Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

I can't believe we've come to the final day of our vacation! Friday started off GREAT! We got all packed up the evening before, so we were out the door of our hotel, and the first in line for breakfast at 1900 Park Fare for their Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious breakfast. We were DELIGHTED that the girls were asked to open the restaurant. It's a special honor, and the girls did great. They turn the kids who open the restaurant around so they can't see the door, have them say "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," then the doors are open and they have the kids turn around only to find Mary Poppins standing there to escort them to their table. Such a sweet moment from our trip for my big girls.

Yay for making it to the last day. Ha!

Saying the magic word. You can see the difference in their personalities in this pic. Ha!

The girls were SO surprised! Mary Poppins looked so lovely.

Us at a restaurant is kind of a big deal. Even if the kids are well behaved six kids is a lot of kids for one table. Ha!

We love this place because they have a great buffet. The kids LOVE the mickey waffles. That's not something I keep at home, so it's a very special treat for them. They also have a great fruity orange juicy breakfast drink that I love. We also love the variety of characters at their breakfast. Pooh and Tigger, Mary Poppins, and Alice and the Mad Hatter. The kids especially love the Mad Hatter. He was probably the best character as far as being able to stay in character and still be really funny. If you have an upcoming trip I'd say put this breakfast at the top of your list.

Pooh was our first visitor. Mia looks thrilled. Ha! She actually was, she just didn't want me taking pictures!

TIGGER! Obviously NO ONE liked him. Ha! Look!! ^ There's that yummy juice!

Mary Poppins. She also stayed in character telling the kids not to doddle while they were lining up for the photo.

Everyone.

LOVED.

ALICE!

Alice! Mia said, "You so Buu-ful!!"

The Mad Hatter!

The kids told him that Mia likes to call most days her birthday and have everyone tell her Happy Birthday, so he sang "A Very Merry Un-Birthday To You" to her. She smiled and said, "YEAH."

Happy children!

Once we left there we rode the monorail over to Magic Kingdom. Brubbs had still not had the chance to ride the train that got him lost, so we were sure to include that in our to-do list for the final day. It's another must do. Especially now that they have the Fantasyland depot open with the splash park. You can ride it from the front of the park to the back pretty quickly.

The little darlins on my row.

Sweet Girls. These two are such sweet friends.

On the go!

Daddy and Eli

Once we got off the train we made our way to Gaston's. It's a new quick service place where you can get HUGE cinnamon rolls and a special "LeFou's brew." It's a delightful blend of slushed apple juice with roasted marshmallow cream on top. It was SO good! I highly recommend using some of your snack credits for this really cool themed tavern.

Addi wanted her picture taken in front of the new Little Mermaid ride, Voyage of the Little Mermaid(which I didn't think was that great, but I guess no one asked me!)

Addi in front of Gaston's. She's wet from the splash park, not from getting in the fountain. Ha!

Oh boy!

After we finished our snack, had a bathroom break, changed diapers, and made a bottle, it was time to go to Space Mountain. We had gotten fast passes so that the big kids wouldn't have to wait in line. While the little kids and I waited for them to come out Stich came over! The kids have never seen the movie, so they had NO idea who he was, but Mia thought he was CUTE! Ha!!

My sweet babies with Stich.

Once Mia was finished with her "brew" the kids got about 10,000,000 germs while they threw away her cup. They looked so sweet working together though.

My sweet little pretty girl. Oh I love this tiny girl!

We left Magic Kingdom a little before noon, and headed over to Downtown Disney via bus. We shopped until we were hungry, then ate at a random place downtown that had lots of different things to chose from. By this point we were really starting to get tired, but the kids really wanted to go to a special even going on at Hollywood Studios that evening. Because it was Friday the 13th they were having a Villain Dance Party and Meet and Greet. If you know my KK, you know this was like a dream come true for her!!

My darling INDEPENDENT daughter.

She is SO full of personality. You just have to get on her good side. Ha!

Me and my birthday girl.

Tired KK.

This picture of the Smittle boys cracks me up! Ha!

Lulu is growing up! NOOOO!

Mia. Reverse planking. Ha!!

Sleepy Sleepy Bubby!

Mia said, "Momma! Take my picture with HORSE!!"

The girls and I thought this was so cool. They were in all the windows of the toy store. It was dolls making up the dresses for the princesses. So cool!

Seriously?! My kids are so stinkin cool!! This dude is made from Lego's, by the way.

Also made of Lego's. Well, except for the Smittles.

 

After we ate we shopped a little more, then headed to Hollywood Studios to end our time at the resort. Little did we know the NIGHTMARE that would become this Friday the 13th. We just wanted to see the Villain dance party, for crying out loud!! 

Meet-a-Little, Stand-a-Little, WAIT WAIT WAIT! Stand a LOT, Meet a Little More

Thursday we headed back to Magic Kingdom to finish up our time there. We had never been there for the opening ceremony before they drop the rope, and we almost didn't make it this time, but we rounded the corner just in time to watch it! It's really cool! The train pulls up with a TON of characters riding it! They all stand and wave, then there are fireworks. The kids really thought it was cool that the characters rode in on the train.

This is the ceremony just at the end. You can tell it was VERY bright. My camera wasn't quite awake yet, and a little foggy.

The theme song of Magic Kingdom should be sung to the tune of Pick-a-Little Talk-a-Little from Music Man. It goes a little like this. Meet-a-Little, Stand-a-Little, Meet-a-Little, Stand-a-Little, WAIT WAIT WAIT! Stand a LOT, Meet a Little More. It's just EXHAUSTING! Even in a smaller crowd we waited in SO many lines! It helps to meet characters via character meals, but there are some that are only available if you stand in line. These are usually the most popular characters, so they aren't really ones your kids are going to want to skip out on. They were FOR SURE our kids must see characters, SO we waited.

The big girls trying to charm the birds while we waited. No, seriously, that's what they are doing!

 

Brubbs sleeping while we waited. Have you EVER seen such an adorable little pirate!?

 

My Mia is a sleepy Merida while we waited to see fairies.

 

Even sweet Little Brother took a much needed rest while we waited in line.

 

Daddy got a little loopy while we waited. Either that or he was REALLY excited about seeing the fairies! HA!

 

Little Brother also got his first taste of my fruit only bar. He liked it.

The lines really were worth it though! We had lots of fun getting to meet some of the new characters. The area where they have Merida(from Brave) was really nice. They had a place to color pictures and even shoot a bow and arrow. Merida was really silly, so the kids loved getting to meet her. Other characters on the line-up where Woody and Jessie, Captain. Jack, Tiana, Rapunzel, and the fairies! Because we had so many to see that's just about all we did all day.

Merida was SO pretty. Obviously that's not her real hair, but still. She was so cute!

Livi was a pro with the bow.

Little Lefty, KK trying the bow.

My pirate boy even got a shot into the target.

Mia loved meeting Woody and Jessie.

Smittles meet the cowboys!

  

Addi was a little nervous about getting chosen for the pirate show. Ha! I think she thought they were going to capture her or something.

She did finally crack a TINY grin at the end.

Even after the other kids joined her on the stage for their pirate pledge Addi was still a little unsure.

 

The big girls with Vidia(one of the fairies).

The kids exploring with the fairies. The fairies are always really nice and have an answer for all the questions that might come up. They also just stopped and played with the kids.  So much fun for the kids.

Vidia gave Isaiah a prop for the picture. Mia looks a little unsure, but she cried when we left because she wanted to stay with Tinker Bell.

The kids with princess Tiana.

 

In order to see Rapunzel we had to wait in the "princess" line. Cinderella was also there, so we decided to see her too. Look at my sweet Mia trying to hold her hands like a princess.

 

We probably could have JUST come to see Rapunzel and the kids would have been OK with going home after that. They LOVE her!

 

 After we saw all of the characters we ate at a new place, Liberty Tree Tavern. I wasn't crazy about it, myself, but Olivia said they had the best chicken noodle soup she had ever tasted in her entire life. We were blessed with an amazing waitress, and had several people stop by our table to brag on the kids table manners and behavior. That's always a really nice thing to get! We were able to watch the afternoon parade from the window while we ate, so that was cool.

These two are probably coming up with a plan to cause some damage. Ha!

My sweet bookend girls.

KK getting a double shot. Ha! Apple juice and water.

Little Brother sitting like a BIG boy in the highchair.

After lunch we changed clothes and headed out to the Disney boats for a ride over to the Wilderness Lodge for Mickey's Backyard BBQ. Just wait 'til you see the moves these kids have. They DEFFINATLY got their daddy's dance gene. Ha!
