Grace has been talking about visiting Mike and Sully for months, if not years. She saw the Monsters, Inc. movie when she was around 1 or 2 years old. We visited them shortly after seeing the movie. She was afraid of them, but after we left she kept talking about how she would hug them and not be afraid the next time she saw them.
We finally went for that visit. Surprisingly there was no line. We just walked right up to them and Grace gave them both hugs! It was cute to see her beaming face. RJ seemed to be a bit skeptical, but shook hands with Sully. That moment was perfect!
On a side note: A shout out goes to whomever found RJ's gippy on the ground at Disney's Hollywood Studios and turned it in to an employee. I realized it was missing within 20 minutes of leaving Mike and Sully. As I frantically retraced our steps back to the monsters, I asked every employee I encountered if they had seen RJ's blue and brown gippy. One very nice lady said someone turned a similar item in and ALAS it was his!! I never in a million years would have expected to find a lost item at Disney World. Thank God for small miracles!
