Orlando Fun...Day 6

Monday, May 11
The Magic Kingdom

We did a short day so we could come back to the timeshare and rest and relax before a LONG day at Epcot Center. Aunt Dinah and Aunt Rosie came in today from Chicago so the kids were wired. It's like having a 3rd vacation for them with so many relatives coming in at different times to visit with us. Taylor immediately attached herself to Aunt Dinah's hip...I think she even slept with her that night. And the boys are alternating between hanging out with Aunt Rosie and Nana. Hee hee, I LOVE the additional hands and the kids LOVE the extra entertainment.

We got there around 8:35am (TCC) and rode on the Ferryboat over to the Magic Kingdom. Today we rode on:
Peter Pan's Magic Flight (all of us)
Splash Mountain (Dad, Jax, Me)
-- We immediately walked into the ride and sat in the front row. Normally this ride has a 30+ minute wait. We got soaked and almost rode it again but decided against it since we were split up from Nana, Anthony and Taylor on the other side of the park.
Dumbo (Nana, AJ, Tay)
Mickey's Philharmagic (Nana, AJ, Tay)
Corn Dog/food stop (Dad, Jax, Me)
Peter Pan's Magic Flight (all of us)
It's A Small World (all of us)
Haunted Mansion (all of us)
Columbia Harbour House for lunch (all of us)
Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor (all of us)
Anthony and Jackson inside waiting for Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor to arrive.

Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin (all of us)
The three kids inside the jail cell with the Evil Zurg.

It's A Small World (all of us)
Then we got ice cream/popsicles and left for the Timeshare around 2:45pm.

Nana and I left to pickup Aunt Rosie and Aunt Dinah from the Car Rental Place. Then we came back to the Timeshare and off to Key W. Kools for dinner. It was AWESOME Oak Wood Grilled Steaks. My aunts found out what expensive palettes my kiddos have. Calamari, Shrimp Scampi, Ribs, Steak, Seafood Bisque were just a little bit of what the kids ate. Plus Gator Bites...Fried Alligator Tails and they taste...like CHICKEN!!!! After dinner we headed home and Anthony had to complete more homework, while Jackson and Taylor entertained Nana, Aunt Dinah and Aunt Rosie some more.
Tony checking over some of Anthony's homework.
