Disney Day 5 - Back to the Magic Kingdom

Good Morning!!  Not for everyone!!  We stayed up waaaaaaaaaaaaay too late last night watching the parade and the light show and the fireworks.  This is what the adults felt like when we met at the bus stop at 7:00 am. 


And this is what the kids felt like - ready to go!!!



Hauling all of our strollers and bags onto the shuttle bus ONE MORE TIME!!!  We really could NOT have done this without having the extra two pair of hands from Grammie and Poppy!!!


We all used to love Tiger Woods.  Everybody knows Tiger wears red on his last day of the tournament to gather strength and power.  I went with that strategy and we all wore red Mickey/Minnie shirts.  We got the kids shirts at Target and the adults shirts from the Disney Store. 

We made it to our reservation at the Crystal Palace and they made us wait!  Grrrrrrr!


So we wait.....


and wait....


and wait and chase.....


Then they call our name.....


Nice family shot without me in it......very hard to get a family shot these days!!!!



Literally as we are getting to our table, a visitor come bouncing to our table!!!
Rocco's favorite!!!  Rocco LOVES the Winnie the Pooh movies and especially loves Tigger!!!


Next the bear himself!!!  Winnie!!!  Rocco loved him!!


They were all so happy!!


Next up...Eeoyre


Finally, little Piglet!!!


Hadleigh got some special attention from Piglet.


We finished breakfast and started our day and as we were crossing a bridge we ran into Peter Pan!!!


He was looking for Captain Hook!!


Then we went up some stairs to go around Cinderella's castle and we ran into her mean ugly stepsisters!!!
Rocco did NOT like them!!!  See how Mom is trying to push him up for a picture.  Ha ha !!


He agreed for a picture but said he would not smile!!!


Next a carousel ride.  Jillian kept asking when the horses would fly off like in Mary Poppins!!!


Big girl!!


They all tried to pull the sword but no such luck!!!


This morning we all rode some of the classics.  First up was It's a Small World. 
Such a sweet ride. 


We headed towards Frontier Land and rode with some pirates. 


Afterwards everybody got swords and hooks which was a big hit!!

Summer was obsessed with the street party so we went back for Round 2!!!





Everybody had so much fun with lots of running around and dancing but do you notice the sky?  Getting very dark??  Like it is going to rain???


We ran over quickly and stood in line for 30-45 minutes to meet Princess Tiana!!

I love this picture.  A princess knows when she meets another princess!!!

Then we all joined in the fun!!!  Tiana complimented our red attire!!


We went back to Frontier Land and Summer elected to stay with the babies (Hadleigh was asleep) while the rest of us use our FASTPASSES to ride Thunder Mountain.  We were three people from the front of the line when they shut it down because of lightening.  So we waited..........Then the skies opened and poured and poured and poured.  Oh no!!!  What about Summer??  What about the babies????     Poor Summer and the babies  -  they were soaked and crying!!!
Out came the ponchos!!!

We waited and we waited.  We bought hot dogs.  But it was still raining.  We finally gave up and said let's go back to the hotel.



The kids were tired. 


Very, very tired!!!



We had every intention of coming back to Magic Kingdom for the night activities.  It did stop raining for a little while but we just plain ran out of gas.  I am so glad we stayed the night before but I wanted to see it again but we just couldn't get the energy up for going out one more time!!!  Oh well!  Next time!!!

We had a fabulous time on our first trip to Disney World!!!!  Hopefully more to come!!!!!
