Fueling Up
Another typical cost savings breakfast....myself and the two littlest are eating oatmeal we brought with - utilizing the hot water in the Pop food court. The others have been here and there buying from the food court. We have a big day ahead of us...that's right, it won't be a glimpse this time.

nothing wrong with that.
I brought muffins with us for DDs breakfasts/snacks.
 
Return of the Jedi's
Ok, so we aren't exactly the Jedi Order (though I did stay at a Holiday Inn one night)...more like a band of the Lothal Rebels...like the Ghost Team. That big lizzard looking one on the left, Garazeb Orrelios, the short tempered impatient one, yeah, i'm the one two to the right of him (but I think Mamaduck may disagree).

March of the First Order​

I think 1/2 our suburban was packed with food! Breakfast and snacks....it adds up to a big savings with 7 people for 10+ days.
 


Intellectually Not True Mid-Day Meal

Lunch today is at our favorite lunch place at DHS..Sci-Fi Dine-In! It took a while to get our table. They had a big jug of ice water however to relax and cool down.

Beer for me (that yummy apple juice beer Angry Orchard); milkshakes for the kids.

It's the Muppet Show!

It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight
It's time to put on make up
It's time to dress up right
It's time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight....

WALDORF: They aren’t half bad.
STATLER: Nope, they’re ALL bad!

STATLER:
I wonder if there really is life on another planet.
WALDORF: Why do you care? You don’t have a life on this one?

WALDORF: What’s all the commotion about?
STATLER: Waldorf, the bunny ran away!
WALDORF: Well, you know what that makes him
BOTH: Smarter than us!

 


For the First Time in Forever

After the Muppet Vision, we make it over to...

The kids have a blast. I won't spoil it if you have not done it yet....

The little ones can't go on and Mamaduck has vertigo....she is headed to the coffee shop. I can't recall if we used our next FP+ on TZTOT...but I know we head to the coffee shop as well to get iced coffee...hot and tired.

I spy Mamaduck and some ducklings following her:

Back to the resort. DS and the 2 littles and I go swimming. We eat at Pop Food Court and my two oldest DD's head back to DHS to spend their Friday night using EMH's. They said it was very busy (as expected) and got back late. There was a car accident outside the park and no buses were coming in/out. I gave them options:
1. Wait it out
2. Walk to Boardwalk and grab a cab
3. Walk to Boardwalk and I'll come pick them up.

They waited it out

This morning we are finally going to watch Festival of the Lion King. WOW is it hot and miserable out already! We have never watched this show in past visits :-(

What a great show!

You ain't lion!
 
The Sea Mollusk says to the Cucumber...

Marlin: There was this mollusk, and he walks up to this sea cucumber. Normally, they don't talk, sea cucumbers, but in a joke everyone talks. So the sea mollusk says to the cucumber...
[sees the mask]
Marlin: Nemo!
Chum: [laughing] Nemo! Ha ha! Nemo... I don't get it.
Bruce: For a clown fish, he's not that funny.

Nemo is the last of the shows...I have done them all (I think)! Even saw the Aladdin show at DL earlier this year. - which is very good. Very very good Genie.

Let's go, let's go! Carnotaurs!

Up next is Dinosaur again. I'm trying to get the 4yo all excited to go on Dinosaur again. She appears to be on-board with it...until we get closer. The conversation is much like this:

Aladar [me]: It's dark, but at least it's dry.
Eema [4yo]: I like dry. It's the dark part I'm having trouble with.

So the rest go on and DD and I wander off....she really wanted to go on the "Cera" ride....not the scary dinosaur ride. She did stop to pose for pictures.

After this, we hit It's Tough to be a Bug and bug out...its too hot and we are getting hungry. We have, what turned out to be, the most amazing dinner we have ever had at WDW.

Family is All Together
We make our way to the Poly for dinner. Any guesses where we are going? Family...together...

Oldest DD's catching up on Social time.
