• Pete’s Silly Sideshow Character Meet – Storybook Circus

  Posted at 10:02 am by taryngirl, on February 12, 2019

  8/16/18

  We decided to head towards Storybook Circus.  There was a PhotoPass photographer right outside of The Little Mermaid ride, and there was no line!  So we took advantage of that!

  

  We were lucky enough to get a magic shot with Sebastian!

  

  We made our way to Big Top Souvenirs, which is one of my favorite stores!  The second you walk in, all you can smell is SUGAR.  They have so many good snacks here!  Outside and to the right of the Big Top, is Pete’s Silly Sideshow.  Here you can meet some characters.  We decided to check it out because the wait was only 10 minutes.

  Our first character was Goofy.

  This was hands down one of our favorite character meetings EVER!  There were so many good Memory Maker pictures, that I couldn’t pick just one.  So sorry…

  

  This was seriously the best!  I’m not sure how Donald could compete…he was up next!

  This was so funny.  You will notice that Donald makes everyone put up the number 1 finger.  This is because he thinks he is #1 and not Mickey!  I never knew this.  He made everyone in front of us do the same thing.  So Kinsey was watching this and said, “I’m going to do #2 instead.”  She tried!  But they didn’t let her!  Hahahahaha

  

  

  At the end, the PhotoPass photographer took my phone and started taking selfies with it.

  There are two more characters at a separate entrance…Minnie and Daisy.  We didn’t have time to hit them up.

  If you haven’t checked out this character greet, I highly encourage it!  This was the second time we’ve had a great experience here.

• Magic Kingdom Morning and Breakfast at Be Our Guest

  Posted at 5:11 pm by taryngirl, on February 8, 2019

  8/16/18

  We had 9:30 a.m. breakfast reservations at Be Our Guest.  Since we were staying at Bay Lake Tower, we walked over!  It’s a quick, short, painless walk.  And you have your own security on the walkway over, so you avoid the mass screening lines once you arrive.

  

  

  

  We were meeting my cousin in front of Be Our Guest, and made it there just in time.  This gentleman greeted us on the walk across the bridge.

  

  So many fun details in this restaurant!

  

  These fellas are lined up along where you wait to order.

  

  Be Our Guest is one of the few Quick Service locations that accept Advanced Dining Reservations.  You can also order ahead for breakfast or lunch up to 30 days prior to your reservation.  Under My Reservations a link will appear next to your reservation.  You don’t have to do this though if you are not sure what you want!  I can be indecisive so I never order ahead.  I like to see what I’m hungry for once I get there.  ***NOTE!  This is from August.  Pricing has gone up since then and is not $28 for an entree!  the menu itself is also different now!  They have added just waffles, French toast sticks, etc.

  

  Ordering is done on a touchscreen or with a live person.  They had both when we were there.

  

  Breakfast and lunch seating is wherever you can find a spot!  There are three different “rooms” that you can choose from…Grand Ballroom, Rose Garden, and West Wing.  The Grand Ballroom has the most seating.  For dinner you are seated where they put you.

  Grand Ballroom:

  

  West Wing:

  

  I like to eat in the West Wing if I can find a table!  The rose is in this room and the room goes through a transformation as time goes on.

  For breakfast, you get a plate of pastries for your party.  My cousin and I ordered separately, so they got their own plate.  So this was just for 2 of us!  I didn’t order Kinsey an entree or meal here.  I knew she would just eat these pastries!
  

  My meal:

  

  Open-Faced Bacon and Egg Sandwich–Poached Eggs, Applewood Bacon, Brie Cheese, and Arugula on a Croissant served with Fresh Fruit.

  I loved this actually.  I have a hard time paying $25 for a breakfast though!  So we definitely don’t eat here every trip.  It’s more of a splurge.  It IS a good value on the dining plan for a Quick Service though.  A beverage also comes along with the entree.

  My cousin’s:

  

  Vegetable Quiche–Mushroom, Zucchini, Bell Pepper, Onion and Chive Quiche served with Fresh Fruit

  My cousin’s:

  

  Feast A La Gaston–Scrambled Eggs, Herb-Roasted Potatoes, Apple Smoked Bacon, and Sausage served with Fresh Fruit

  

  After our yummy breakfast, we hit some rides in Fantasyland on the way to our first Fastpass+ at Haunted Mansion.
