Monday: Magic Kingdom, Chef Mickey’s
Nov. 4th, 2019 11:00 pmWe went to Magic Kingdom. The day began with a hiccup, because even tho I explained to Priestess months ago that the point of the grocery order was so we could eat breakfast in the room and hit the park for focused rides for the first hour, the Epcot breakfast led her to believe another sit down character breakfast was about to happen. Eeep. She needed protein, and of course that is Not Possible at the beginning of the day.
We got on Buzz first thing, and I told her her first FP time frame (also for Buzz). We had identified a place in Tomorrowland where she could get a beef hot dog at 10, and I found a place that sold walnuts that would probably open sooner. A. and I did Space Mountain twice (standby, then FP). By the time we meet up with Priestess again, she had acquired a croissant (her favorite, but only occasional, carb treat) and the aforementioned walnuts. That held her until 11 when we had lunch at Jungle Navigation Skipper Canteen (excellent as always). We rode PeopleMover.
We all did Thunder Mountain.
We had a FP for her for Haunted Mansion (which she really wanted to do) and for us for Seven Dwarfs. However, it was inconveniently timed if we wanted to get an afternoon break. So we moved her FP to post-dinner. We poked our heads into the Main Street shops to see if we could get her shorts (I did not think this would be possible, but we tried there, and later at Bay View Gifts at the Contemporary, but nothing worked), then rode the bus back to the hotel.
We took a Lyft to dinner at Chef Mickey’s. The chef there was especially nice to Priestess, giving her an amazing bowl of dairy-free but extremely loaded mashed potatoes (I do not normally get the appeal of mashed potatoes, but I think I get it now — they were airy and creamy and fat laden and full of salty goodness without being leaden or disgustingly salty). We also both got dairy free desserts — there was one on the regular buffet, even that was good, but we got more. Yikes! We looked at the gingerbread house, and bought her some trail mix and a gingerbread loaf.
