So we dont even have time for our first trip to the food, because here comes Goofy!!!
I was very excited as this was Joshs first character interaction! We started his brand new autograph book( we being me, he was a little creeped out at first by characters) and Goofy slid in right next to us for a nice photo.
Coming up right behind him was Donald. He was unimpressed with Joshs new ears though.
And a lovely photo with Andrea and John
Now here was the big moment, Mickey himself was coming up, right behind us. I was so excited I could have burst. Mickey was very sweet. Andrea made sure to congratulate him on his finishing the marathon, as he was wearing his metal. He was very excited that she had noticed.
We didnt have time to even thing about hitting the buffet between any of the characters. We had arrived early, and they had been able to get us in without a wait at all. This means that we were able to see everyone, eat and be done in less than an hour. I dont think we could have planned that any better.
Anyway after Meeting the big cheese, Josh was really warming up to the characters!
I even got him to get up and greet Pluto!
I love the way that Pluto signs books, on his nose and all. He even gave ours a kiss!
Next came the leading lady, I decided to shake things up a bit, and have a girls only picture!
This is also the first time that Minnie made a move on my man. Several time during the trip she asked him to marry her.
As Minnie departed we were all about starving! I was excited to hit the buffet line, and headed over with everyone. As we were getting our plates (mine loaded with breakfast pizza YUM, I have no idea why it is that I am so crazy about it, but I cant seem to find one that comes close to it at home!) the woman behind us started chatting with Andrea. She asked us what we were celebrating, and Andrea explained that Josh and I were there to get married. She look at my sister and exclaimed rather loudly She cant get married, she looks like she is 12. I walked away to leave Andrea to clean that mess up. I went and found myself a few strips of bacon, man do I love me some pig!
We got back to the table and I made it clear that I would be taking photos of food. Here is Josh with his very first Mickey waffle!
We went with the dinning plan this trip, but chose not to use a credit on this breakfast. It worked out to be much better to do this one out of pocket, and save those credits for the yummy things to come!
I must say I was very disappointed in the coffee that morning. It was very watery, and didnt have much flavor. I would rather have really bad coffee, than really weak coffee!!! The characters were ok, nothing too great, and they came really close together, so it almost felt like we had to be getting ready to greet the next one, before the one we were greeting left!
Coming up: our first day in Magic Kingdom: why is it still Christmas in January, and the quest to buy kitchen items begins!
