Off To Catal And A Visit With Santa (Page Two)
It is that time and the Silver Ghost heads down Katella towards "The Happiest Place On Earth" (other than our home) . Sue's 56th year and my 33rd year spending the day with Mr. Disney!
We have gone to Catal since they opened eighteen years ago and today we go for breakfast (with Santa) and then we return at 5:30 for dinner.
This year the new parking structure was ready to go!
Did You Know? - Seven acres remain in the southeast corner for future growth. Across West Street from Disneyland Park and the construction site of Disney's California Adventure Park, the six-story Mickey & Friends Parking Structure was built on newly acquired land north of the Disneyland Hotel as the replacement main parking area.
Only at Disneyland can we have funny colored trees!
Sue, Rebecca, Zack, Lilly-Gator, and Remy proceed ahead! Pops takes pictures!
We are almost there!
Oops! I forgot to make reservations for Breakfast With Santa...
Glad we are excellent customers as they fit us right in!
We expect Robin and Bob momentarily... We got our eye opener going!
The bar was slightly different this morning!
Bottomless mimosa's! Drink up!
One of our favorite bar keeps! He poured our favorites before we sat down!
There is trouble right here! Paul can't get to his favorite seat at the bar!
(He refuses to eat his way through the cookies)
Santa was in the rotunda awaiting our arrival with open arms. It took Silly-Lilly about .003 seconds to snuggle up and provide an abbreviated 3,467 item list to Santa.
Zot! Silly-Lilly is ready to go!
She has a new bear!
Remi is not to sure about the fat bearded guy!
Maybe it is OK since Sis is doing it!
He is being brave!
But he is really wanting Mommy or Daddy!
She got a bear and one for Remy...who is awakening with trepidation seeing the jolly old fat man with the beard!
All smiles, the negotiations must have gone well!
Cute!
Not a happy camper.... yet!
Did You Know? - Santaphobia, or Clausophobia, is the fear of Santa Claus. It is typically suffered by young children who encountered with Santa Claus. This fear is linked to christougenniatikophobia, fear of Christmas, since Santa Claus is the official Christmas mascot.
The photographer is earning his keep...
Shooting with one hand and jiggling bells with the other!
M-m-m-m-m The bells are beginning to look interesting!
Bells? Bells? This is OK!
The old Santa Ham is taking it all in!!!
The Lind Family get first dibs!
Zack is all dressed up for Christmas
(Wait until next year.... Grandpa will dress Zack)
Zack wants to know where is bear is!
Santa called us Grandparents.... He gets an extra cookie tonight!
The photographer tries the bells again!
Looks like Great Grandma likes the bells
(I will get in trouble for that one)
It's too bad Mom or Dad could not join us?
Paul with Granddaughter Rebecca and the Great Grandkids!
"OK, who called this meeting?"
The gaggle!
Looking good
Even Remy has a smile
Remy is warming up to Santa
We love our family.... Next year the Liles' are joining us!
Remy is getting happier by the minute!
We all are!!!
Looks like Nick has a teddy bear also
(Nope! Lilly gave it to him for the pictures)
A wonderful family!
Robin with the million-dollar-smile!
