SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC BREAKFAST

Saturday morning, before going into the Magic Kingdom, we had breakfast reservations at our hotel, THE GRAND FLORIDIAN. But not just ANY breakfast, but the SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC breakfast buffet! While you eat, Mary Poppins, Alice and the Mad Hatter, and Whiney the Poo and Tigger come around to your tables to sign autographs, take pictures and meet and greet with the young and old alike!

Now, I had raised my daughter to dislike Whiney the Poo and his crew. They are archtypal characters of all the wrong behaviors a child or person can have.

Whiney is a glutton.

Tigger needs Ridilin and Eoore needs Prozac (or vice versa, I get my psychiatric medications mixed up.)

Piglet is debilitatingly shy and Rabbit has OCD. 

Not a one character I would want her to emulate or, quite frankly, even be friends with.

Well, out comes Whiney the Poo and Joey's face drains in color. I had to explain to her that he had to be nice, he was in Disney and everyone has to be nice while they are in Disney. 

You can see, from the first picture, she didn't buy it easily. But she came around after seeing all the other kids like him and hug him.

Now my daughter seems to take delight in announcing that she DOES like Whiney and Tigger and Mommy doesn't but she does!

I can not recommend the character breakfasts enough. You can wait 20 minutes a piece, easy, per character, when you are in the parks. But when you do the character breakfasts, you get to eat a fabulous buffet, and the characters come to your table while you eat. No waiting, no lines, no wasted time, and more personal attention for your littlin'. 

Up close and personal with Alice in Wonderland.

The Mad Hatter was the best portrayed character we met all day. (I am including the Princesses from Cinderella's Royal Table in that assessment.) His voice was spot on, his mannerisms, his crossed eyes... he was spot on.

Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way.
