Breakfast with the Characters

This morning we got up and headed to Disney's Polynesian Resort to eat breakfast with the characters at the Ohana Restaurant.

When you arrived, everyone was given a lei.  Eli had his around his head.  He hated it!

Ohana means family, so they call everyone "cousin" - "Cousin Rebecca", "Cousin Wesley", "Cousin Eli", etc.

We enjoyed mickey shaped waffles!  : )

And a whole bunch of other foods!

Several characters joined us for breakfast.  Pluto was first.

I love this.  Eli was trying so hard to get away.  haha!

He was not a fan of Stitch,

but looooved Lilo! 

Finally, Mickey came by!

This go around with Mickey went much better than when we met him at Epcot!

Eli even learned to drink from a straw at breakfast.  He was soaking wet, but he did it!

After breakfast we headed to Clearwater and St. Pete, Florida, to see Aunt Katie's house, school, church, beaches, etc.  It was very pretty and neat to explore the Tampa area.  When we got back we enjoyed some Chicago style pizza for dinner and then came back to the room to get our swimsuits on and float in the lazy river until the lightning ran us out!
