I recently had the opportunity to meet talking Mickey. I had wanted to meet him ever since I first heard about him and I was so happy that I finally got to meet him. I was at Magic Kingdom and I was hot so I went and sat on a bench inside Town Square Theater. A few minutes later, a CM that I know from seeing around pretty often, came up to me. She told me to come with her to meet Mickey. She brought me in through a back door and when I walked in, Mickey was talking. It was amazing. I took a few short videos but I wish I would have taken a better one. I was just so excited to meet him that I couldn't think straight. I can't wait to meet him again.

Disney Parks Blog: California Grill Meet-up
I had the opportunity to attend my first Disney Parks Blog meet-up on Sunday, September 8 at the California Grill. When the Disney Parks Blog first announced this meet-up, I immediately sent in my information. Unfortunately, my name was not on the list of people that had gotten in. Well, I received an e-mail on Wednesday letting me know that I had gotten in.
On Sunday afternoon, I printed out my release forms, signed them and headed over to the Contemporary. I took my mother with me as my guest. We got there a little early so we sat outside on the fourth floor and enjoyed the view. Around 6:45, we headed to the second floor where we had to check in. We had to hand in our signed release forms and show a picture id. That's when I realized that I left my license in the car. I put it down after I showed it to security to park and never picked it back up. I told the CM that I left it in the car and she told me not to worry about it. After she checked us in, she gave me a token that I would exchange at the end of the night for a prize.
We stood in the hallway until around 7:15 when they started taking people up the California Grill. We were on the third elevator. We walked out and were greeted with CM's holding trays of champagne and various other drinks. Then we stepped into the next room and CM's were in there handing out some food samples. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the drinks or any of the restaurant.
I decided to try a three meat meatball. I wasn't going to try it because I'm not really a fan of meatballs and there was lamb in it and I don't like lamb. I decided to just go ahead and try it and I'm glad that I did. It was very good; probably the best thing I had all night. However, it was a little spicy.
I decided that I had to go outside to check out the view of Magic Kingdom before sunset.

Halloween Decorations
It may only be the beginning of September but Magic Kingdom is already decorated for Halloween. It's the same decorations that they have been using for years now. I hope they'll do something new next year. It gets kind of old seeing the same decorations always being used. I actually wouldn't mind if they kept some of the decorations and did something different with them and then put out some new ones.

New signs at Magic Kingdom
On my last visit to Magic Kingdom, I noticed that some new signs were put up around the park.
The Magic Carpets of Aladdin has a new fastpass+ sign and a new stand-by sign.
The Haunted Mansion has a new stand-by sign.
The Mad Tea Party has a whimsical new sign that has the stand-by wait time and the fastpass+ time.
I noticed this sign for the Pirate's Adventure. I admit, I don't know how new the sign is because I've never played the game or been in that area since the game opened. However, I noticed that the one sign is for stand-by and the other sign is blank. That makes me believe that they are also going to add fastpass+ to the other side. I honestly can't imagine anybody using one of their three fastpasses to play a game that will likely never really have a line.
