Disney World - Day 2

Saturday morning started early - we had reservations for the Chef Mickey's character breakfast at 7:30! It was either that or 9:45, and the kids couldn't wait to eat that long plus we wanted to get started on our day!! Luckily we didn't have to go far to get to the restaurant since it was in our hotel.

The food was really good...I mean, you can't do too badly with a breakfast buffet in my opinion. It's my favorite meal of the day! Charlotte enjoyed her Mickey Mouse waffles and I believe she also ate a donut (or two). Not to worry, she also had some fruit! I think she would have been happy just eating breakfast, but no, extra large costumed mice, dogs and ducks dancing to loud music and swinging napkins above their heads had to come on by and TERRIFY her! She was clinging to me, or whoever else was nearby, so tightly. When the music stopped and things were a bit calmer, she was more at ease. Still not a big fan of the characters, but she was able to give many of them high fives at a safe distance and I handled getting her autograph books signed. Her cousin Madeline LOVED it and was in awe the whole time. Gabriel (whom Charlotte calls "Bagel") was mildly interested in the characters, but certainly not scared.

After breakfast we briefly returned to the room to regroup, and then headed to the monorail so we could get to The Magic Kingdom! We wandered down Main Street USA (one of my favorite parts of the whole park...just think it is so cute and fun), then walked through the castle towards all the rides we wanted to hit. Charlotte's first Disney ride was Dumbo, and she seemed to enjoy it. We also went on the tea cups, visited Mickey's Toontown and rode Small World.



I think the highlight of Charlotte's day was getting to meet Winnie the Pooh and Tigger! She was not afraid of these guys at all. I think since she had seen them on TV and in books before, she was more comfortable with them than she was with Mickey and Co.

After our exciting morning, we headed back to the hotel to get Charlotte a nap. We ended up back at Magic Kingdom for dinner - hoping to go to Tony's sit down restaurant but ended up eating hot dogs at Casey's outside in the cold! Oh well, next time we'll be sure to make reservations for EVERY night of our stay ahead of time. Those restaurants get booked up fast!
