Feb 26th - Cinderella's Castle and more Kim Possible

Today was the day the girls were looking forward to.  Breakfast in the Castle.   This is an overpriced event, but it was the only place my girls asked to go.  So after booking and paying for this outrageous costing event, of course, Meagan's medicine hadn't kicked in yet.

Our reservations were for 8 am, so we got up and ready to leave by 7:15.  As you can guess Meagan was not a happy camper.  Jeff carried her into the car and we promised to push her in the stroller once on our way.  We arrived at the Magic Kingdom and waited in the reservations line.

Finally it was our turn.  Walking up main street with almost no one in the park.  I even got a photo of the castle with no one in front of it.

Inside the castle, while setting up my camera for the lighting, my battery died.  Sarah had her camera, but I don't have those photos uploaded yet.

So this morning is when my brain was not working.  They  brought the baby french toast sticks.  Now he is sensitive to  egg, it wasn't until his face turned red later in the day that I realized that there was egg in french toast.  I was just not thinking--of course neither was my hubby or teen in my defense.  Thankfully after a dose of antihistamines he was fine.

Breakfast was relaxing, we did not feel rushed and we had another fabulous castmember serving us.  Meagan started perking up once Ariel showed up, though she didn't eat anything. (a very expensive meeting with Ariel).  The kids got wishing stars, wands and when Gillian decided she would rather have a sword, the CM brought each of them a sword and the baby a wand, so they each had one of each.

After breakfast, we tried to catch the tangled gathering, but it was already filled and we would have had to wait in line for an hour for the next one.  We were second in line.  We watched the event, and for less than 5 minutes the kids dance with the characters and then line up for photos and autographs.  Not worth the hour wait, even the girls didn't want to wait.  So shopping was in our plans.  First I had a ride on Snow White with Sarah for the last time.  The Cast Members were told it would be closing in April -though they thought it might be April of 2012.  (only time will tell).   Gillian went on the Carousel with MIL then into some shops.  Then we all went to ride Carousel of Progress.  This was the rest that Meagan needed to start bouncing back.  Everyone enjoyed it.

Next Jeff, Sarah and Meagan used our super fast passes for space mountain, while the rest of us rode the people mover twice.

Then off to do some final shopping.  We bought lots of things and once again got a 20% discount.  The final thing we did in the Magic Kingdom was buy Mickey ears for the girls.  Then back to our room to have a snack, swim and pack up to be ready to leave for our cruise the next day.  Plus our stroller was being picked up between 2 and 3.

Meagan was feeling much better after swimming.

So we were packed and ready to head to our reservations for chef de france.  We had a fabulous waiter, who enjoyed that Sarah could speak french.  It was funny neither of them could think of how to say almond in french. 

We were seated at a window overlooking the street.  There were beautiful flower Almond trees in our view.  It was fabulous.  We were also lucky to see the last visit by "The Chef"  for the day.

We were off to Save the World again.  This time it was Japan and Germany.  We had to wait to sign in, so we decided to go ride spaceship earth.  The warning at the beginning about dark closed spaces, freaked out Gillian and I so we went to innoventions while the rest rode spaceship earth.  MIL was not impressed that we stopped in line and turned around to exit, but it is what happens when you take none ride people to any theme park.

In innoventions the girls all made paper (everyone met us there) and then we walked around world showcase to Italy to get our assignments.  

At this point the tension with MIL and family was huge.  Sarah went with Gillian and MIL to make sure that they didn't get lost, and Jeff , Meagan, baby and I went to Germany.  We had to insist on meeting at Italy at the lady and the tramp, as MIL felt this wasn't a good meeting place. (yet it was between Germany and Japan)

Meagan hit a wall in the middle of saving Germany.  She finished it, but Jeff had to carry her.   She had to make a stop at Rapunzel's tower to listen to her sing.

I met Sarah in Italy, who was also done.  Apparently MIL got lost and wouldn't listen to Sarah on the correct direction.  So all of us back together headed our of the parks for the last time.

We had asked MIL to have her suitcase ready to put in the car that night so we could pack it up, but when we got back to the villa, she went straight to her room and we didn't see her until morning.

I managed to get everything packed, but I was not planning on bringing home 7 beach towels, so it was fun getting everything packed away.
