I really love Chef Mickeys. I thought the food and the atmosphere were both fun. Looks like you guys had a great time!!

We did have a great time Katie!! Chef Mickey's was a hit with our family!

what a great start to the day--you and the girls looked so happy

Thanks Shannon! My girls were in heaven!!

OH, those pictures give me chills. We didn't go to CM's last time, and I just can't wait to go. Minnie is my absolute favorite. I LOVE her!

Your girls are just precious!!

Thank you Shannon! Minnie was my favorite at CM! She was sooo much fun!

How fun, now I know why the twirling napkins happens. hehe.
So cute all the pictures you got.
And how fun that you met a DISer

Hee hee!! Thank you! Yes, Julie was the 5th DISer we met on our trip!

I love this! A perfect Disney moment.

Thanks Lessa! I love it, too!!

This picture gave me chill bumps.

did you guys get park hoppers?

Thanks!! We did not get Park Hoppers. Our travel agent suggested that we not since we have small children and it was our first trip in awhile.

Hi Becky! LOVE all the CM pics, they came out too cute!! I love that Claire looking at the character in each picture, she was in awe...adorable!!! And I think you're right, Pluto's head does look a little weird!! LOL!! Love the girls outfits and bows, you are all so coordinated so well!!!

Thank you Kristen! Claire is just cracking me up in all those pics--she really was in awe of the characters!

GREAT PICS!! Claire is sooo cute and Ally and Mickey my fav...

Thanks! That pic is one of my favs as well!!

I totally agree with Jackie... how awesome you caught it!

I just love the fourth floor of the Contemporary--- great shops, great atmosphere. Can't wait to see the Fairy Pics!

Thanks so much Laura!! I was thrilled that I caught her expression on camera! Yes, the Contemporary was very nice--very modern!

Becky--the pic of Ally and Mickey is so heavenly She looked so happy! Great shot. We want to try Chef Mickey when we go back..do you suggest it? Can't wait to see the next update! Unfortunately, I have had no time to update while here at the beach. I guess I did not realize how hard it would be to keep a 1 1/2 year old out of the ocean and off the balcony We are having a great time though, can't wait to get back and post about it

 

[Happy Elf]

Great pictures from Chef Mickey's! Ally's expression with Mickey is priceless, that is a wonderful picture!

 

[leamom2princesses]

Hi Becky! Cute update! I wish our experience at CM was a good as yours. We did dinner though so that may be the big difference. We may have to try breakfast next time. It was so bad though that I don't know if I can talk the crew into going back.

Thank you Katie!! Yes, I would definitely suggest it for breakfast!! I miss your updates but I'm glad that your enjoying yourself at the beach! You have plenty of time to update when you get home! When will you be returning home? Can't wait to see pics of your trip! TTYS!

Great pictures from Chef Mickey's! Ally's expression with Mickey is priceless, that is a wonderful picture!

Thanks Janell!! It's good to hear from you!

Thanks Leanne!! Oh no! I'm so sorry you had a bad experience. That stinks!

Hi and welcome to my TR!! Thank you! Actually some one on the Creative DIS board created the invitations for me. Glad you're joining in!!

Love the CM update! That's coming up next on my TR and I can't wait to post about it. That pic of Mickey and Ally is just priceless!

 

[klacey1]

The picture of Ally and Mickey after he surprised her should be an ad for Disney. Precious isn't the word!
My DBF is trying to watch Hunt for Red October and I keep bothering him with this TR-- "Look at these outfits, babe!" "How adorable are these kids???" Haha

 

[Sunset Cliffs]

I'm finally caught up. Sorry that it took so long. You take fabulous pictures! I love seeing all of the pictures to go along with the TR.

Just a few comments. The rain....OMGoodness! You were such troopers to keep going through that!

I love the pic of Ally being suprised by Mickey. What a priceless moment that you caught on camera. I was never sold on character meals until we did one on our trip recently. Now I see what the fuss is all about!

 

[kaysmommie]

Great updates Becky! I love the pics with the pooh characters and the ones from CM too. Ally looks so happy in all the pics, just adorable! Looks like Claire loved Mickey and Minnie too. AT Tusker house breakfast you were lucky to get even one picture without the characters walking away. CM is usually quick but sufficient. Seems like you get more character time if you wait in those long lines than at the meals. I can't wait for your next update .

Thanks Meghan!! Oooh--can't wait to read your experience and perspective on CM!!

Awww!! Thank you so much! That means a lot to me! Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you!! Yes, we did 5 character meals on our trip and they were all AMAZING in different ways!! There's nothing like them!!

Thank you Nichole! That is just sooo disappointing about Tusker House! My SIL and her family are eating there Sunday morning--it's the only character meal they're doing on their trip this next week. I'm praying they aren't disappointed! They are paying OOP as they aren't on the DDP (tried to talk them into it and so did Brent). It's such a shame!

Love the Chef Mickey's pictures! The one of Claire clapping when she saw Mickey is just too cute!! Maddie claps when Mickey comes on tv - during the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse intro - so, I'm hopeful she'll love him in person!

Thank you Emily!! Awww!! Claire does the same thing when Mickey Mouse Clubhouse comes on! She just ADORES Mickey! I hope Maddie likes him in person, too!! You'll be finding out very soon!!

I hope your SIL and her family are not disappointed in Tusker House. At least the food is really good there. But I guess most character breakfasts are. Tusker House is a bad choice for character interaction. I knew before we went from reading other TR, so it wasn't a huge surprise. I agree SIL should have done the DDP, it's so convenient also it is the one thing Tommy loves in Disney .
