Our Day Off~ October 24th 2011

Entering Disney property after running a few errands

The view from our new room...15th floor!

You can see the lazy river from our room.


Lauren kept claiming she wasn't tired and as soon as she laid down to watch television... passed out for 2 hours... thank goodness!  I took a cat nap myself.

For dinner we went over to the Polynesion Resort and ate at Ohana's.  It was fabulous!!  They brought meat out on sticks... steak, shrimp, pork and chicken.  Along with noodles, veggies, chicken wings and bread!  The kids all learned a Hula dance as well.


Chef Alejandro taught the kids the sign for "Hang Loose"

We had a WONDERFUL chef named Alejandro from Puerto Rico.  He was soooo good to Elise and made her TONS of food.  I think she had a crush on him because she would giggle when he would talk to her and afterwards she kept saying how much she liked our chef.


Chef asked her if this would be enough food for her.... hmmmm not sure it's enough!



Learning to Hula dance





After dinner we walked around for a bit and then went down to the beach to watch the fireworks show at Magic Kingdom.  There was also an electric water parade that was pretty cool!





Epcot~ October 23rd, 2011

 


These seagulls sound just like they do in the Nemo movie...  mine..mine.. mine..

After the Finding Nemo ride the kids ran around this play area.  There were aquariums big and small.  We even watched a dolphin show.

Lauren, Kennedy and Greg on the Figment of your imagination ride.


In the Land of Imagination



Getting ready to board Spacehip Earth (the giant ball at Epcot).


At the first country we went to (Mexico) the kids got a bear to color and then at each country after that they would get a stamp on the stick.  It kept them entertained since the World Showcase doesn't have much to offer for small kids.




The 3 Cabelleros ride in Mexico


Getting ready for the Princess Lunch at Akershus in Norway.






All of the girls dressed up!

The chef was so wonderful here.  He came out to talk to us about what Elise could have.  Then he walked through the salad bar and she picked out what she liked and he brought it out on a seperate plate so no cross contamination!  She had a blast!


Ariel came to visit!







Every time Lauren meets a character she will talk and talk and talk and talk....



We met Mulan in China



Mary Poppins in Britain

The girls found this old phone booth and wanted to "look worried".
