Lost Blanket Disaster at Disneyland

Last year my husband and I decided to take our kids on a trip to Disneyland. We had been before with our oldest son, but had not been back since having our two youngest kids. So, we decided to go all out and make it really special by staying at the Disneyland Hotel.

My youngest son was 14 months old at the time and had a white blanket that he carried with him everywhere. We could not leave the house without it, he wouldn't sleep without it, etc. So, of course, the blanket came to Disneyland with us.

On our second to last morning at the resort and park, we had breakfast at Goofy's Buffet. My son fell asleep while we were eating and did not wake up until we were walking into the theme park. When he started fussing, I loooed for his blanket and to my extreme horror, could not find it anywhere. My son kept getting more and more upset, and my husband and I started panicking because we could find the blanket. I knew we had it at the restaurant, so I rushed back to the hotel with my baby while my husband and two older kids went on to the theme park.

Back at the hotel, I explained my situation about the lost blanket to both the hotel staff and restaurant staff. They were amazing and immediately started looking everywhere. One staff member even went down to the laundry room to see if it had been picked up by mistake with the linens. We had no luck finding it before we left, and my family had a miserable flight home.

It never did turn up, but the staff was amazing with the search and later doing whatever they could to entertain my son and calm him down.
