A Friend of a Friend

It just so happens that we have a "friend" that knows Minnie Mouse. Uh huh. At least, this is what you're supposed to say when you go to Magic Kingdom to specifically see Minnie...when you know she'll be there...from 8:45 to 9:15 pm and from 9:45 to 10:15 pm. No, you can't do this for any character in the parks, for all of you hoping to use this trick, you actually have to know someone who is "friends" with Minnie. I hope I'm hinting well enough here that you get my point. So my roommate Lindsay and our friend Lauren and I wanted to see and surprise Minnie when she was working.

We wandered over to Mickey's Toontown Fair and hunted for Minnie Mouse. The characters in this area are in special indoor rooms instead of outside, so this was harder than it seems. When we finally located the right set of rooms, we let the person monitoring the line know that we were here to see Minnie (there were some code words involved). We then bypassed the 30 minute wait line (sweet!) and stood in the front. Not only did children hate us for this, but we got several glares from parents. Before I could feel too bad about myself we were ushered into a room where Minnie and Mickey were waiting. We got the special VIP treatment as we were the only ones in there. It was right before Minnie's break time so they didn't expect to see anyone else. She was super excited to see us because we didn't tell her we were coming and hopped around for a bit before making everyone pose for a picture. Minnie, who is up to date with technology, made sure to text us later and thank us for visiting.

Lindsay: "That was SO cool!" She repeated this phrase for a couple of hours.
