O.C.Bee
 
Well, we went to Old Country Buffet yesterday for dinner and to our surprise there was a large costumed bumble bee character by the name of O.C. Bee.  I thought to myself - what a wonderful surprise, I get to eat all the bbq ribs I want (Thursdays and Saturdays are BBQ ribs nights) and watch a large bee go around giving balloons away!  Anyway, I thought it would be a good indicator on how well Lauren and Maddie will do at the Character Breakfast and Dinner at Disney.  We will have breakfast with Pooh and his friends at the Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom and dinner with Cinderella at the Grand Floridian Resort.  We tried to get a seating for the Cinerella Breakfast at the Castle but it was all sold out.  Anyway, I thought for sure, Lauren would be scared by the large costumed characters but she went right up to O.C.Bee and got a balloon from him.  Maddie just kept staring at him.  When we were seated at our table and O.C.Bee approached our table to try to give a balloon to Maddie, she kinda fidgeted in her high chair and wanted to move away from O.C.Bee.  She didn't cry or anything like that but she was not too trhilled with a larger than life size bee near her!
