Disney World: Day 6

Tuesday, May 11th-  Our last day was divided between Epcot and the Magic Kingdom.  We started out at Epcot, because I was set on getting a free 5x7 photo and meet & greet with the characters, thanks to our Disney Visa card.  It didn't start until 11 a.m., so we rode some rides in the World Showcase and let Sawyer play with some musical instrument squares beforehand.   Tony wasn't very hip on the idea of waiting in line for the photo, but since I wasn't giving in, I waited for about 45 minutes for us to have a one-on-one photo time with Mickey, Minnie, & Goofy.  I think it was totally worth it and we got some super cute photos of Sawyer.  The bad part was our photo wouldn't be ready until after 3 p.m., so we would have to make a trip back to Epcot before they closed in order to pick it up.  Despite this, we hopped on the Tronorail over to the Magic Kingdom to spend the rest of our hours there


When we arrived, the Celebrate Parade was just beginning and we got to see Woody and some of Sawyer's favorite characters.  We played and explored for a couple hours before we had reservations at the Crystal Palace at 3:20 p.m.


Tony and I have eaten with Pooh and his Hundred Acre Wood friends before, but it was Sawyer's first time.  Some of my favorite photos were captured here.  I love Sawyer's face and his affection for Eeyore.  Thank goodness we had the dining plan or there is no way we would have wanted to fork out almost $80 for just mine and Tony's buffets.  The food was delicious and there was such a great variety to choose from, but that is a lot of money for one meal.  Sawyer topped off his mac n' cheese and pizza with a gigantic sugardoodle.  It was an awesome way to end our meals on our vacation. 



We squeezed in one more castle family photo, a shot in front of the train station at the entrance, and the Tronorail as we skipped back to Epcot before the Illuminations fireworks show was over.

Disney World: Day 5

Monday, May 10th-  We/I started off kinda slow this day, since we had been up until the wee hours of the morning enjoying our extra magic hours the night before.  When we came back to our room from our late night adventures, we found Sawyer's toy Woody doll sitting in the curtains in our window.  Disney does the funnest things when you stay there!  Sawyer was ready before I was, so he climbed in his stroller and said, "go go".  He was pretty patient, but Tony took him to play in the Goofy water squirters to keep him busy/happy, while I was getting ready .

Tony decided we needed to spend the day in the Magic Kingdom and make sure we got to do everything there we hadn't done yet.  With only 2 more days, I was fine with whatever made them both happy.  I didn't seem to get very many photos this day.  Tony might have some on the video camera that I could use, I'll have to look.  Before we got in the park, I already had to use the restroom (surprise, surprise).  On my way in, there was a hidden mickey stamped on the floor.  I still am not totally sure how they got in on the ground, but it was awesome.  I was so caught off guard that I stepped in it, so you can see my footprint in the middle of his mouth.
