Monday morning we started our Disney vacation in pure Disney-style! We had a character breakfast at the Cape May Restaurant at the Beach Club Resort on Disney property. We got to eat a yummy breakfast spread while Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy visited our table. It was a great way for me to get introduced to the characters in a calmer setting. I was a little unsure at first, but when each one made their second (and third!) visits to our table, I was much more comfortable. I started to figure out how to give them my autograph book and pen, let them sign, the pose for a picture.
In the lobby of the resort was an incredible gingerbread carousel. And everyone knows how much I love carousels! It was amazing!
Then we drove to Downtown Disney, parked, and took a bus to Disney's Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM Studios). I've never been on a bus before, so I enjoyed that. I held onto the pole very tightly!
At Hollywood Studios, Aunt Emily and Mommy took me to walk through the Pixar Studios section while Daddy, Grannie, Paw-Paw, and Parin rode the Tower of Terror. I was too small for it, and Aunt Emmy and Mommy were too scared! When they asked me who I wanted to see next, probably meaning a Disney character, I said "Jesus!" Well, low and behold, the three of us found Baby Jesus! I was very excited!
We caught up with the others and all saw the Hollywood Studios Block Party Parade. I really enjoyed that a lot! Buzz Lightyear, Mike & Scully, the bugs from A Bug's Life, and lots of toys were dancing through the streets. We even saw Mr. Potato Head!
We saw a few shows, took the Backstage Tour, then saw some incredible dancing Christmas lights. After the lights, we caught the last showing of the Muppets 3D Spectacular. It was a great day!
