Well it's been two whole months since I last updated my Trip Report. Part of the reason for that is the next day to report on was my Birthday. It was a tough day for me emotionally. But I don't want to leave my TR half finished so here I am to work through it!
June 14th! My Birthday. The reason I was in DL in the first place had arrived. I woke up to my phone dinging like crazy with Birthday Well wishes on Facebook.
the plan for the day was to start with an early morning character breakfast at Minnie's Breakfast in the Park. Minnie's is a favorite of mine and since it was a Magic Morning I could get in before the park actually opened. Another DISer (Disney_Alli) was also at DL celebrating her Birthday and had made reservations for the character meal. We had talked and figured we could combine our reservations and then we would be able to help each other with pictures.
we planned to meet at the gate right at 7am. Unfortunatly the hotel I was staying at while it had a free shuttle it's earliest departure was 7am so I had to ind another way to DL. I had thought about taking the bus but I was kinda leary so I elected to take a taxi instead.
I arrived to find a long line at the baggage claim but it moved quickly. Once at the gate to enter for the breakfast Allison was not there yet so I texted her that I would meet her by Town Hall as I wanted to get a new birthday button. (apparently sunscreen does a good job of removing Sharpie from the buttons) However just before I was going to enter Allison showed up so we went in together!
We quickly got my new button and then headed to The Plaza. We checked in (and I think confused the hostess since we each had separate reservations...) We did both decline the entrance photo. I knew I wasn't going to purchase it so figured why bother with it.
Soon we were seated and the characters began to come by! I told Allison we should switch Camera's so that she had pictures of her on her own camera and I had pics of myself! Somehow I still ended up with some pics of her but still got a decent amount of myself!
Starting at the very beginning is one of her!

And another visit from Rafiki!
We told him he had bed head and really needing to come his hair!
So he borrowed Allison's brush and tried to brush it out but it didn't work so well!
Fairy Godmother graced us with a visit.
Next up was Eeyore!
To be continued!!
The pics of you with Rafiki are great! lol
...... I can understand the not wanting to be by myself.....Disney needs to be shared with someone!! (of course I'm doing a solo thing so I can go camera crazy for the holiday stuff.....but it's my plan, so should do ok). I'm trying to remember, this was your LOOOOONNNNNGGGG trip right?? As much as I love DL, not sure I could handle being there (and away from the family) for more than a week at a time.
