Character Hunting at Magic Kingdom

First of all everyone should remember this day, I woke up at 7:30 all on my own. So, I decided to use this to my advantage. I still to this day have yet to see the Welcome Show at Magic Kingdom cause its always at 8:45. I got ready quick and booked it there. Unfortunately I didn't make it I got there at 8:50.

However, I was gonna head there anyway because as part of Limited Time Magic, they were having Long Lost Friends week in which they bring out characters that are never seen and I go to meet them all! First group was Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, Sheriff of Nottingham and Prince John from Robin Hood, Chicken Little and Abby Mallard from Chicken Little, Brer Fox, Brer Bear and Brer Rabbit from Song of the South or Splash Mountain and Louis with Dr. Facilier ( the alligator and the villian) from the Princess and the Frog.

After that I just decided to stay and try to meet all the characters I could in the Magic Kingdom. I caught Mary Poppins right in Towne Square. Since at that point it was a lot wait I got a Fastpass to meet the Princesses. Then I headed to Frontierland and met Chil and Dale in their Western Getup. I headed to Fantasyland and finally after trying and failing I got to meet the Fairy Godmother! I haven't seen her since I was here for my first visit in 1995! So that was awesome! I met Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia and Drizella back by new fantasyland. Next I met Peter Pan and Wendy near Peter pans Flight.

I headed to the back of the park and met Ariel in her grotto and then everyone at Storybook Circus. Marie from the Aristocats and Pluto were back there (normally they are in Towne Square but they got moved cause of the Long Lost friends). Then Insaw Minnie and Daisy followed by Goofy and Donald all ready for the circus! I met some clowns as well. Then it was time to meet the princesses! Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel.

At this point, I headed to Tomorrowland to see Buzz but since thunder was in the area he left. So I saw Push the talking trash can for the first time, he was neat! Then I just decided to get lunch, I ate at the Liberty Tree Tavern. It was like Thanksgiving! I had turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and cranberries! So amazingly good! After lunch, the rain let up so I met with Woody and Jessie in Frontierland, since I was already there. I missed the White Rabbit and Pooh and friends! I headed back over the Buzz. I was the last one to meet him before he went in.

Since it wasn't pouring, I got in line to see Merida. I was the last one to see her too! Then since they got her inside too, I went to an inside one. I met Tinkerbell and her friend Vidia! That had to easily be the longest of the waits! After them I met Aladdin and Jasmine in Adventureland. Next was Tiana and Naveen. They talked to me about New York style Pizza! After that I just had to meet the big cheese so I met Mickey in Town Square Theater.

I took the monorail to the Contemporary and checked out the pin boards. Then I headed back to my car picked up dinner and pretty much called it a night. My roommate came back and it sounds like we are on the same page again! That's something anyaamk
