we attempted Autotopia, but it was just too hot. We boarded the train, which I thought he would love, but by the time we got from Tomorrowland Station to Main Street Station he wanted off.
As we got off we noticed Goofy and Donald on Main Street. He wanted to see Goofy, and then changed his mind and wanted to see Donald so we got in line to see Donald. As we were two people back from meeting Donald he wanted to go wait for Goofy and I told him we had to see Donald first. He wasn't very happy about that.
At that point I think Oliver was a bit tuckered out so we headed back to the hotel for a nap.
