This isn’t a self portrait (obviously) but it is a picture I wanted to share from my Orlando trip. The quintessential picture with Mickey!

When our group (Courtney, Trevor, and me!) arrived in Mickey’s Toontown Fair there were two houses- Minnie’s and Mickey’s. You could tour them and take pictures, which I thought would be fun. I didn’t realize the houses were actually staging for the line to meet Minnie or Mickey.

Trevor explained the characters didn’t really walk around the park anymore. You wouldn’t just “happen” on Mickey or Minnie in Tomorrowland or find a princess mingling in Frontierland. Instead the characters have specific locations to hang out and people line up for their photo op.

When I found out Mickey’s house was actually the line to see Mickey, I made the group wait the 45 minutes (maybe longer?) for my photo op.

When we got our audience with Mickey I was surprised at how short he was. And I said it out loud! Poor Mickey gave me some body language that he wasn’t too thrilled with my statement. It’s not like I told him to go buy some weight loss pills. But he was sweet and still took a picture with me.

If you have a self portrait to share, please post it on your blog and leave a comment on Midlife Musings! We would love to see your mug.
