jbrown-family: Chef Mickey's

As mentioned, we had early reservations for Chef Mickey's. So, despite it being a late night, we were all up early Wednesday morning. The boys had some surprises waiting for them when they woke up. They each received an autograph book, a pressed penny book with a tube of coins, and a water bottle.

Once we were all ready, we headed to the Contemporary Resort for breakfast with the Fab Five (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto)!

Pretty much as soon as we were seated, they started singing and dancing and asking everyone to swing their napkins around. (By the way, if you look in the background, you can see Cinderella's castle!)

Westyn was ready to eat!

But before we knew it, Goofy came over to visit! We were so out of sorts and not ready (a huge character dining faux paux) that we only ended up with a few awkward photos with Garytt's favorite character...bummer!

Mickey was next to come to our table...Westyn looked shocked.

e had a better luck with photos.

Next, we met Donald, Westyn's favorite character!

Shira was particularly excited to meet Minnie.

Last, but not least, was Pluto, who definitely has a challenging job when signing autographs.

As Garytt and I were posing for a quick photo, the characters and servers were dancing and singing Happy Birthday and delivering cupcakes to various tables...and I received a birthday cupcake! (Since we were visiting Disney during the Christmas season and for Mickey's Christmas party, someone decided that I should get to have a special birthday cake with Mickey and the gang...although no one will take credit for the fun...ha!)

By then, it was about time to go. However, the server mentioned at the beginning if somehow one of the characters didn't make it around to let her know. So, since we had such disappointing pictures with Garytt's main man, Goofy, I asked her if there was any way he could come back. She said she would take care of it. We were able to meet him over by the buffet to get pictures!
