Magic Kingdom Character Meetups This Year and Tips

By -
First of all, let me say it's all in the buttons!
If you are a first time visitor you can get a button that says that. If you are celebrating a birthday, they have Birthday Buttons! As this was our gift to Miss Sarah for her birthday, she wore her Birthday button - and this gives you a little bit of extra TLC from the characters.

Trust me - you want the buttons. HUGE tip. The button got Sarah a full five minutes with Merida, a dance with Jessie and some special love from Tiana and Naveen.

We were at the park when it opened and tried to wake Tinkerbell at the Tinkerbell's Treasures Store but they had changed that. They explained to us that the rotten Captain Hook had discovered and blown up her sleeping place so they had to relocate her to the Magical Nook (#8) where we would get shrunken down to pixie size. (It didn't hurt).
We saw the hard to find Terence...
Then a visit with Tinkerbell - who was SOOOO funny! 
We were then unshrunk and ran into Aladdin and Jasmine: 
In Frontierland, we found Woody and Jessie! Jessie showed Miss Sarah a lil' western dance.
Then comes Merida.
Seriously, we got five minutes with her!
She sat and talked, let Sarah play peek-a-boo with the three bears/brothers, they sang a bit too!
**Tip: I had the Merida dress in a 1 gallon zippy bag in my backpack, and then we popped Miss Sarah into it while we were in line. It was too hot to wear it all day and we didn't want it to get wet. Our dress was from Target, on sale. Much cheaper than the $89.99 Disney version, beautiful as it is.
 Smile ladies!
She also got a free archery lesson!
We caught Buzz Lightyear -
And let's not forget James...(so special, he gets a whole post of his own!) 
Then comes Tiana and Naveen.
While waiting for them, Miss Sarah harvested the fresh blossoms that had fallen,
and presented them to Naveen.
Then came the "silly dance" which Miss Sarah taught them and they kept doing for her.
It was dubbed the Froggy Jump. We didn't catch it on film but I can't wait to see the Photopass shots - Even the photographer was laughing!
Honestly, we DID do rides, see a few shows and eat,
we were just lucky with the photo opportunities this year.

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
