Disney World Day 6 Magic Kingdom cont...

A few pictures out in front of our Hotel Wilderness Lodge before heading off to dinner at Chef Mickey's

 Beautiful little girl.
 He is all boy :)
 Family photo in front of the hotel.  Loved that place and I did not want to leave :)
 We loved dinner at Chef Mickey's.  One of our favorites.  We had reservations for 5:10pm so the kids were hungry and we were one of the first ones in the restaurant when it opened for dinner at 5pm which meant we had the characters to ourselves for a little while.
 Minnie was a favorite with Ella Kate.
 The boy gets his moneys worth out of a buffet :)
Pluto was John's favorite of the Fab 5 (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald)


 John giving Pluto one last hug.
 Goofy signing our autograph books.


 John started to really warm up to all the characters.  :)

 The one and only Mickey Mouse!
 Big hugs for Mickey.
 Goofy told all the kids to swing their napkins in the air and dance.  So fun.
 Dave liked this part too :)  Wish I could have gotten a hold of my camera faster to get Dave swinging his napkin too :)
 Good old Donald.
Licking his lips at his dessert plate..
 I love Minnie too :)

We were sad to see our trip come to an end but we had a great time.  Until next time Disney World......

Disney World Day 6 Magic Kingdom

On our last day in the parks (we had a 5 day park pass) we debated on whether we should go to Epcot or back to the Magic Kingdom.  We decided that our next trip we will definitively hit up Epcot but since we had heard/read that it has less things for our kids ages we would go back to our favorite - Magic Kingdom to end our wonderful vacation.

Excited for one last day at the Magic Kingdom.
 These two make me happy.
 Practicing her curtsy.
 John running with his 2 new cars.  After he saw Lightning Mcqueen we told him he could pick out one toy and of all the toys they had all he wanted was another small Lightning Mcqueen and Mater.  He has not let go of them yet.  :)  Sweet boy just loves his little box cars.  I love this stage.
 Running to the dock to catch the ferry boat.  They had this place figured out.
 As soon as we entered the Magic Kingdom we had to go see Belle one last time and hear the story :)
 This time Ella Kate wore the beautiful Belle dress LeLe had made her and in this picture Belle was telling Ella Kate how much she liked her dress.  Ella Kate beamed with excitement.

 One last hug for Belle.
 Ready to ride the Goof Barnstormer Roller Coaster.  John was a tiny bit nervous and stuck close to Dave :)
 Ella Kate had to change out of her Belle outfit into her Ariel outfit to ride the Voyage of the Little Mermaid one last time :)
 No fear.
 He has the sweetest face.
 And when he noticed I was taking a picture this is what I got. :)
 We rode the train that did a full circle around the Magic Kingdom.  We all enjoyed the ride and it was a good way to see the entire park from a different perspective.
 Hopping on one of her favorites - Voyage of the Little Mermaid.
 Pretty, sweet little girl :)
 Such a beautiful day.

One more time on the teacups! John loved the teacups!!!
 One last family pic in front of the castle.

 The kids watching a parade on the way out.
 We loved the parades.
 This parade was about "Old Mainstreet USA" and kept all of our attention.  Good way to end our day at the Magic Kingdom.

Disney World Day 5 Hollywood Studios cont....

John often refers to Ella Kate as a Princess and enjoyed her excitement when getting to meet so many of them.  But now it was time to meet Lightning Mcqueen and Mater.  This was John's moment and he embraced it and took it all in.  

 So happy waiting to meet his favorite cars!!
 He was about to jump out of his shoes!
 Love how much he loves Lightning and Mater.
 I will forever treasure this picture!  He was sooooo happy!!!!
 Just admiring his best buddies.
 Love this sweet boy.
 A favorite moment for all of us.  Ella Kate asked him a million times after this "Can you believe you got to meet Lightning"?  We were all excited for Johnny boy!

 We went back to see them right before the park closed to watch them go Night Night!  John loved it.
 Waiting to get in the 3-D Muppet Show.  Excellent show that we all enjoyed.
 One of our favorite nighttime shoes was Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios.  AMAZING!!!
 After the show was over John said "Now that's what I'm talkin' bout Mickey".  Hilarious!
 Best show at Disney!
 Mickey Mouse on top of the rock at the end of the show.  Almost as cool as Tinkerbell zipling from the top of Cinderella's Castle during the fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom.  Dave and I were both like was that really Tinkerbell zipling?  And yes - yes it was :)
Right before we left Hollywood Studios for the night we stopped by to give Woody and Buzz a hug.  John's quote was "I don't wanna hug no talkin' cowboy".  We all died laughing and decided to skip the hugs and head back to our home away from home at the Wilderness Lodge.
