Dinner with Winnie the Pooh and friends

I saved one of my favorite events for last. One night we had dinner at the Magic Kingdom in the Crystal Palace. It was a character dinner, which means that characters from a certain movie would wander around and greet the children while they were eating.


Before we left for our trip, we asked each of the kids who they hoped to meet at Disney. Harry's immediate response was "Eeyore"! Harry has slept with a stuffed Eeyore since he was a baby. He recently told me, "Mama, I cherish Eeyore." Just want to make sure you get the full effect of how much this boy loves Eeyore.


We asked around when we got there, but were told that Eeyore did not come out very much and it was rare to get to meet him. We explained this to Harry and told him not to be too disappointed if he didn't get to meet Eeyore on this trip.


Imagine our happy surprise when we arrive at dinner to find that we will be dining with the characters from Winnie the Pooh! Harry was so excited! When Eeyore finally came to our table, he jumped up and gave him the biggest hug. He spent the rest of the night waving at him and ran to get a goodbye hug before we left. What a special treat!


Thank you, once again, Mimi and Pop, for the wonderful trip! We will cherish our memories of that week for years to come.
