Group of 64 participants for Disneyland Trip


A group of 64 individuals with developmental disabilities from the City of Mesa and City of Chandler combined took a bus ride to California to visit Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The participants were accompanied by 12 staff from the City of Mesa and Chandler and one Registered Nurse. The large group left the Chandler Senior Center on Thursday, October 7th at 8:00am and arrived to Anaheim, California around 3:30pm to check-in to the Homewood Suites Hotel.

On Friday morning, the group of 77 people boarded the two charter buses and enjoyed a fun day at the California Adventure Park. Saturday was a fun-filled day at Disneyland Park where the participants were able to have a full-day of riding rides, entertainment, getting Disneyland character autographs and enjoying the many options for good amusement park food.
Everyone boarded the buses at 11:00pm on Saturday night and headed back to Arizona.
Everyone returned safe to Chandler on Sunday morning but all were very tired from such a fun weekend! Everyone had a great time and looks forward to seeing Mickey and Minnie again next October! Thank you to the wonderful staff that made for a safe trip for all of the participants and to Jacquie and Collette for planning the 2010 California Adventure Trip.
