Thursday started an hour earlier for us. When you buy a five day pass, Disney allows you to come earlier on one of a select number of days. This meant we were at breakfast for 6:30 am sharp and at the park by 7:00 am. "Magic Mornings" as they call them are good because there are a lot fewer people in the park which allowed us to quickly knock off a few of the big rides like Space Mountain and Matterhorn as well as some of the hard to get on rides like all the rides in Fantasyland. Fantasyland is typically full of strollers and babies.
Thursday was also Kerry's best friend Melissa's birthday. Kerry had spent the day before getting things ready which included arranging for lunch, getting birthday pins from City Hall and having hats specially made. Kerry's birthday is the following day so the plan was to wear the birthday hats on both days. Disney staff are always very good at wishing happy birthday when you wear a pin or a hat. We even got happy birthday wishes from staff walking to the parking lot.
We had lunch at Cafe Orleans in the park. We had thought about going to the Blue Bayou which is a very nice sit down restaurant on the edge of one of the water rides however we decided the menu was too nice for our (me and the kids) simple pallets. The menu at Cafe Orleans was a bit posh as well but I took a chance on the Three Cheese Monte Cristo. It's essentially cheese deep fried in the same batter they use to make Beignets. It came with a blueberry jam dip and was covered in powdered sugar. It also came with grapes so I think that makes it healthy.
The rest of our day was spent in Disneyland with one of the highlights being pictures with some of the Pooh Bear characters. Pooh wasn't there so we'll have to go back but we did see Tigger and Eeyore. Eeyore borrowed Carter's Groot and tried to put it on his shoulder like Callie. He was somewhat successful. I always enjoy Carter's face in the character pictures. Pure joy. Only two more days to go with lots more to pack in.
