House calls....a thing of the past?

Not for 'Ma' - Now that we have a 'beautician in the house', Britt makes regular stops to keep Ma's hair trimmed. It is getting harder and harder for her to get out so it not only lets her stay in but also allows her and Britt to spend some 'quality time'.

One last photo..

Yes, I am a nerd but I just had to get the tripod out and take a 'partial' family picture before we left..

Wrapping it up....

Let's see, what did we do today? Well, we actually slept in. Everyone was really tired so we started off with brunch. Nothing beats eggs, sausage and pancakes on the grill!

After that, we headed to catch the boat then the monorail to Epcot. Our goal was to get a fastpass for Soarin' but we weren't successful. Everyone must gotten the e:mail, LOL! But, we did see some beautiful flowers (the 2009 Flower & Garden Festival was underway) and ran into Chip and Dale. They put on quite a show, trying to put Chase's shirt on and getting people in the park to fill up Cierra's bag. They were very interested in my bag, looking for snacks. Chip even took my cell phone and tried to make a call :-) We took a ride through The Seas with Nemo and Friends (makes us want to put our salt water tank back together). We had a great afternoon in Epcot then headed back to the campground. Ronnie went to pick up our new tire from Goodyear while Cierra and I did laundry and went shopping. Chase of course, was out and about with his friends.

After going to the pool for a while we stopped by the Sing-along Campfire then at Cierra's request made our final visit to Wilderness Lodge for some last minute pin trading.

No one wants to leave but all great adventures have an end. So, we'll pack in the morning then head north - another great vacation in Disney!

worth every minute...

100,000 people (some of them rude), tons of strollers and more than 110 minutes in lines but none of it mattered once we saw Cierra's face when she met Tinkerbell! Yeah, I have to agree that the Magic Kingdom really is the happiest place on earth. Tinkerbell had her typical 'attitude' and even picked on Chase. She tried to tell the other fairies he looked like Terrence, lol. Cierra is so happy she got to meet Tinkerbell and two of the other fairies; Rosetta and Iridessa.

After breakfast we headed to Magic Kingdom where it was already really busy. We quickly got in line for Stitch's Escape (which by the way completely freaked me out :-) then headed over to Mickey and Minnie's house to ride the Barnstormer. Ronnie and Chase got fastpasses for Space Mountain. The rides we were interested in had really long lines so we opted for more fast passes. By 5:00 we were heading back to the RV to chill out for a while, hit the pool and eat dinner.

Around 9:30 we headed back to catch the boat at the marina and were hoping to make Tinkerbell flying at 10:00. The boat mate tried but we got caught up in the water show so just missed seeing her actually fly. We did see the fireworks which were beautiful.

Once we made it through the crowd,we found a good spot to watch the Spectro Magic parade, LOVE IT!! By midnight we were on Thunder Mountain Railroad (never done it in the dark) and we all loved it. If the line wasn't still 40 minutes we would have ridden again. We shopped a little then headed back to the dock. We rode the first boat coming back to the campground and were in bed by 2:00 a.m. Shew...

Believe...

Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy & Pluto; Oh my!

Another busy but fun day -

We started off with breakfast at the O'hana and ended with Dinner at the Contemporary. Lots of good food and great company :-)

Chase & Cierra decided to get autographs on a t-shirt and canvas bag instead of the normal 'autograph books'. It really was a cool idea and I'm sure they have started a trend, LOL.

We read some reviews about the Chef Mickey experience and weren't quite sure what to expect. It sounded like you either loved it or hated it, nothing in the middle. Luckily we loved it.

Here's some fun pictures of them enjoying the moment.....

Priceless...

Pin Trading...

After swimming for a while, Cierra decided she wanted to take the boat over to Wilderness Lodge for some pin trading. Once we got there, she not only was reunited with Ignez (a lady who has worked there for 7 years at the pin trading kiosk and we have seen year after year) but she also met a little girl named Jessica who just got into pin trading. Jessica traded a 2009 Tinkerbell pin that Cierra has not been able to find, woo hoo!

Love the Lazy River...

We hit Typhoon Lagoon today. This was our first time visiting this Disney park. It was as expected; beautiful! Completely tropical and twenty times the size of Seacrets in OC. The wave pool was so powerful it was scarey. Chase and Ronnie had lots of fun but Cierra and I ran when the wave started. When the roar souned, we were outta there!!

Cierra and I spent a lot of time in the lazy river, just floating along with water hitting us at just the perfect time :-) We did go down Gangplank Falls which was the family white water rafting adventure. Oh my, yes we got soaked!! We all liked Crush 'n Gusher which was an intense water coaster.

Chase is off playing basketball with his buddies and we're heading to the pool. Campfire starts at 7:30 then "Finding Nemo" is on the big screen.

It was a great day in Disney today!

Sunny and beautiful - we started off a little later than planned but had a delicious breakfast at Trails End - lots of Mickey waffles. After that we headed to Hollywood Studios (I didn't realize the name had changed from MGM). Chase and Ronnie rode the Tower of Terror - I'll have to post the picture later of Chase's face :-) They also rode the Rockin' Rollercoaster while Cierra and I enjoyed ice cream and the sun. Chase had the idea to go see the "Lights, Motors, Action" - sports show. The next show was not until 5:30 so we weren't sure if we were going to stay. While we were trying to figure it out, some Cast members approached us and asked us to be the CELEBRATION FAMILY! How cool is that!? So, they told us to come back at 5:00 and tell them who we were. As part of the deal, we got front row seats and got to be on 'the big screen' to say "LIGHTS, MOTORS, ACTION". It was great!!

We wrapped up the evening swimming in the Meadow Swimming Hole then had steaks on the grill!

We miss you guys, Britt, J, Ash and Kayden! btw Britt - the Easter Bunny did find us :-)
