Here's where the day gets screwed up. We split up because the wait for the Speedway was long and Kyle was dying to go to Pirates of the Caribbean. His dad took him there. Grandpa and I were going to take Max and Jake to Buzz Lightyear, but it was busy so we went to AstroOrbiters instead (turns out, also busy!) I think DH, Grandma, and SIL took Avery and Ella to It's a Small World. The girls would do that over and over again!

While I like that AstroOrbiters is up high--it looks cool. It seemed to take a lot longer than at
Disneyland. Maybe it's just me.
Buzz Lightyear also is much busier at MK than at DL.
This splitting up and riding only one ride took forever! BIL got caught in a parade and he was the other person with a cell phone. We did all end up meeting just fine at our lunch spot despite delays and poor communication.
We had lunch at Cosmic Ray's.
Thanks to all my reading on he DISboards, I knew I was going to have an iced mochacino here. It's awesome that it counts as a drink on the dining plan. I don't even remember what we ate! I do think it's weird that they don't make a hot dog kid's meal though.
Couldn't resist a close-up of Jacob's hair. By lunchtime it was dry. You can see the confetti/pixie dust if you will. It was not going to be easy to get this stuff out tonight!
Avery and Max and some grown-ups went out to see Storytime with Belle. It was across the way. Jacob is a slow eater, so I waited with him to finish eating. Then he made up his own game with the hulahoops they had available in the restaurant.
Max and Avery were picked to participate in Storytime, but they were too shy to go up. Too bad.
Afterward, Max played with bubbles being blown in the street. It always amazes me that the simplest things draw the kids. Who needs all these fancy attractions, anyway?
Next up: We split up again. Will it turn out as well as last time?
And to finish the day, dinner at CRT and Wishes.
