In the Tiki Room

UPDATED 7/22/07 @ 5:30 pm

The Family Moreno packed up the car and headed off to Disneyland today. And for a summer Sunday, the crowd really wasn’t that bad.

Then again, we did get there at 7:20 am. Ahem.

Ordinarily, the thought of waking up at 6 am on a Sunday to do anything–I can already hear you churchies praying for my heathen soul–wouldn’t set well with me. But today we had a definite reason to do so.

The family had breakfast with as many Disney characters that the Plaza Inn on Main Street could handle. And it was worth every penny–a breakfast buffet, all sorts of characters, and an all-out pleasant experience were enjoyed by all. Crowds were reasonably small which was a big surprise to all of us.

Besides breakfast, some of the activities included: Riding the Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, the Autopia and The Enchanted Tiki Room (The Kid’s favorite); building a new bear at Build-A-Bear Workshop (The Kid’s third); eating lunch at the only Sonic in town (a few minutes from Disneyland); and buying souvenirs at the Disney Character Warehouse across the street from Sonic. If you’re looking for a good bargain, this is the place. We bought two autograph books/photo albums with pens (for the next breakfast) for $6, ordinarily $12 each in the park. I mean, where else can you find ’06 Mickey Ear antenna toppers at this bargain price?

Since I don’t have 24 cars I had to pass on this amazing buy. But a fun day was indeed had by all, even if the temperature was 95 degrees (yikes!) when we got back to the car!
