It's my Birthday & I Celebrated! Lots of photos, food and fun! Updated 9/23

[smile4stamps]

I left you off with that we were going to ride Matterhorn next but it was closed So instead we headed to Tomorrowland and Space Mountain!

The line said it was only 10 minutes and since all our other lines had been so short we thought it might even be less than that so we started to walk the line only to be stopped once inside the building. The line certainly looked longer than 10 minutes to me but we decided to just wait it out anyways. (I think SM got overflow from those not wanting to wait for ST after all.)

Some pics in the line...

I spy me a hidden Mickey (bad angle though!)

After about 20minutes it was our turn to ride!

At this point our MM was complete. We did a total of 5 rides plus waiting in line for SM. We could have done more of FL but I knew the other rides generally had shorter waits so I said we would come back to them another time.

From SM we headed to Buzz Lightyear for a Galactic Journey.

Neither of us scored very well!!

My friend thought I told her to get ready to TAKE a picture so she was getting her camera ready when in fact I said get ready for a picture!

After our time on Buzz we decided to head back towards Fantasyland to see if the Bobsleds were open yet and indeed they were! The Right side (Is the right the FL side or TL side... I can't figure it out?!?) had a shorter line so that is the side we rode! In fact when we got close they asked if there were any parties of 2 so we had even a shorter line!
(No pics though!)

After the Matterhorn Bobsleds we headed towards none other than It's a Small World!

Sail along with us won't you... (at least I can't torture you with the song on a pictorial ride!)

Silly Paula! Well, I'm looking forward to a new update!

I'm actually not sure what happened! I had in my phone I was working for someone else. It was approved that I would work for them during our Annual Vacation Planning. I guess I just didn't check the schedule when it came out as I had already put it in my phone...

So I only have 4 days of work this week instead of 5

Back in town and all caught up! Yay for the EXIT signs! How crazy to see Fantasyland so dead. Nothing like my solo MM when I managed to fit in a total of 4 rides that entire hour.

Yeah! Welcome!! I thought of you every time I took a light or exit sign picture lol!!

We actually only did 5 rides plus waiting for Space Mountain in our time but since we had no waits until SM it felt productive!

Hey, I was singing along with the photos from It's a Small World!

Haha, I was just going to say "Just because the song isn't playing, doesn't mean it's not going through our heads as we look at the pictures!" Lol.

Sounds like you had a great morning. Five rides isn't bad at all. A 20 minute wait for Space isn't too bad. It's my favourite ride though, so I'd wait close to an hour if I had to, lol.

Love the Buzz photo, that's awesome.

Hey, I was singing along with the photos from It's a Small World!

You singing along is different than my providing the song! I happen to have no issues with the song! I like the ride!

 

[Belle Ella]

If you say so Paula, if you say so!

 

[smile4stamps]

I didn't have enough room in my last post for all my It's a Small World photos so here are a few more from the outside area...

After we disembarked from It's a small world it was probably about 9:30am and we had a 10am Reservation at Minnie's and Friends. Therefore we had a little more time for another ride so it was back through Fantasyland to Pinnochio!!!!

A little blurry!!

And now its time for some breakfast with Characters!!!

 

[Belle Ella]

Ooh! You spoil us Paula! And I saw Honest John, awesome. Can't wait to hear about M&F!

 

[kaoden39]

Paula, the song is now running a loop in m head.

Ooh! You spoil us Paula! And I saw Honest John, awesome. Can't wait to hear about M&F!

If my headache ever goes away today you may get even more spoiled!!

Paula, the song is now running a loop in m head.

You are Welcome!

 

[Belle Ella]

Aww, should I start to come up with a "go away Paula's headache" chant?

 

[DisneyStitch626]

I am not completely sure, but I don't think chanting normally helps headaches! But I do hope that it goes away for you soon Paula. Headaches suck! Especially on your day off.

 

[Belle Ella]

Hey, don't know my chants Andrea!

 

[smile4stamps]

Aww, should I start to come up with a "go away Paula's headache" chant?

Its almost gone (I hope) I've had it since I got up today... I didn't sleep very well since my body thought I was going to be at work lol.

I am not completely sure, but I don't think chanting normally helps headaches! But I do hope that it goes away for you soon Paula. Headaches suck! Especially on your day off.

Yeah... chanting might not do it very good. Silent chanting may work though lol.
The good news is at least I have 2 days off instead of just the one I thought!!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

An unexpected day off is always a welcoming bonus!

 

[Belle Ella]

Well, I was planning on saying the chant far away so you couldn't hear it. Maybe I already am ... Gotta love 2 days off though, even if you got all into work mode. I can't count how many times I've done that!

It was finally time for our Minnie & Friends Breakfast! I was so excited for this meal as I had so much fun there on my October trip. I figured it would be even more fun sharing it with Kim!

We checked in (I'm guessing Right on time!) and had our photos taken. I'm not sure why I bothered with the photos as I knew I wouldn't be purchasing it. We were then shown the buffet and to our table.

When we first sat down it didn't look like there were any characters in our area so we went to grab some food!

I enjoyed everything except the ham. Notice how dried out it looks? Yeah.. I didn't even bother trying it!

Our first guest was Dale!

Kim was wondering why I had picked up my camera!

This time with the eyes Open!

Dale and Kim had a lot of fun!

And then finally it was my turn to visit with Dale!

Next up was a visit from Max

And again not any characters nearby so time for more food!

Yes I LOVE the bacon!!! And you can't do a breakfast at DL without a Mickey Waffle!

Then it was a visit from Rafiki! (Kim was afraid he would mess up her hair again!)

And for some unknown reason Rafiki bypassed me!!! Oh well... we had seen him the night before at Goofy's!

And then it was time for a character I had not seen before! Pete the Penguin! (and yes I had to look at his autograph to know that!)

In the room next to us there was a Character Traffic Jam!

Eeyore made it out of the Jam and eventually found his way to us!

Next it was time for another character who had made his way out of the Jam... And a first for me!!

Mr. Foulfellow!

He was our final character for the morning... As you can tell not as many this time as my previous visit... The characters also were not as interactive... Except for Dale! And we saw Minnie but she didn't even stick around long enough for any Pictures!!

 

[Belle Ella]

Can I just pretend that he's inviting me to join the picture?

OK, so sorry it wasn't the best as far as character interaction. I wonder why I always find Dale to be one of the tops in that area. I think the biggest bummer for me would have been the Hostess not sticking around long enough for a photo. But you saw Pete! That's awesome. I keep hoping one day either he or the White Rabbit will show while I'm there.

Sure Jessica! You can pretend he is inviting you to join us!

It was a great time regardless! Seeing White Rabbit would be Awesome though! I think I need to make a list of characters i need to visit with yet and try and search them out in October!

 

[Belle Ella]

Hey, at least in October you'll have a few you wouldn't be able to see during the rest of the year!
