Meeting Thor in Disneyland

According to the Marvel Universe, found in marvel.com, Asgard is a small planetary body. It is the home of Mighty Thor, one of the Avengers. It is ruled by Odin.

Asgard also exists as an exclusive attraction in Disneyland which the Velez Family visited last 31 December 2016, as part of the #StepsOfOurLives around the US. We had arrived a few days before New Year's Eve in California, coming from the East Coast, where we celebrated Christmas with our cousin, Renelle Velez and her only son, EJ.

On New Year's Eve, we found our way inching around a very crowded Disneyland and got the rare opportunity to meet Thor, up close and personal. Yes, Rafa was among the first kids to meet Thor that evening and one can't imagine all the glee and smiles in the 6-year old Manresan. According to the Marvel Universe, Thor was actually born in a small cave in Norway. His father, Odin took him to be raised in Asgard by his wife, Frigga. At Asgard, he grew up with his adopted brother, Loki. His famous hammer was created for him by Odin on his 8th birthday. Maybe, Rafa will get his own hammer next year?

Meeting Thor, is probably one of the highlights of this US trip for our son, Rafael.
