Breakfast with Winnie the Pooh, and Tigger Too!

While at Disney, we went to the Character Breakfast at the Grand Floridian, which is Disney's nicest property. I aspire to stay at the Grand Floridian one day, however, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get over paying for two nights hotel the same amount as I pay for my montly mortgage. But we still enjoyed a really nice breakfast. Meeting the characters was the best part, especially since they all came around to our table throughout the breakfast. Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Mary Poppins, Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter (not the scary Johnny Depp version) were there. We wondered where Mickey was, but I guess he had another engagement. At the park, there were lines an hour long to take your picture with the characters, so even though Mickey wasn't there, this was a super way to see the characters.

Brianne wasn't scared at all, and actually loved seeing the characters up close. She loved them so much that when she saw them across the restaurant, she raised her little hands over her head, as if she were saying "Hey, over here" and clapped. It was hysterical. And I think the Disney cast members got a kick out of her excitement, since almost all of them came to visit her two to three times (they visited the other tables only once).

Because of her love of Winnie the Pooh, we decided to make this the theme of her first birthday party, which will be here before you know it!

It was love at first site when Winnie the Pooh came around.


They had very deep conversations about life over breakfast.
