Disney Springs and Flight Home
We slept in a little later Saturday morning. Everyone went to get breakfast at the dining hall while Cooper and I stayed in the room. He was eating oatmeal and I was getting ready and packing up our suitcases. While I was drying my hair I heard Nana's adjoining door slam closed and Cooper had locked me out. So I'm in my room and Cooper is in the other room by himself. He would not let me in so every few minutes I would put my ear to the door to make sure I could hear sesame street on his ipad. When everyone got back and Nana and papa went into their room they saw Cooper on the bed, all the sheets taken off the beds, all of their luggage and stuff rolled into the bathroom and everything else piled up on shelves!!After breakfast we took a bus to Disney Springs. We went into the big toy stores and the Lego store. Hank bought Lego's with his money and we bought him the X2 mission space spaceship from the ride. Cooper got a t shirt and a toy story ball. It was the hottest day yet so we didn't hang around too long. We went into the Christmas shop and the star wars store. We had lunch at Wolfgang Puck which is always one of our favorites. Robert and Kimberly were eating there as well! We also used up all of our snack credits at Goofeys Candy CO. We ran into the Cossars again outside of the toy store. We all hung around there for a bit while Papa took Hank and Quinn to go build little droids that they could bring home. Cooper sat in the Cossar's stroller while Robert rolled him around and I got one last dole whip at a stand across the street! We took the bus back to the hotel where we sat and waited for a bit. Papa and Nana wanted to get Cooper something too, and he really liked the little bubble machines. He lit up when they bought it for him and he ran it solid until the bubbles were gone and it was time to get on the bus. We got on the magical express to the airport. We sat in the food court on the floor and the kids played with their droids and ate happy meals. We boarded the plane and Quinn insisted on he and Hayes sitting together. So Zac sat with them, and I sat with Hank and Robert and Coop sat with Nana and Papa. Quinn ended up falling asleep and was so exhausted that when the plane landed and he woke up, he had peed all in his seat. He was soaked and was crying. We took his pants off and I wrapped a sweatshirt around him and carried him to baggage claim where we changed his clothes. Park and Fly was amazing. They had our cars ready, trunks open and water bottle on the dash board. Great experience with them.
Hank wanted a picture of the hot air balloon
Hayes and Quinn
I came home to a birthday surprise from Dad and Gina. Dad cased in all my windows with wood! It looks so much better!
I took off work and we slept in on Sunday. Zac made me waffles and bacon for my birthday breakfast. The kids played with their new toys and we had dinner at Chillis. I had to wake the kids up for school Monday morning. They are still tired.
We are home and tired and all a little sad. It's always so magical at Disney, so coming home is always tough. Plus....it is freezing here. Literally snowed Monday morning and in the 30's. Such a wonderful week and sweet time with Family.
Magic Kingdom
We slept a tiny bit later since we had been up late the night before. We arrived at Magic Kingdom, took some photos and headed to breakfast at Be Our Guest! Breakfast was great. I actually liked it better than the lunch we had there a few years ago. The kids were very ready to ride rides. We did Mickey's Philharmagic, Pooh bear again, 7 Dwarfs Mine Train again and Peter Pan. Quinn and Hank wanted to ride with each other by themselves on Peter Pan and were so disappointed that they wouldn't let them. So when we got on 7 Dwarfs Mine train, they let those 2 ride together. We got some snacks, I got the peter pan lime cone which I loved! One of top snacks from the week. Zac got the pineapple upside down cake with dole whip on top, that was delicious. We watched Festival of Fantasy again in front of Liberty Tree Tavern. After that we went over to Haunted Mansion. The kids were nervous about that one. They had never ridden it but they all did good. It was getting so hot so we walked over to sit near Pirates of the Caribbean, Papa, Hank and Nana walked through Swiss Family tree house while I sat down with Cooper to feed him some lunch. We stayed at the table for quite a while to cool him off and let him rest. Zac took Hank and Quinn to get cookies at the confectionery and then came back to sit with us. Cooper loved watching the little birds eat crumbs off the ground. He laughed when I would toss them a little of his peanut butter and they would eat it right up. After this we rode Pirates again and bought Quinn his pirate hat, sword and ship in the gift shop. We then had a fast pass for Splash Mountain. I have always hated that ride, but the kids loved it. So we did that and then Papa, Zac and me took Hank and Quinn on big thunder mountain. I think we all enjoyed that one! We ate dinner at Columbia Harbor House where the kids got ALL of their energy back! We took up 3 tables because Cooper insisted sitting at a table by himself to play with Kermit and Fozzy. After dinner We went to the Tangled bathrooms. I wanted pictures under the lanterns, and then we staked our spot for Happily Ever After. Nana and Papa took Quinn to ride the carousel since he had been wanting to ride that. I picked up our package at the front of the park and then when I got back to our fireworks spot it was packed and they had made everyone stand up and squish together. That's my favorite though, I could watch it every night. I had Quinn on my shoulders, Hank on Zac's and Cooper on Papa's. After that we decided not to fight the crowd and just hang around for a bit. We went upstairs to the train station and let the kids play while we watched Once Upon a Time.
They were so nice to us when we got in line for the little mermaid. It said a 25 minute wait and we had a disability pass on Pooh bear that didn't start yet. The guy stepped out and said it was actually a 55 minute wait from where we were and since I couldn't put down 2 disability passes at the same time, he just let us cut line and go through the fast pass line anyway. They were so good to us all week!
