2012 Recap: Day 6 Magic Kingdom part 2

Remember how I told you Chef Mickey's is no long my favorite place for breakfast?? Let me introduce you to my new favorite...


 I booked this reservation for 1 reason. 1 on 1 time with Mary Poppins. If you didn't know-I ADORE her! 

 Well-this place was the BEST breakfast I have had at Walt Disney World. From the "special juice"
 To the Strawberry soup! IT WAS AMAZING! We ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, and ate.....






 the buffet was full of everything from design your own omelet  to the famous Micky Waffles.


 There was tons of Jams and Toast as well (A broadus family favorite...I know. We are weird!)




Next it was on to Magic Kingdom! We split up again (I recommend doing this with groups after a few days...we enjoyed our friends and they enjoyed us but it was also nice to have a family vacation on the side.)





 We rode all the rides. Literally. EVERY. LAST. ONE.
















We ate more food (this my friends-quick service at the Harbour House)









 Then we surprised the kiddos with a trip to the Pirate's League. It was the most fun surprise of the trip!!
 Picking out their Pirate Names....
 Getting their makeup done.



 A little new do for the new Jake....
 and yes...our diva fell asleep in the makeup chair ;)



 see....passed out. hahahah she loved it!

The big girl was 100% into the whole pirate garb.

 After a short nap-she was back with us!






 We took in the afternoon parade and had some turkey legs....
 and frozen lemonade....










 Then we took this picture of our pirates at the train station!

 It was our last night at Disney and we had a ton of snack credits left. So what did we do....We snacked....
 and snacked......
 and snacked.....
 Then rode some more!!!

It was a great day!

2012 Trip Recap: Day 5 ANIMAL KINGDOM

Day 5 we had planned a full day at Disney Animal Kingdom. I have said before I love Animal Kingdom because I am a huge Animal lover-this trip-NOT SO MUCH. Let's Recap.

 As soon as we got to Animal Kingdom-we made a beeline to the Safari-(Same as before) We saw many animals and enjoyed it (as always)

 The kids were big enough this year for some roller coaster action so they took on Mt. Everest. Madyson says it was the scariest ride! But she did it twice :)
 Then we did Kali river rapids. Aubrie Kate had her swimsuit on under her clothes because-we knew how wet she was going to get and we didn't want to hear her complain all day about being soaked. So right before the ride-I jerked her clothes off (leaving on her shoes) and this is what she was wearing as we walked into the ride. ONLY to be turned away because she wasn't dressed. The cast member told us "This isn't a water park-she needs to have clothes on" oh okay-sorry :/ FYI-wear clothes.
 After we were dressed and soaked from Kali River Rapids we decided to get fast passes again for Mt. Everest before heading to lunch. I snapped this famous photo only minutes before the bottom fell out. Now, it rains in Disney a lot and we through on our ponchos and were ready to proceed but yall. It was like a flood. IT RAINED....AND RAINED...AND RAINED...
 We seeked shelter (and BBQ) at the Flametree



 After an hour we had a break so we got in line and saw Finding Nemo and Lion King...only after lion king we came out to MORE RAIN. SO much rain we had to buy new shoes. thank goodness for those Disney Flip Flops!

We left early-and we were wet. But our spirits weren't dampened because the rain cleared in time for Dinner on the Boardwalk at the best restaurant Kouzzina. (you can read my review here)
