Day 2- Character Breakfast and Campground Singalong

Ready for our character breakfast at Cape May Cafe to meet Minnie, Donald, and Goofy (and celebrate Mommy's birthday)!

This was one of our favorite days! The Beach Club Resort was beautiful, so we spent some time walking around that morning while we waited for our character breakfast reservation. 

 

Let's meet some characters!!

 

 MINNIE!

Caroline would not leave my arms if there was a character in sight, so I had to accompany the kids for most of the pictures. 

As soon as we sat down to eat, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy started coming around, so there was too much excitement going on for us to actually eat for the first 30 minutes or so. 

 

 DONALD DUCK!

 GOOFY!

I didn't bring an autograph book, so we got them to all sign our table paper instead.  I'll somehow figure out a way to preserve it for Grayson. I didn't think he'd care about their signatures, but he was very excited about it.  I'll remember an autograph book next time!

 

Our breakfast was really perfect timing! Since it was an 11:00 meal, we were one of the last families in the restaurant, so the characters each came around about 3 times to visit with the kids.

And then as we were getting ready to leave, they all came over one last time so that we could get a family picture with all 3 of them!  We felt very special--a great birthday surprise!

 

After our meal, we headed back to the beach right outside the cafe.  We all put on our swimsuits and spent the remainder of the afternoon there. 

 

They had a really cool pirate ship swimming pool with a slide, so Grayson had alot of fun swimming in the pirate ship. 

 

Later on, we took the ferry across the river to the Boardwalk. 

The kids fell asleep in the stroller, so Chad and I took advantage of the  quiet time and walked around enjoying the beautiful scenery. 

After naps that afternoon, we loaded up on the bus and headed to the Fort Wilderness Campground to take part in the campfire sing-along with Chip and Dale.

As soon as we walked up, guess who we saw?  

 CHIP AND DALE were there to greet us!

There were not many people there, so Grayson got to play cornhole with the chipmunks before the sing along got started. 

listening to the cowboy sing songs and eating dinner....

 

 SMORES!!!

 After Smores, they showed a movie, but it was Lilo and Stich, which Grayson has never seen, and he decided it was too scary.  So, we took a bus to the beach area and they played in the sand while waiting on the water parade and fireworks. 

Unfortunately, a huge rain storm came right after the water parade, so we left before the fireworks got started.  We did not get back to our resort until about 11pm that night.  It was a very long night after that because Caroline started vomiting in her bed, so we were up until 12:30 that night trying to get her bed cleaned up. Of course she would vomit for the first time in her entire life on our Disney Vacation, right?!?   Our next day was Magic Kingdom and we had to be up early, so I was a little worried that the late night would make everyone miserable while there.  But everyone ended up getting a good night's sleep and woke up happy the next morning. 

So...Day 3--Magic Kingdom--up next!!
