Day 5 in CA - 7/14/10

Well, we have made it to day 3 of Disneyland! Daddy Marc wanted to be there at rope drop to see what kind of show they put on. We didn't make it there for the show, but we made it there for the rope drop. So we made a mad dash to The Toy Story Midway Mania ride. This ride is still somewhat newer and it does not have a Fastpass. The wait is usually about 45 minutes unless you are there right at open. This ride is a fun interactive ride where compete against the other person in your car by playing 3D midway games starring the Toy Story characters.I would like to introduce 2 of the newest Toy Story toys....
Since it was Daddy Marc's birthday we splurged and went to a character lunch called Goofy's Kitchen. If you have never been to a character meal before, the characters make the rounds and come to your table for interacting, photos, and autographs. Baloo greeted us when we went back to be seated.
The character meal we went to is one that serves breakfast and lunch food on the buffet all day. The pancakes are even shaped like Mickey!
The only place we got to see any Princesses was at our meal. They have become so popular that they have their our area with it's own wait time. At Samantha's age I couldn't justify standing in line for 45 minutes to see them. I think Samantha was kinda infatuated with Princess Aurora. Even when I am typing this Samantha is climbing on my lap saying "princess, princes, princess".
Chip came over to say Hi and play.

Chef Goofy took time out from cooking all the food to come and say Hi to us.
Peanut insisted on telling our waiter that it was Daddy's birthday. Our waiter brought over a cupcake with a candle for our birthday boy.
Dale came over too. It was weird to have the chipmunks separated.
For the first time ever in our Disney history, we got to see Mulan up close. She was beautiful!
Periodically all the kids would be called out to an area by the buffet to have a dance party with Goofy.
Pluto was there to tell us good-bye.
We even got to see Stitch.
Both kids were excited to see Handy Manny out.
Samantha even gave Handy Manny knuckles!
It was a fun birthday day for my hubby!
