Awesome Memory

A memory that stands out as "Magical" also happened at Disneyland which is known for its magicalness. I was dating Sandy and we spent the day doing what people do at this grand place. It was approaching the end of our visit. The parade was to start in about an hour and we decided to meet at the Crepe place (don't remember the name) and get something to eat or drink some hot chocolate. I believe it was Christmas time. This place is located on Main Street not too far from where you enter the park. I remember it was real close to the Abraham Lincoln attraction. We had our omelet or whatever and were getting ready to leave when the server said "Why leave"? "You have the best place to view the parade right where you're sitting. They start the parade right here". So we got refills of what we were drinking and 5 minutes later, it started. It was just such a cool, fun experience, one that we've always remembered..... watching the parade unfold so close to us. We were the first ones the characters would come up to. The whole experience was just wonderful. We repeated the event several times after, and while it wasn't as "magical" as the first time, it was still always a good time.
It seems like the last time we were there, the little cafe wasn't there anymore (maybe a victim of corporate America, and it didn't bring in enough revenue), but it's one of the memories that just stays with you for a lifetime.
