Last night before we retired, I took a princess Belle dress I had ordered from Ebay for Annie out of my suitcase and hung it up by our coats in the hotel room. I was going to surprise her. When she got up this morning, she found the dress hanging there. She was ecstatic. We told her that Tinkerbell must have left it for her since it didn’t fit Pres or me and Hudson didn’t like yellow dresses. She put the dress on and I did her hair up “just like Belle”.

This morning we had reservations for a character breakfast at Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. This character breakfast is usually booked 3 months in advance. I called 2 days before we got here and was able to get a reservation, as someone had just cancelled.
We had planned to leave our hotel at 7:30 just in case we got lost. Getting lost for us is a given. At least now we can blame our GPS. When the GPS says to take the next exit and you don’t listen, I personally think it’s your own fault, but what do I know? We overslept, of course, and had to drive like hell. We made it in plenty of time.
Who can resist a Mickey Mouse shaped waffle!

Finally, we get in the picture.

Annie is staring out the window. She’s just discovered that she can see “the castle” from the restaurant. Notice her pretty hair. We stopped in a gift shop and found this pony tail with pretty ribbons in it that matched her hair.

After the breakfast, we walked around the Contemporary Resort. Guess what the kids found!? Pressed penny machines were all lined up like slot machines.
We found out that other Disney resorts also had pressed penny machines. Since the monorail runs right through the Contemporary Resort, we jumped on and rode to 2 other resorts and found more pennies.
We asked the monorail driver if we could sit up front with him. He not only let us sit with him, he gave the kids each monorail operating licenses. Maybe they will come in handy some day when they are out looking for work!

After our monorail hotel tours, we went back to the hotel for some swimming. The pool was freezing, but we had fun anyway.
