My very first character dining experience! I was so excited that all day at work I kept telling guests that I was going to eat with Mickey Mouse later that night! We went to the Garden Grill inside the Land pavilion at EPCOT. The restaurant is constantly turning so the scenery changes slowly as you eat. You get to see parts of the ride Living with the Land. It was really cool. Thanks go out to Bryan for organizing all of this and letting me tell him what to do! From left to right we have Jennamarie, Jon, Bryan and Emily. I didn't know Emily before that night but she works in the same area as I. Turns out she goes to BYU too! Go Cougars!

It's a buffet style dinner. They bring you all of the food that you can eat. Starting out with a yummy ceasar salad and bread, they then bring you a huge plate of steak, turkey, catfish, turkey, vegetables and potatoes. I liked the catfish the most. That either says that Disney really needs to add some flavor to their food or I guess I can like some fish. The food was okay but it was really all about the characters!
Pluto stopped by a couple of times. With Emily and me sitting at the edges of the booth we got our faces licked a lot. At one point my entire head was inside his mouth. I guess my shampoo smelled good, or tasted good actually.
The first time Mickey walked by he couldn't stop at our table and I was so sad. Luckily he came back and I was the first to jump up and get a picture. Doesn't he look so cute in his overalls? He kept tipping his straw hat to us. Such a cute little gentlemouse.
Chip and Dale are so much fun! That's Dale doing bunny ears over Jon's head. My sentiments exactly Dale! Bryan sure looks amused.
Chip was actually the first one to come to our table. I was so excited to see my first character. He stayed for a little while and commented on Bryan's shirt that said "Last clean shirt". He held his nose as he walked away. He came back a few seconds later to show a girl from another table what Bryan's shirt said. The girl was pretty amused and I think Bryan was excited about all the attention (whether or not it was because he smelled bad).
Dessert pretty much rocked. The plates were meant to be for two but since there was five of us, I got my own plate. Not just because I'm a pig but because of the way we were sitting, I promise! It was so yummy that even though we were stuffed, we could have all probably eaten more. Had our waitress known that we were starving CP's, she wouldn't have even asked if we had wanted seconds on our main meal. I think she was very surprised when we finished all of it!And here we are at the end of our meal. Stuffed but happy. All in a good day's work.
