Characters We Met

Tigger was so fun to watch, he was hyper and bouncing all around the place. As soon as he saw Tigger, Logan started jumping so they faced each other and bounced into each other's arms. Tigger picked him up off the ground and swung him around in circles. Then when he put Logan down, Logan started bouncing again and Tigger got down on his hands and knees and and bowed in awe of Logan's jumping. It was really funny. They had everyone laughing.
Logan's all time favorite character is Buzz Lightyear. He has seen both toy story movies a hundred times, he listens to the "you've got a friend in me" song in the car, he has the action figure and is all the time spouting out random quotes like, "I come in peace." So we decided that we would be failures in parenting if we did not catch up with him at the park. Most of the characters have set times and designated places that they show up at everyday. Buzz is a little different. He is sheduled to show up every hour somewhere in Tomorrowland. The first couple of days we never saw him and then on the fourth or fifth day he came right by us but Logan was asleep in the stroller so... On our last day at the park we asked a bunch of workers where he would be and they all told us things like, "Buzz is a space man, he flies wherever he wants." Luckily, Ben went and got the lowdown from a security officer, he told us a few places where he knew Buzz would not turn up, that narrowed it down to 3 areas of Tomorrowland. So we split up with a plan to call everyone if we saw him in our specific area. About two minutes later I got the call, He was at Space mountain so I headed over there just in time to see Logan running after him yelling at the top of his lungs, "Buzz!" We finally tracked him down and got some great pics. Notice the galactic bell-bottoms.

In Critter Country by the Winnie the Pooh ride, (one of Logan's favorites) there is a spot where you can wait in line to meet Pooh, Eeyore and Tigger. Logan knows them all and went running to each of them to give them hugs.

Pooh was his favorite of the three, Kim gave him a stuffed pooh bear for his second birthday and he sleeps with it every night, he gave pooh a good 3 minute hug and you could tell that Pooh was loving it as much as Logan was. I thought he was going to fall asleep in Pooh's arms. Unfortunately, there was a line of people behind us eager to get their turns.
Amber and I had a pass to go on Soarin' and so Ben and Al took Logan to the bear park over in California adventure. They put on a really fun show featuring the bears from Brother Bear. Logan sure loved them. Thanks Al and Ben!
Logan loves Pluto and when we saw him at the entrance to the park, he ran up to him while other people were getting their pictures taken with him so I had to take off after him. We got in line and when it was our turn logan gave him a big hug. As we were walking away Logan said, "Pluto is a good doggy." What a kid...
