"Mickey Mouse party for having no more diapers!!"

So we've been promising Yums a party with Mickey Mouse for being potty trained for FOUR months now.  Who knew how fast Disney's character breakfasts fill up?!  Today was finally the day and no one was more excited than Yums.  Six thirty a.m. he wanders into our bedroom proclaiming that he's ready for his "Mickey Mouse party with waffles and sprinkles and whipped cream."  (He got the whole waffles with sprinkles and whipped cream from a Travel Channel special about Disney...  Anyway...)

There was NO getting him to go back to sleep and he all but demanded we get up and join him in his excitement!  He's officially at that age where you can't tell him anything too far in advance because he will then pester you each and every second asking if it's time!  So we get up, get ready, and head off for the Contemporary Resort to meet Grandma for breakfast.  We get some food, sit down, and the characters start coming out.  He's interested, wants to see where they are, etc...everything's going fine.  Then they come over to him...and he HIDES!  

Hides his face for Mickey Mouse, hides under the table for Minnie, Goofy and Pluto.  I try to get his mind off of being nervous, so I suggest he give Donald some of his breakfast as I see him heading over.  He wants Grandma to do it, so she hands Donald half a biscuit.  Donald, being the goofball he is, throws it over his shoulder onto the floor, leaving my son erupting in giggles.  And the nervousness has subsided...

He laughed his way through his interaction with Donald and was my normal, giggly 2 yr old the rest of the time there.  We intended to take him out to MGM afterwards, but he insisted he did not want to go.  It's probably a good idea we listened to him, as he cried the entire ride home out of sheer exhaustion.  Who knew eating breakfast could be so tiring?!
