Fantasmic Show

This day was rough....we were all so tired and even Ayla was just trying to avoid falling asleep.   We had Chef Mickey's early and got to the park at a good hour.  We stayed there till after lunch and went back to the room so the guys could take Ayla to the pool one more time before we left!  Hollywood studios was fun but Magic Kingdom was by far our favorite!  We saw the Little Mermaid Show, it was so cool-we would highly recommend it.  We rode the Great Movie ride which Ayla really liked surprisingly.  We went back to the room and Karen and I passed out like full on set your alarm for an hour from now for fear you may never wake up kind of sleep.  Which I felt like the wicked witch of the west when I rose....We rushed to get everyone awake and ready for our dinner reservations at Hollywood & Vine and the Fanstasmic Show later that night.  The dinner was really good, we tried killing as much time as possible inside the a/c since we had hours to kill before the show at 9.  We went in the shops and sat on corners and people watched.  And finally it was time to head up to the show, we were exhausted.  The show started and it was really awesome!  Ayla loved where the characters floated by on boats, we were having a grand ole time UNTIL.....I look over at Ayla she's got something in her mouth and I see glow in the dark liquid all over her legs.  Yes, she had bitten the glow stick!! I freaked out, luckily the show was over because we booked it outta there and I was calling poison control.  The package said non-toxic but "do not ingest" as well.  So I figured better safe than sorry.  Everything was fine and it ended up being the adrenaline rush we needed to make it to our car.
The next morning we packed up our stuff and drove 6 hours home somehow.  We were all so tired when we got home, it was a great week!

Our Disney Vacation-Day 3 Sea World

Entrance to Sea World!

(yes I am wearing tennis shoes with a dress, I wasn't proud of this-but my ankles recommended it)

Watching the Dolphin show

We found some A/C in the Abby and Elmo Show

We had just seen the shark tank and Ayla was terrified of this fake shark

The penguin tank

We all rode the SkyView thing....

We thought Sea World was pretty overpriced.  We ended up paying over 400$ for all of us to get in and with Ayla not being amused by shows the kids area wasn't big enough to entertain us for the amount of time we needed to make it worth the money.  But we had to experience it with her and I was glad she got to go. She was more interested in the shops than anything else.  

This day was also Scott's Birthday and we went back to the cabin got our suits on and went down to the pool that we hadn't had any time to enjoy.  They have a big slide and Ayla loved it!! After that we went back to the room and got dressed for our dinner show at the Hoop-Dee-Doo review.  It was really funny and a great end to our day!

Our Disney Vacation-Day 2 Magic Kingdom

We rode the ferry from the parking area into Magic Kingdom, it was Ayla's first boat ride!

Leaving Epcot 

Dinner was in Norway

The end to a great day!

We had so much fun at Magic Kingdom, this was probably the best day.  It was a very long and tiring day but was filled with great memories.  We rode the Peter Pan ride (which Ayla really loved), Buzz Lightyear ride, Race cars, It's A Small World, Tea Cups, Dumbo Ride, Carousel, we also had an appointment at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique for the Castle Package and Ayla loved it.  She was carrying on her own conversation with her "fairy godmother" and loved her plastic face guard from the hairspray.  She told her "mommy always gets it in my eyes"-haha.  After that we went for her photo shoot where she got three shots taken in her gown.  We were crunched for time but squeezed in a few more rides before catching the ferry back to our car for the princess dinner at Epcot.  This is where it got interesting.  Our dinner was at 6:30 and we were running late we got to Epcot rather quickly but we followed signed to Norway and must have passed right by it because we found ourselves past Germany before finding out that we missed Norway almost the entire walk back.  We must have walked 3 miles after a full day in the heat and my ankles couldn't have gotten any fatter.  I had to sit down I got so overheated. But we made it and once we all cooled down we enjoyed the dinner.  I was in such a hurry that we left the cooler with the enzymes all the way back in the car, so Scott volunteered to trek all the way back for them and returned just as the food came out.  We were all dead tired at this point.  Ayla got pictures and autographs from all 5 of the princess's for her book and ate up all of her cheese ravioli.  

Ayla was running on empty and was being extra silly when we got back to our cabin.  She tries to keep herself awake when she gets over-tired by acting crazy.  She was such a trooper.  We saw so many kids throw terrible fits and our Ayla was a doll!! 

Oh yea, while inside Magic Kingdom we stopped at a little shop where they did portraits and profile cut outs.  Karen wanted to get a profile picture of Ayla and I wanted a portrait drawn of her.  She was not into it and it was very hot but when they guy was done it looked NOTHING like her.  So we have a beautiful drawing of some strange little girl who is not our own.  Don't know what I will do with it but it was a funny part of a great day!
