So I found out a week ago that a relative was going to Disney this coming week. They (mom, dad, 5yo girl, and the mom's aunt) just decided to take the trip around a month ago. Yeah, well as the dad says "if I knew then....". So I managed to snag them a breakfast one morning at Cape May so that they will have at least one guarenteed character interaction, but I'm not sure on which. Website says Minnie, Goofy, Donald. Anyone eaten there lately can tell me the current lineup?
I'm going to stalk the website for the next couple days looking for a resort/MK princess meal, or try to find out where the MK meets are.
At least they'll get to see the BC.
Hey I thought I'd give you the end to this post.
They got back last saturday.
They had a BLAST. The Dad said daughter (5 year old princess) had the best time ever. They did MK Wed and Fri. They took all the advice that I had gleaned from this board and had a plan. She saw all the princesess and the other big charecters (they did most of their time Wed doing meets) got to ride most of the Fantasy Land rides and really everything except Tomorrow land (splitting thier fast pass options into sets of two and taking turns with the little girl on as many rides as possible). Her favorite ride was BTMR. All she would talk about before the trip was meeting Minnie and Aurora and they were really afraid it would be too busy to give her a Disney experience that she was wishing for.
They got there early. Only one bag between the four of them so while one entered bag check the others, could go ahead and start the fp/line process. Timed out fp and non-fp rides to maximize thier fun. (I didn't know that after two hours you could get a new fastpass even if you're window hadn't opened on the ones you had, but I did give them the heads up to collect collect collect and use them later He might have given Dee a run for her money on the fp in hand from what he was telling me).
The breakfast at BC was the highlight of her trip. They were really impressed with the location Teena. Little girl was absolutly enchanted with the breakfast and resturant and meeting Minnie. He said it was worth every penny to see her face.
The only thing is they want to go again in 2013 after FLE is complete. He wants an onsite stay (they were at Wyndem Bonnet Creek, best price he could get since they only had a month to find rooms), and rent a car. He did not like being held hostage to the food prices at Disney and he said the hotel they were at was even worse. He also hated the shuttle system at Bonnet Creek (they used taxies for early arrival at park and ADR at BC) He just wanted a little more freedom to see Orlando and to eat other places. I've already told him that I'd help him plan and that he needed to join the Dis.
Thanks to you guys and all the tips I could give him they did a lot even though they were there at such a crowded time and had a very magical time. They were very sweet and bought me a little souvineer for helping them plan, but I told them how great everyone at the DIS was (expecially this thread) and that all of your knowledge made me seem like more of a pro than I really was.
Thank you guys, There's a 5 year old princess that had her dream come true for Christmas and you were a part of it.
