Vacation Post #4: Character Breakfast

All Audrey wanted to do in Florida was see Mickey Mouse. And Goofy. And Donald. And every other character that she knows! I figured one way that we would be guaranteed to see at least a few of those characters was to go to a character meal. I tried two months in advance to get a reservation at Chef Mickey's, but I didn't have any luck. So I made a reservation for breakfast at the Cape May Cafe instead...where Goofy, Donald and Minnie were scheduled to appear.

The Cape May Cafe was a great way to start our Disney day. They had a big buffet with lots of options for both kids and adults (including Mickey Mouse waffles). And of course, the highlight for Audrey was seeing all the characters! They made sure that all three characters stopped by every table for every person that was there. It was impressive.

Minnie stopped by our table first. All of the characters were wearing beach clothes, so Minnie wasn't wearing her traditional polka dot dress and bow. Audrey thought this was actually Mickey Mouse...so we just keep letting her think that!

Next up was Donald Duck...he got right down on Audrey's level, making for the best photo opp of the day!
Goofy was the last one to appear. And I think Goofy is Audrey's favorite. She was very concerned that he was not wearing his hat (in the cartoon he usually wears a hat). Goofy sat down at the table with her. He picked up her fork, put a grape on it, flew it around like an airplane and fed it to her. This might possibly have been the highlight of Audrey's whole trip. She keeps talking about Goofy and the grape!
She gave Goofy a big kiss on his nose. This picture cracks us up...arms thrown back, head tilted up, eyes closed...she was all about this kiss!
