Hi Rael,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I’m thrilled to hear that you’ll soon be visiting “The Most Magical Place on Earth” and hope you’re having a BLAST thinking through all of the details of your trip.
Kicking off a fun and magic-filled day with a visit to
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and breakfast at
'Ohana sounds like a GREAT idea! With pretty views of Cinderella Castle across the lake, yummy all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast fare that any Mouseketeer would love (including my very
favorite Disney breakfast staple...Mickey-shaped waffles...mmm!), and fun interactions with beloved characters, you're going to LOVE it! While character appearances are always subject to change, Mickey and Pluto wouldn't want to miss a morning with Lilo and Stitch and are both there regularly decked out in adorable tropical attire.
Whenever my family enjoys a
character meal, I like to keep my video camera on my phone rolling throughout our entire interaction. Some of our
favorite moments with characters have been as they come up to our table to greet us or hug the kiddos goodbye. Posed photos with characters are always great, too, but some of the more impromptu moments are the ones that make us laugh or remind us of a tender moment. Plus, with Stitch around, you just never know what may happen!
Thanks so much for bringing me your great question, Rael, and please feel free to stop by again with any other questions you may have as you're
planning your trip. I hope that you have a truly magical...and delicious...vacation early next year!
Missy
