This photo is for nurse Paula. This past weekend, I did my own create a wish and went to Disneyland for a day. In all, there was a group of 12 of us. My cousin's-daughter's-mother's-cousin, Hugo, works at Disneyland and was able to join us and host us. He works the night shift and had just gotten off but he generously took us around the park and gave us the tour. Our first stop, after getting mouse ears, was at City Hall where they gave us "honorary citizen" buttons which would allow us to be accommodated at the lines for the rides we wanted to get on. I proudly wore my head bald with just my ears and sometimes I had to take a break since my scalp would get warm. Tolerance still needs to be worked on as I still got plenty of stares from everyone (kids and adults). Most people were kind enough to move out of my way as I was in a wheelchair and even generous enough to move aside when a group would crowd around a performance and I couldn't see from where I was at.
This is a short lil blog to let you know I had a wonderful time at Disneyland and I couldn't thank Hugo enough for taking time out of his day to give me and my family a wonder Disney experience. What I've learned is that Disney is a huge money maker and they don't do anything special for people in my situation so it really does take kind hearted individuals like Hugo to get a true Disney experience. I will forever be grateful for him and what he did for me.
More to come so stay tuned!
