Dining with Daisy

To be honest, I don't understand the appeal of "meeting the characters" at Disneyland. I'm there for the rides, and the food, and the fun. Standing in line to get the signature of some college kid in a costume does not make sense to me. But there are people (i.e. children) who love to get these signatures and pictures. And if you're going to do them - character breakfasts are the way to go. No lines, no apps telling you which character is going to be where and when. You sit and eat and the characters come to you.

With that said, we had breakfast with Mickey & Friends at Paradise Pier. I don't like to think about what this probably cost Jason's Mom. But we enjoyed an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet (with yummy fresh fruit and Mickey Mouse pancakes) while the characters came around to our table. You can see how much the little girls loved meeting Minnie.

Ok, so this Goofy is plastic but we met "the real one" too. He just didn't have a cool surf board to pose with.

And now, if I could get a drum roll please... I'd like to show you what I call "the money shot." Here is Dahlia getting her 5 minutes of fame with Daisy Duck. This is the picture we went to the character breakfast to get. Success.
