Disney Day 1: Chef Mickey's

As often as we "do Disney" it has actually been nearly two years since we were at Walt Disney World as a family.   This time we brought our extended family:  Keith, Desiree and Aiden joined us for Aiden's first trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth!  Since we had a group of six, we stayed in a villa at Bay Lake Tower, the Disney Vacation Club arm of the Contemporary Resort.  It was so convenient to have all of us in one condo and to be walking distance to the Magic Kingdom!
 
On arrival day the only event we had planned was the character buffet at Chef Mickey's.  While we were waiting for our table, we saw these two aspiring Minnie Mouses.   It's always fun to people watch at Disney!  And then Mickey and Friends made the rounds at our table for autographs and pictures with the boys. 
 



 
 
Aiden's awesome aviators deserve a special shout out.  Before dinner we rode the monorail to the ticket center to activate William's annual pass. From there we made the quick walk to the Polynesian Resort for a welcome beverage (Lapu Lapu anyone?!) and a spin through the gift shops.  He decided to spend his own money on those glasses and proudly wore them the entire trip.
