Hi all,
A while back I had posted about taking my family and 9 yr old niece to DL for the "Happiest Birthday on Earth" party. The feedback was unanamous: it is lame. Oh No! What would I do? I have always been the cool Disneyland Aunt.

Well there was a party of eleven of us. That in itself made it fun. BIL and his 2 kids now 16 & 18 that I have taken to stay at the GCH twice, (just the kids!) for their birthdays and just because, and then my other SIL and her two daughters 9 (the birthday girl) and 7 that I've taken to stay with me at GCH (All three of them), and SIL's boyfriend and his two daughters, 15 and 7 and my dear, dear MIL and me. (did you notice my DH is missing? his mom, brother and sister were there, but he wouldn't come, sigh)

Anyway, I was nervous since everyone said they and their kids didn't like this event. We were blessed by a glitch. :wizard: The audio wouldn't work. We had no idea what that meant, but it delayed things. They brought us our cakes to decorate and we were having fun, when all of a sudden characters started coming to visit. We had Sleeping Beauty and Prince, Cinderella, Snow White, Mary Poppins with Bert the Chimny sweep and a penguine, Alice In Wonderland and the Mad Hatter and Tweedle Dee. There was Donald Duck, Pluto and of course Mickey Mouse and our host Pat E Cake. They all interacted with all the guests a lot and we had the best time. We all ran out of film during that event. I couldn't believe how much everyone loved it.

I don't know what "audio" we missed, but I am greatful for the Glitch, as I am still the Cool Disneyland Aunt. Another great Disney memory that will be part of our family history.

We found out afterwards that it was a glitch. The official photographer didn't know what to do with all the characters. We got a great group picture and my niece had her picture taken with Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. We had such a Blast! I am Disneyland Blessed!
 
Nice job!! It takes a great Disneyland Aunt to pull that one off. Of course, with you in control, the audio knew to go caput! It's just a thing where that Pat-E-Cake guy does something silly. I'd still go because, well, I like cake.

Us Disneyland Aunties need to stick together!!! (I get to sign in my niece for free and I get 35% off of stuff. To her, I am the bee's knees and I wouldn't have it any other way!!!!) :sunny:

Isn't it great to be a Disneyland Aunt? I love creating special memories for my family. Everyone (even DH) now has AP's. and I bought them all their very first park tickets. :sunny: We have DVC, so we often stay at GCH. I've taken my MIL (just a girls weekend) about three times, and she even asks when we're going back. She is very sweet and I love to travel with her. I guess I can hold my head up and plan another trip now! LOL

I can't tell you how worried I was about that birthday party.
As my husband says, I'm Disneyland Blessed!


I love that you get a discount, you must be an employee? That makes treating the family so much easier.

Enjoy life and great vacations!

The next best thing to being a cast member is being married to a studio cast member. I still get all of the perks! :cheer2:

Happy Aunting to you!!!!
