Day 6 Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom

Boys showing us where to go

We were so excited that Matt got finished with his conference a day early and could spend our last day at Disney with us! WE had reservations at Hollywood and Vine at Hollywood Studios at 7, an hour before they opened. I was very excited about this restaurant because it had Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates, June from Little Einsteins, and Oso from Agent Oso. I don't know if my kids were tired and over it, but they were not excited about the characters, and it took a while for them to warm up.

HANDY MANDY! Where are your tools?

Kissing Oso! She kissed everyone!

Finally Shep warmed up right before we left!
June, where is Rocket?

We went to Hollywood Studios mainly for the Disney Junior Show, and it DID NOT disappoint! It was GREAT! All 3 kids loved it! 

There goes Spence

S and S had a BLAST playing in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground.

Shep climbing

They were GREAT climbers in the huge net. Spencer was SO fast!

They did it over and over again!

Thought the huge Play-Doh was so funny!

Had a fast pass for the Toy Story ride. They were a little apprehensive about it, but loved it!

They LOVED the green army man!

After naps, we went to Magic Kingdom for one last time. The boys were so anxious to show Daddy how they could ride a BIG roller coaster!

 Ended the night with a HUGE cupcake!! Thanks Papa!

Seeing the fireworks for the last time...
(tears flowing in this picture)

It was very hard leaving that night. I knew how wonderful this trip had been, and it could be a long time before we were back. I hope I can remember their little faces, and the pure joy they showed as they took everything in. I am a true believer in Disney World and can't wait to go back again with my little family!

Day 5- Magic Kingdom

So busy... Going to try and finish Disney posts today! We have many upcoming holiday plans to blog about...

Day 5 started out with a bang! I got a text form my mom early that morning saying that my dad had been up sick all night. We were suppose to go to Hollywood Studios for breakfast at 7. We could not get on the bus with 3 kids and 2 strollers with just my mom. Luckily I had the best travel agent in the world, and she was able to talk to the manager at Chef Mickey's so we could just ride the monorail over. I wasn't able to get reservations there before our trip, so this worked out EVEN better!!! I really wanted to eat there, so I was super excited!! Thanks Dad for getting sick!! HA!

This may be my favorite picture of the whole trip! This is how excited they were the entire time!

LOVE Shepherd's face!!

After Chef Mickey's we went to Magic Kingdom.

We were so excited that we found the new rollercoaster in fantasy land!! The height limit was 36 inches.. I think Spence was 36 1/2. They LOVED it!!

This was Spencer after riding it the first time! We rode it over and over!

The boys discovered a new way to ride the monorail! The loved getting on it!

After naps, we took a dip in the pool and just relaxed for a while. That night we went to Epcot for a few hours. 

Day 4 Animal Kingdom

Monday morning we woke up to go to Animal Kingdom. I have to say that this is my least favorite park. This may be due to the fact that we were all SO HOT and there are no inside rides. We only rode the safari ride and the train. Ate lunch, then left. We didn't even walk over to the big roller coasters or even that side of the park. Maybe there was more to discover but we were ready to go. The place we ate for lunch was The Dinosaurestaurant and they gave free refills!! Wish we had know that at the beginning of the day! :) Even if it was hot, we still had fun!

Spencer loved looking at all the animals!

Sophie rested on the ride

Look at that giraffe!

Had a blast riding the bus with Papa and wearing his hat!
(love the look of the guy's face in the background! HA! When people see we have 3 kids 2 and under this is the look we get!!)

They loved the pigs in the petting zoo!

 Two of the best things about Animal Kingdom were the kids got to meet Chip and Dale for the first time and the Lion King show!!

Love Shep's face! They adore the chipmunks!

Soph getting a first look

The Lion King Show was amazing! The songs were wonderful and the boys loved the music! Sophie got a little nap in the air conditioner and I loved the break!

Getting a little nap during the show

After lunch, we went to nap until Daddy got home from work. When daddy got back, we went to our dinner reservations at Whispering Canyon Cafe. We had to ride a boat to get there! SO FUN!

Papa is always so much fun!

 This restaurant was so much fun! I highly recommend it if you have children! It is located in the Wilderness Lodge. I don't think I would mind if I had to stay in that hotel. ;)

The kids did hokey pokey and they provided horses for the kids to gallop around the restaurant! It was a blast! The food was excellent too!

Our waiter was a blast! Dad finished his sweet tea very fast, so he brought Dad a GIANT one. At one point in the meal, the waiter bent down next to Mom and asked if she wanted a little more diet coke. Her answer was yes, so he pulled this "little" more diet coke from behind his back! HA!!

The boys thought the BIG and small drinks were hilarious and wanted to try them out!

My sweet parents!

I love this boy!!

 After the great meal, we went to the dock to wait on our boat to take us to Magic Kingdom for the evening.

Watching for the boat

At Magic Kingdom, the boys LOVED Swiss Family Robinson tree house!

 Funny Shep Moment....

To flush the toilet you have to push a button on top. Shep was determined to flush it "all by myself!"..he wasn't strong enough to push it..so my smart boy discovered another way to "push" the button. This is how I found him when I went to check on the status of him flushing the toilet! HA!
