Our day started with a character breakfast at Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club hotel. To be honest, this was probably the worst service we received all week. Disney is known for their stellar service and this was subpar. The food however was great. It was a buffet and the buffet was filled with yummy food for all.
Gotta love the Mickey waffles!
This breakfast had Minnie, Donald and Goofy. She enjoyed seeing all three. It makes me laugh thinking back because I always felt the need to talk to the characters. I thought I needed to tell them something Paige liked about them or just a story about themselves from either their show (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) or their movie. We told Donald about "Donald of the Desert" and Daisy about how she was on Paige's crocs and how they didn't have a Donald available (that is why he wasn't on the other croc). I know these characters had to think I was crazy but it seemed to work.
I guess we all need to take time to stop and smell the flowers.
Ready to go back out. She cracked me up doing this (on more than one occasion). She would go and put herself in the stroller and tell us she was ready to go. This time she happened to be "ready" with no shoes. Silly girl!
After breakfast we went back to the hotel and just chilled until early afternoon. From there we headed over to Epcot. Go figure Paige fell asleep on the boat ride over and all through park for about 2 hours. This gave us time to stroll through the World Showcase and Brad got to ride Mission Space. The plan was to stay at Epcot and head back early so we would be rested up for the remainder of the trip, but by dinner time Paige was ready to go back and "ride Buzz" and "ride Pooh". Being the suckers that we are we said, ok and took the monorail over to the Magic Kingdom to ride a couple of rides. She loved getting to ride the monorail and sang "All the Aboard the Choo Choo Train" (Disney channel people will know the song) almost the entire way there. It is a good thing there weren't many people in the cabin with us. We decided it would be fun to take the monorail back and walk through Epcot one last time. She wanted to stop and see more characters (and of course we said yes) and this put us back at our hotel right at 10 pm. So much for the uneventful day!
One neat thing we got to experience was the Extra Magic Hours at Epcot. We had wondered how they worked and how they kept non-resort people off the rides and out of the park. In case you didn't know, here is what they do - you have to show your room key to get in the park if you enter during the Extra Magic Hours. Then you have to show it again when you go to get on a ride or for us, get in the character line. Pretty interesting!
