Animal Kingdom

Giraffes, rhinos, and zebras oh my!  

Jack rode the primeval whirl for the first time!  

We found Nemo during the live musical production.

The Yeti almost got us!  Still Jack's favorite ride.  Mine too.

Bronwyn licked a pink Popsicle for 7 straight hours.

We ordered a funnel cake that was raw inside.  Jack was so sad and then Gitar Dan sang him a song about it.

Bronwyn flirted with the alligator through your the Lion King show and then he selected her to be in the show!  She paraded around with the animals beating a bongo.  Jack got to tag along!

And Jack waited in line for 25 minutes to meet Pocahontas.  His favorite.  She was a few minutes late for her arrival.  At one past the expected arrival time Jack said, "I hope she isn't one of those people."  

She wasn't.  

Epcot

As we approached jack said, "look there's the giant ball of futurness"  

Breakfast with princesses!  Bronwyn held  Cinderella's hand during the princess processional.

Jack landed him some princess kisses!

We conquered mission space, test track and soarin.

Slept around the world ;)

And ate with Chip and Dale!  Literally.  After a tickle war, in which Jack lost, Chip sat with us to steal our food.  Not a bad day at all :)

Magic Kingdom Day One

A few quotes:

"Wow, I didn't know Princess morning could be so much fun!"  Jack

"Mom, look at the high detailing." Jack

"Goofy is purple your favorite colour?"  

"Cinderella is blue your favorite colour?"

"Sleeping Beauty is pink your favorite colour?"   Bronwyn

Jack danced with Belle and fought Captain Jack Sparrow.  Bronwyn got a hug from more princesses than a lunchbox can display ;)

Picture of the day:

My Pumpkin

An interesting way to celebrate the season...spooky pumpkin pancake!

Look Mom...No Wheels

Training wheels that is...

He asked if he could try riding his bike without training wheels.  dad took them off and this is what happened.

Go Jack Go!

10, 9 , 8, 7, 6...

Jack had an idea.  Let's do a countdown to our annual Disney Vacation.  So we painted a few popsicle sticks.  Glued on Mickey heads.  Numbered the sticks and I secretly noted an 'activity' to each stick. 

Voila!

So far they have:

• Emailed Mickey Mouse
• Drawn a map of Magic Kingdom labeling our MUST DO attractions
• Wrote a letter to our favorite character
• Watched a Disney Movie
• Painted a pumpkin silver to look like Cinderella's coach

And tonight the kids mad their list of the top five characters they want to meet when we head to the World...

This one belongs to Bronwyn.  Okay...do you see five characters?  Now take a guess at who they are...ready?  in clockwise order:

Mike (Monsters Inc.), Bullseye (Toy Story) Ariel, Mickey Mouse and Cinderella. 

This one might be easier (given it is LABELED!!!)  Captain Hook; Phineas and Ferb; Mickey; Pocahontas (he lovesssssss her) and Lightening McQueen/Mater. 

Let's see if their lists change as much as their Halloween Costumes ;)

Spooky Part II

I am not sure why Halloween is such a popular holiday in this house.  My kids missed the memo about fear of monsters, zombies and mummy's (oh my!)

Disney Family Date Night



It began when Jack pulled the night's Disney Countdown activity...

Disney On Ice!!!

Dinner with our loved ones!!!

 

 Kids get requisite souvenirs dipping into their college fund and never to be seen again ;)

 

 Let the show begin!!!

 

Bronwyn was excited to meet her alter ego (remember when she called herself Alice?)



This one waited until intermission for his Cotton Candy



This one did not.

Villains made a spooky appearance!

The Gang closed the show!!!

But even with all the fun...at some point it's time to say "See ya real soon!" and "Sleep tight!"

Thanks for a wonderful date night kids! 

Spooky

Halloween catalogs are part of her nightly bedtime stories.  She begs others to show her zombie videos, and now she wants to bring this 'baby doll' home for cuddling.
