Oliver giving Mickey hugs. He then proceeded to ask him where the potty was. Hilarious.
One of the highlights for Oliver was the Jedi Training School. This is a 20 minute or so show where a Jedi master chooses about 20 or so kids from the audience and then teaches them in the "ways of the force." Then some storm troopers, darth vader, and darth maul enter and the young paduans get a chance to showcase their moves ad battle the evil sith lords. Oliver was too young to participate but got to the show early and got to sit in the front row. Darth Maul was probably about five feet from us and so in between battles he would give the crowd the best evil eye he had. Oliver raised his hand and "used the force" which of course Darth Maul played right into. He kept coming back over and over and Oliver continue to use the force to push him back. When Oliver stopped using the force we asked him why and he said with a healthy dose of attitude, "I already did it like five times." I might have peed my paints I laughed so hard.
There is a story in the Fay family that I have heard once or twice about Bill and Marsha taking the kids to Disneyland and Stephanie, when spotting the evil queen that peeks out of the castle window, grabbing on with all of her might to Bill (holding her at the time) and latching on so hard that he swears he had nail marks on the back of his shoulder. It's an understatement to say that she was horrified. Well with our son it was a little bit different. He calls the evil queen the "funny lady." And he thought she was just that. He loved watching her peak out of the window so much that on our second day, when waking from a nap and asked, "You ready to go back to Disneyland?" said, "I want to go and see the funny lady, go and see her at the window, and I want to take a picture of her." Go figure. But you don't dare not tell a 2 and a half year old at Disneyland "no" so we took a picture as requested.
We has some time to kill before the fireworks so we ended up hanging out at this dance floor (below) while a live band played. I am pretty sure the band was a group was made up of college "all star" band members so they were really good. Then there were what seemed to be a group of talented dancers who would dance amongst some others who were brave enough to get out there with an audience of 75 around people. Amongst those brave enough was Oliver who had a merry old time out there on the floor showcasing his moves.
We stayed out on the last night to watch the fireworks. Oliver thought they were really cool but I have to say I was super impressed by the whole thing too. They had a real person playing Tinkerbell and swinging on this huge wire across the sky from one side of the castle to the other. It was pretty magical.
