Hey there!
Good to know I haven't lost everyone after the long hiatus!
The pumpkins are a fun little detail and we loved finding them all over Main Street.
Stay tuned - there's a couple more we noticed on the way out!

When we last left ye, we had found our way into the heart of the Mouses Kingdom but needed some grub before pressing on.
We stopped at a galley with a view of the Castle and prepared to plunder our fill.
The menu boded well for me and me crew could use a fine feast before heading off into the lands of this Kingdom.
The staff of the establishment was getting their daily instructions.
Probably a warning that scallywags such as us were sighted in the Kingdom.
And then four large, colorful creatures made their way into the galley.
Good thing we werent in yet those creatures looked ravenous and may be feasting on the patrons!
Inside was an homage to the creatures for this was their galley.
Much like a dragon and his den, this was the hall of the Yellow Bear and his friends.
The first to appear round the corner was the pink creature.
Oversized to us, but the smallest of the Bears party, this Piglet didnt pose much of a threat.
In fact, our Pirate Princess even went so far as show the creature some stickers she had collected.
Before the First Mate joined her for a portrait
Our Fair Maiden could not resist the allure of this Pink Piglet either.
Once he departed, a bouncing orange and black blur streaked past.
However, it was distracted by something at the door.
It seems a little one had gotten loose and was trying to sneak in the back entrance.
Tigger was on to the little tike and decided to pay him a visit!
Then the beast bounced back to our table to engage with the Princess and the First Mate
And dont forget the Capn!
With a break in the action, I took my leave and ordered the cook to make his specialty at gun point.
We were then served some of the finest chocolate chip pancakes in the shape of the Mouse in all of the land!
And, of course with the pancakes must come the waffles of the same mold
The Captains platter consisted of an omelette (also special ordered at gunpoint) and some lox.
While Little X feasted on the remains of that Pink Piglet BACON!!!

Then it was time for that Silly Ol Bear.
He snuck up on the Princess catching her totally off guard!
But the Princess also wanted a Big Bear Hug
And the Bear even got down and bowed to me lady showing her the proper respect her lordship deserves.
Then it was time for the First Mate.
Have you ever seen a smile as big as this?
This creature is by far our Mates favorite among the inhabitants of this Kingdom.
And he never smiles as large as when the Bear is around.
Its almost as if our ruthless second-in-command was actually a little boy.
Naaaaah.
But he definitely lights up the room when that Bear is around
And he cannot let the Bear get away without a big hug that is, a frontal assault!
And for the proprietor of this establishment, even X came a-runnin.
It so happens that this creature stuffed with fluff is the favorite of our Fair Maiden as well.
After the meetings, The Bear began a parade around the room beckoning for all the little ones to join him.
The princess was excited to partake in such an event.
The princess was then showered with gifts as a cupcake appeared at her place.
It was, after all, her birthday.
All in all, the meal was a success.
We all left with our bellies full and ready to take on this Kingdom of Magic.
But orders to depart were belayed as another of the creatures approached!
This one was a little more shy than the rest
But me crew was waiting with arms outstretched for this miserable ol donkey.
And, as X discovered, hes apparently very fuzzy as well.
Finally, we took our leave of the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood.
With a last farewell, our smiles were still bright!
But we had our mission for the day and the First Mate would not be deterred.
In fact, we were off in search of the bears tall tales.
Grab a hunny pot and tag along me hearties!

What a fun update! Starting a MK day with breakfast at the Crystal Palace can't be beatThe pictures are adorable! It's obvious your crew loves the 100 Acre Wood gang
It's definitely a tradition to get the earliest ADR at Crystal Palace on a non-EMH day in preparation for a great day at the MK!

Usually after our breakfast with the bear, we head off across the bridge into the Caribbean - a pirate's home away from home.
However, todays mission led us off to different lands.
The First Mate guided us towards the Castle and over a different bridge.
After a steep hill we arrived in the Land of Fantasies.
There to greet us was an old, jolly voodoo witch.
Unwary passerbys referred to her as the Fairy Godmother, but we knew better.
Nevertheless, we did not want to get on her bad side so our Pirate Princess engaged the foe.
Finally, after earning her trust, there were smiles all around.
While she distracted the guardian of this land, I stole away in search of treasure.
Indeed I found some by grabbing an elusive Pass of Fast for each member of me crew to Peter Pans Flight.
We heard tale of our breathren Captain Hook who was bested by this child and we had sworn our vengeance.
But that was for later.
Upon my return, I gathered me crew and we made our way to the Lair of the Bear.
Now that we had dined with the creature called Winnie the Pooh, we were off to plunder his wood.
In order to not be detected, we had to climb into large hunny pots.
I detest this sticky stuff but me crew was all for diving into the sloppy stuff.
There we were told the tale of the silly ol bear during a Blustery Day.
Around then the bouncing orange and black stripes made their appearance
Before we knew it, the tale ended.
It seems Pooh was the hero in the end and everyone rejoiced.
Then Pooh celebrated in the way only he can covering himself in a hunny similar to the stuff in our pot.
Finally, me and me crew emerged from the hunny pots and took our leave of the creatures of the Hundred Acre Wood.
For me princess had sighted mermaids nearby and we needed to investigate.
Hoist the sails and come along!
But take heed if those sirens of the deep try to lure us in .

Hi Family Cappel!! Just stopping by once again- this time to wish you a VERY Merry Christmas!!! I hope your day is filled with wonder and meaning- and it perfect in every way!
Also, wanted to let you know, that I AM reading along, just haven't had enough time to quote or comment so much- I am terribly behind in so many of the threads I follow, but I AM reading along. After our move (again!) I really hope to be a more dedicated reader and poster for you.

Good to know you are still here.
I was beginning to think we lost most of the gang once my computer fried and we went on hiatus.
Well, I hope to catch up a ton over the next week since I'm taking a week off to relax with the family.
And what better way to relax that dream of Disney vacations past.
And, of course, plan for the upcoming one - 28 DAYS TO GO!!!

Enjoy your day and the family time!
Thanks everyone!
We had a great day just lounging, watching movies, and playing games.
And, of course, we gathered round to watch the Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade!
Yeah Phineas and Ferb!!
And then we started our Disney Movie Countdown Double Feature - Holiday Edition which we'll finish up tomorrow:
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas
and
Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas
Two great holiday films with all the familiar Disney characters.
We look forward to them every year!
And to top it off, my lovely wife even bought me a "It's My Birthday!" Mickey and the Gang shirt to wear all day.
Here it is (along with my 3 Mikemas Elves)...
Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Yeah, but the snowstorm heading this way is a day late! After all, don't you want to be snowed in on Mikemas already?

Merry Christmas & Happy Belated Birthday!!!I'm all caught up again. We did not have that great a meal at Shutters either, we were stuck there during Hurricane Francis a few years back & from your experience, sounds like it hasn't gotten any better
You'd think they'd be doing something about that, I think overall WDW does a pretty good job with their restaurants but this one has been overlooked 
Loved the pic's at Crystal Palace. I think that is one of the "funnest" places to dine in all of WDW, right up there with Chef Mickey's in my book
Glad to see your little princess has a fun birthday celebration there. That's where I celebrated my birthday this year too 
After seeing your Nov 1 pic's, that is definantely the time to be at WDW it seems! One of these days I think we're going to have to book the MNSSHP and plan to be there after Halloween.
Looking forward to more

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a Happy, Merry Christmakwanzakkah!!! We've had a lovely holiday break so far! In fact, DH and the kids are watching one of our favorite Disney Holiday movies right now! Any guesses??
At this point in our TR I just had to pipe in to pay special tribute to the Fairy Godmother. Did you see the picture of her with DD?? In her beautiful shimmery blue robes and that GIANT pink bow??
Well, when the kids are all grown and these two Disney Fanatics retire to WDW, I WANT HER JOB!!! I think I would make a fabulous Fairy Godmother- don't you?
I keep trying to convince the family to do Cinderella for Halloween one year so that I can be the Fairy Godmother but the guys just won't go for it!
Sigh.
