This morning we had another very early meeting time of 7am in the lobby. We were headed for Disneyland so no one seemed to mind the early hour too much. We followed the paddle & were soon being checked in at a side gate to go on in to the Magic Kingdom.
I like this shot of the California letters without people in the way as they will be going away with the California Adventures Layover.
You know you are really there when you see the Train Station.
This sign says it all doesn't it?
It was really cool to be the first guests in the park. I was just taking pictures & marveling at the quietness of the place.
Let's take a stroll up Main Street together.
The Firestation where we would be going later today to see Walt's apartment.
The HUGE Christmas tree
Detail of the tree
Cars & a cutie on Main Street.........
How cute is Santa making the popcorn?
The hub uncrowded
We got to the castle & were all able to get pictures without people in them. I was one of the last ones there because I was trying to take photos of the quiet early morning on Main Street.
So we needed to head on over to our Minnie & Friends breakfast at the Plaza Inn.
What a beautiful restaurant & the cool thing about it is that some of the elements in the restaurant come from a 1870 Victorian mansion called the St James mansion that Walt bought in Los Angeles. The cut glass front door is one of the items from the mansion.
My breakfast
Before long, characters started coming to visit us. The character interaction here was the best we had!!!!
Tigger was an absolute mess. This was the BEST Tigger I have ever seen. He WAS Tigger!!!! Bouncy & playful & fun, fun, fun. He stole the
ABD sign
Rabbit was pretty fun too. He took Eric's sunglasses off his shirt & put them on him.
Rabbit also wouldn't let Tigger back in when he went outside.
I went to the bathroom at one point & came back where Chip was sitting in my seat having a little chat with my DH. Wish I had the camera to get a picture of that as I came back.
How cute are Eeyore's ears over our heads.
How cute are these 3?
Kristin & Eeyore somehow got put outside too?
This photo shows better the room we were in, which they said Walt used to entertain guests in from time to time.
As we were getting ready to leave we also got a visit from the White Rabbit who of course was LATE, LATE, LATE!!!!!!!
