The question is this: At the Magic Kingdom, in the rooms where there are multiple characters (the Princesses, for example), can you still go from character to character to take your picture, or is it one character at a time, and then back in line for the next one? I've seen video on YouTube that makes it seem like it might be the latter, but I'm hoping things can be verified here. It may not seem like much, but seeing the characters is one of the highlights of my trip every year. I'm definitely looking forward to November 12th. When that day comes, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, to Disney World I'll go.

ORDDU: The funny thing was, when we went into Exposition hall, we noticed the wait time for Mickey Mouse's line was only 5 minutes long. At the same time, the wait time for three of the Disney Princesses--Cinderella, Aurora and Belle--was a 60 minute wait. Those princesses are still drawing the crowds!

And yes, while the princesses did not seem to have waits below 30 minutes yesterday, Mickey never seemed to be above 10, usually at 5.

It'll be probably our 19th, I believe. The last time we went in 2008, and financial issues and illnesses, among other things, held up a return trip. If only Pleasure Island was still open...Well, at least I'll be able to try Atlantic Dance Hall and Jellyrolls' for the first time.
