Disney World - meeting Mickey and Minnie!

We decided to skip the 45 minute line to see Donald, Pluto, & Goofy or the princesses. We really didn't expect for Kaelyn to get to see Minnie or Mickey up close. We were walking behind them when we first got through the gates in the park. They were going in to the "character breakfast". We thought Kay just wanted to climb the steps (that they had gone up) but she got up them and went running after them and tried pulling on the door that they had walked into. (It was actually a little sad from a mommy's perspective). Anyway, we walked through Mickey's house and got in this line that we thought went to see Mickey. Kevin said, "I don't think it's actually going to be them in person. I think it's going to be a movie or something because the line is moving too fast." But the more I heard people around us talking, the more I thought she would get to see them. Come to find out there are actually several rooms with Mickey & Minnie. (I don't know how many). They were taking 6 family groups at a time into the room where they were at. Well, we happened to be the last ones in line for our group of people. Once we got in the room and Kay could see Mickey and Minnie she was having fits that we wouldn't let her go. She did not understand the "wait your turn" concept at all! As soon as it was our turn, we put her down and she went running up to them. She hugged Minnie great big. We couldn't believe it given the fact that she's not normally that outgoing. They take pics. that you can buy later but they also let you video or take pics. and they will take pictures on your camera for you. We actually went back later because she was begging - "May I please go to disney world and see Mickey Mouse?" (even though we were already at Disney World). I think that made our whole day that she got to see them, hug them and get her picture taken with them!

The three of us with Minnie and Mickey (we
could hardly get her to look away from them
long enough to get a good picture!)


After a few hours of doing stuff for her, we got
on the train that goes around the park. She laid
down on my lap and was out in no time. She
slept for a couple of hours despite being moved
around into and out of her stroller and on and off
other rides. (She had only gotten about 6 hours of
sleep the night before!)


We had already eaten lunch while she slept so a
little while before the 3:00 parade we got her some
lunch and woke her up. Here she is eating her lunch
while we waited for the parade.
