Have You Been "Photobombed"

The definition of a photobomb is "the act of inserting oneself into the field of view of a photograph" according to wikipedia.
We have been the "victim" of this a few times through the years, sometimes accidentally, other times, very intentionally, as is the case with the 3 photos I'm going to share here.
I put victim in quotes because we actually don't mind a photobomb. In fact, we may have, on occasion, been guilty of doing the bombing. Shhhhh.
This 1st photo is from our very first trip to Walt Disney World in September of 2006. We were having dinner at Chefs de France at the French Pavilion in Epcot. I'd asked our server to take our picture, and our neighbors, well, the photo speaks for itself.


I really respected the full on waving from the gentleman. Usually a bomb is a simple smile, like his companion is exhibiting. We actually wound up having a nice conversation with this couple.

Next we have a really fun one, as it's not every day that you get photobombed by Peter Pan! Barbie and I were eating at Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel, when we again asked our server for a photo. Pan swooped up from behind, and our server got the shot at the perfect moment!


Lastly, here I am waiting for the "Character Cavalcade", a special event that occurred on Walt Disney World's 40th Anniversary on October 1st, 2011.


Again, I am eating (what is it with food and photobombing?!) and Barbie is taking my picture, when the guy behind me decided to insert himself in the photo. . What makes this my favorite, is the expression on his wife's face! Priceless.
Actually, come to think of it, the young lady to my right is also photobombing!


Have you ever been photobombed? Or are you a photobomber?

Brunch at Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel

Goofy's Kitchen is located in the Fantasy Tower of the Disneyland Hotel.




A very popular brunch, with plenty of food choices, including many breakfast item, such as "Mickey Mouse" Waffles & Pancakes, French Toast, Sausage & Bacon, a Create-Your-Own Omelet Station, Eggs Benedict, Fresh Fruit, Goofy's Famous Peanut Butter Pizza, Soft-Serve Yogurt with Toppings.





There are several lunch type items as well, since this is "brunch", such as an extensive salad selection, Chicken Breast Nuggets, pizza, and many other items.



But to me, there seems to be more desserts than anything else, including an ice cream bar.



 
To be honest, the food here, in my humble opinion, is mediocre.
I think the food at the Storyteller's Cafe buffet at the Grand Californian is superior, while their characters are not as varied.
At Goofy's, the characters are the draw, including Baloo, who joined us for breakfast:

 
 The new super team, Chip 'n' Mulan?

A character I've not previously gotten a picture with, Br'er Fox!

And our host, Goofy:


As of January 2013 Brunch is 7am-12pm Mon-Fri and 7am-2pm Sat & Sun, prices for Adults: $32.99 and Children 3-9: $16.99 not including gratuity or sales tax.

Final analysis: The food, while not the best, is plentiful, and you won't go away hungry. Go for the fun.
