The eight made their way into the park, their eyes quickly moving around trying to catch the wonder of everything that was around them.
"Okay, so we have reservations at 2 but other than that we're free to do whatever. Let's just meet back here at like 1:30 and then we can make our way over together to the restaurant. Sound good?" Lily asked, scrolling through the Disney app on her phone.
Everyone agreed and Alice, Frank, Marlene, and Dorcas went off one way while Lily, James, Sirius, and Remus went off the other.
"Let's go to ToonTown first," Remus said. "I heard there's some fun stuff there."
"Okay, yeah. I think that's where the characters houses are. We can go inside!" Lily said excitedly, grabbing James' hand into her own and linking their fingers together.
James smiled down at his girlfriend, he loved seeing her happy and she was definitely happy here at the Happiest Place on Earth. The four made their way into ToonTown, both couples hand-in-hand.
Once inside ToonTown they went through Mickey's house as well as met Mickey, then made their way through Minnie's house before going on Gadget's Go Coaster and Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin.
After they were done in ToonTown they made their way over to Critter Country where they rode The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh before walking a bit to Fantasyland.
"Can we get something to eat?" Sirius asked, his eyes wide as he looked around at all of the different venders.
"Sure," Lily laughed. She figured they'd be stopping at some point for a snack. "What do you guys want?"
"Popcorn."
"Pretzels."
"Cotton candy."
Lily rolled her eyes at the three boys, laughing. "Alright then. Three different snacks it is."
After they had paid and each boy had gotten his snack they made their way toward the Alice in Wonderland ride. As they waited in line the boys finished their food, and talked animatedly about what else they wanted to do.
When they got off the ride it was time to meet the others at Main Street so they could walk over to California Adventure for their lunch reservations.
"Hey guys!" Marlene said as her group met up with Lily's.
"Hey, you guys ready to get going?" Lily asked, smiling at the four others.
"Godric yes, we're starving," Alice replied holding her stomach as it rumbled.
Everyone laughed and they started making their way toward the Ariel's Grotto restaurant. When they arrived Lily went up to the hostess and checked in. She was given a pager and was told that it would be about five to ten minutes before their table was ready.
A few minutes later the pager buzzed, notifying the group that their table was ready. They all stood up and made their way inside, following the hostess to a large table in the far right hand corner.
"The princesses will make their way around for autographs and pictures soon, can I start you guys off with something to drink?" The waitress who came up to our table asked after the hostess had seated us.
We gave her our drink orders before opening up the menus to see what we wanted to order. When she came back with the drinks we ordered and Lily got up to go to the bathroom to wash her hands with the rest of the girls.
While they were in the bathroom James called the waitress back over to the table, whispering something in her ear she nodded smiling and ran back to the kitchen to tell the cook.
"What was that all about?" Remus asked curiously, raising an eyebrow at James.
"You'll see," James replied. "Just don't bring it up when the girls come back, yeah?"
The guys nodded and they waited for the girls to get back before they all struck up a conversation about what else they could do while in California.
. . .
Lily had been surprised when the waitress had brought out an unrequested plate and had placed it right in front of her. She was even more surprised when she read what was on the plate and saw the ring in the middle of the glass shoe before turning to James who was bent on one knee beside her.
"Godric Lily, we get it," Sirius complained as he listened to Lily gush about the proposal for the hundredth time.
Remus hit him upside the head, shutting him up. "Quit your whining, Sirius. She's happy, she's just gotten engaged."
"Well she doesn't have to be so annoying about it," Sirius mumbled, rubbing the back of his head after Remus had hit it again.
Lily and James looked sickly in love, Lily sporting a brand new ring on her left ring finger and both of them sporting 'Just Engaged' buttons and wide smiles on their faces.
As they walked through the park hand-in-hand complete strangers and even cast members wished them congratulations on their engagement. The four walked back to Fantasyland to finish off the rides they had missed there before moving onto another section of the park.
Soon enough they had gone on every single ride and eventually left the park with their four other friends after watching the fireworks. The group got back in their cars and drove back to the beach house.
