I have so many memories of the ride Monster's, Inc. All of them are with the grandchildren, which is why I love this picture of Anna and Sammy in the limo at the entrance. The first visits, when the ride was still very new, found us waiting in long lines--mostly during summer months. It was then that people zig zagged back and forth in a long line that wound it's way through a short space before finally entering the building.
Any given wait was a time of getting after the boys for playing or hanging on chains that separated the lines. But without exception, our grandchildren loved going on this ride. It was what we did each visit, and usually, it was something we did at least five to ten times per park visit. As the boys grew older, it was more difficult to get them to ride. It's sad to see how quickly certain things become "little kid" rides, but one thing for sure, this "little kid" still enjoys it and is grateful for granddaughters, who will most likely continue to ride on it with me. If nothing else, I'm sure I can find something as a bargaining chip. Monster's, Inc remains something fun and entertaining to see, especially the different variations behind one of the doors, where a number of filmed characters give responses.
And the final touch is the large supervisor, who looks like my fourth grade teacher and sounds like a secretary, who worked in one of the counseling offices of a high school where I worked as a teacher.
For me personally, it's fun to see the connection between Anna and Sammy. On one hand, you have someone once quite feisty, who now is quiet-spoken and overly sensitive, and on the other hand, you have Sammy, someone, who will always remain feisty and mischievous.
They are both precious granddaughters, two little ones making it so much fun to visit Disneyland in the area, where grandparents spoil them with princess dresses.
