Upon entering the Magic Kingdom, the first order of business was to pick up Ella's Mouse Ears (that we bought in the morning and left to be personalized) at the Chapeau.
They just leave the personalized Ears out on a big book shelf to go in and retrieve. Unfortunately, Ella's weren't there. There was another set of Ears with "Ella" on it, but not the ones we bought. Maybe the other Ella's parents liked ours better?
A CM quickly helped us get another pair and had her name put on them right away. 
She couldn't get them off fast enough!
Next we stopped for some family pictures on Main Street. I bought the photopass CD so I'll have to get around to getting them onto my computer. While we were stopped on Main Street, MIL wanted to look in a shop for some Hannah Montana souvenir for Avery. My boys had been eyeing the balloons on Main Street for the last few trips. When Kyle and Avery asked for them too, DH and I decided to treat them all. So we bought 4 balloons for about $40! We knew this would be the best day to buy them because at least they'd have them for 5 days before we had to go home.
We had time for a couple of attractions before Spectromagic, so first we did Mickey's Philharmagic and then our first, but certainly not last, ride on It's a Small World.
We found a good spot for Spectromagic and waited quite a while for it. As always, it's annoying when people try to get in front at the last minute. I felt bad for a couple of kids whose parents had planned well and were stuck way in back, so I let them come and sit in front of me. It made an uncomfortable squeeze for me, but it made the kids happy and I think that's what Disney is all about.
The balloons were annoying during the parade. We tried to hold them down so they wouldn't block anyone's view. They were even worse on the mass exit from the park--always bopping into us and others. Oops!
That's it for our 6th day! Coming up next: Animal Kingdom and Whispering Canyon Cafe

Thanks! I appreciate you commenting. It keeps me motivated to continue, even though it takes hours to upload pictures, change the sizes, and get things posted. At least with trying to keep three kids happy too, it does. 
But then before we even made it to the elevator, BIL had to return to the room to get something. We told him we'd meet him on the first floor. We waited, and waited, and no BIL. 
I'm sure glad we caught up to him before that or I can't imagine what would have happened! 
We were on a beach somewhere when 2 Japanese young ladies asked to take Ella's picture, then asked us to take their picture with our kids!
