So...first things first. I have a confession to make. I totally lied to you all on my last post.
I had told you all that we had told Emma that we were eating breakfast with Pooh and Pals. Well...one teensy weensy little problem. I got my days mixed up when writing. Somehow, some of my pictures got mixed up, and that confused my brain a tad (which is not at all hard to do!)
This particulary day, we would be eating LUNCH with Mickey and the Gang today. Now that we have that little bit of info cleared up, let's get on with the next part of our day.
As I had said in the last post, we had just gotten our picture taken in front of the castle. It was still really early at this point. The park had not yet opened for the general public, but it was just about to. We decided that we would taken in a few things on Main Street before it got busier, so Emma and I did some "window shopping"
After looking in the windows for a bit, Emma decided it was time to see some characters. My trusty iPhone told me that Princess Tiana was about to come out soon, so we strolled over to Liberty Square to wait for her to appear. While we waited, Daddy got us our first set of cards so we could try our hand at Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom.
After virtually no wait at all, we finally got to meet Princess Tiana.
Princess Tiana was PERFECT. The accent was totally beautiful, and she was so so pretty!
After meeting her, we started toward Adventureland to try to meet some more characters. My app told me that Peter Pan was out, and so was Ariel and Prince Eric. Unfortunately, none of them were out.
Not a problem though! There were fairies to see!
Now, this is where we started to tell that it was getting busy. The line to see Tinkerbell and her fairy friends was really long. We waited about 45 minutes to get in. The wait was definitely worth it though!
First up, was Rosetta:
Rosetta was sweet as sugar, and her Southern Accent was so cute!
Next up was Tinkerbell!
Tinkerbell was very sweet too, but interaction with her seemed a little rushed to me. Maybe it's just because she was in full Tinkerbell mode, and was talking a mile a minute.
All in all, meeting the fairies was so much fun! Emma was excited to finally get to meet them! We had missed them on our previous trip, so both M&G's that morning were new for her.
The crowds were rearing their ugly heads at this point. Emma decided that she wanted to ride The Magic Carpets, so we went over and got in line. This is a ride that we had never waited on. Last year, every time we rode it, it was walk on. NOT TODAY! We waited for around 35 minutes to ride!
The line snaked around in spots that I never knew existed for a line to be there. It was definitely a strange feeling.
Here we are patiently waiting for our turn:
After flying over Agrahba, we sauntered over to Jungle Cruise. The posted wait was 45 minutes.
We decided to skip it for now, because we'd get a chance to ride it later on anyway.
It was starting to get close to lunch time at this point, so we started out toward the front of the park. We finally made it to the monorail, and hopped on the one headed to the Contemporary.
We were going to Chef Mickey's today for lunch! It was still early enough, that they were still serving breakfast there, so I guess it was more of a brunch.
We checked in at the podium and were directed over to the Mickey statue to get our picture made. I still haven't gotten my photopass CD, so I have no pictures of this yet.
After cheesin' with Mickey, we had a seat to wait for our table to become ready.
In no time at all, our table was ready and we were seated at a table on the right side of the restaurant. We could see MK from the window we were seated at. I tried to take pictures of it, but my camera kept focusing on the bugs on the window instead of what I wanted it to focus on.
I'll spare you the random pictures of bug guts that I have.

You'll find the link down there in my siggy. I hope you'll follow me over there and join in on the fun! 
Sounds like you did have a great HS day. We did F!, but just weren't that crazy about it. It was just mass hysteria getting in and out of the theatre, and then the show scared 2 out of 3 of my kids. We probably won't do it again. 
We got there early enough that the street lights were still on. We walked up and were first in line at one of the turnstiles, too! YAY!!! 
There didn't seem to be too many people out and about this morning, so I was optimistic that the crowds wouldn't be too bad. We hadn't encountered many yet, so I was hoping it would stay that way.
Then it was time for the Haunted Mansion! 
I didn't get pictures of any of the food except for our two salads and our two entrees. I was a bit distracted during this meal. You'll see why soon.
