Oh my goodness! How funny that you are visiting "Texas Aunt" too! What a small world!! HA! Ok advice, for character meals, we love Goofy's Kitchen the best! Best food and awesome Character interaction! This is the biggest buffet and the PBnJ pizza is not to be missed!! Get there for the first seating if you can and the characters will stop by your table TONS! Goofy even walked our kids hand in hand to our table and danced with them!Our second favorite character breakfast is Minnie and Friends at the Plaza! We just did Minnie's for Breakfast for our now 3 year old's Birthday in October and it was wonderful! Even though it was crowded they all made a huge deal over her and she had an amazing time!! Although the food selection is less here, it is all still really good and their omelet bar is wonderful, lots of fresh veggies! The best part about this place is the Characters! There are always SO many! They come by non-stop if it's busy or not! It's also really nice to schedule first seating here on a day that the park has the magic morning, but you don't have to use yours! You get to get in when the magic morning crowd does since you have a ressie and by the time you are done eating, there usually still is a little bit of time before the rest of the crowds flood into the park, so you get a little head start! I would definitely say YES for BBB!! We have done it for our little girls and they LOVED it so much! What a truly magical experience! I definitely think BBB is better than the disney 365 as far as magic quota goes! So fun! The magic mirror effect at the end is amazing! You can also bring your own dress if you'd like and they will just put it right into the dressing room for you!! As far as celebrating your anniversary, I would HIGHLY recommend taking your kiddos to Pinocchio's Workshop at the Grand Californian!! http://www.mouseplanet.com/akrock/ak010706.htm. It's SUPER fun for kids and then you can have a date night! For your dinner, I cannot recommend enough doing Napa Rose Chef's counter! The hubs and I are foodies and have eaten at some wonderful places, but Napa Rose chef's counter is BY FAR the best place we have ever eaten! It is like dinner AND a show! You get to belly up to the kitchen and watch the masters at work! Andrew Sutton was even there serving us when we went! The food is so, SO incredible! You get four courses and you can pair it with a wine flight if you want too! It took us three hours to get through everything and I will never forget it! One of the most amazing experiences of my life! We were also celebrating my Birthday AND our anniversary and they treated us extra special with dessert and extra goodies to go!! It is truly an experience not to be missed!!
Thanks so much! I am looking forward to not super planning like I do for WDW, but certain things are good to be aware of!
Have a fantastic time and thanks again for the wonderful advice!
