Day 2 MK Day & Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party Day
Weather: high of 77 degrees, low of 53 degrees
What we wore: pants and t-shirts
My family is lazy.
We enjoy sleeping in too much to have ever been to a rope drop and this trip was no exception. As a matter of fact, we were worse this time. Id booked any breakfast ADRs we had around 10am to give us ample time to get there, but even still, we were always rushing and several times we were late. That sometimes resulted in us waiting a long time to be seated and then threw off our schedules for the rest of the day. Youd think wed learn after the first time
..
In the planning stages of this trip, Id asked the kids what one meal they most wanted to go to, and unanimously it was Ohana Breakfast with Lilo and Stitch.
Weve been every trip and is hands down our favorite. You arrive on the monorail, the Poly is gorgeous, Stitch is Alexs favorite character, Demetri loves playing with Pluto, Ariana loves to march in the parade to Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride and we all love the yummy Ohana juice what more could we ask for? Well to arrive on time for one thing.
Leaving our room that morning, I took a few shots of our finished window decorations. Id had to pick up a pair of scissors in our Walmart jaunt the night before to cut out the do-it-yourself window clings Id created. The gel clings were super cool and the holly berries looked like little red Mickey heads
.
A quick trip across the parking lot to the bus area
.. (look at Arianas hair *hint* *hint* *nudge* *nudge* for later!)
and a monorail ride
..
George went to check us in while the kids and I wandered.
The Ohana photographer was very sweet and gave Baby Simba his own lei while we lined up to have our photo taken.
I handed my camera to the second photographer and asked if theyd mind using it to take our picture and she answered, Sure, no problem then proceeded to place it down on the nearby bar and not use it.
Oh well. We were led to our table and our server brought out the bread, coffee, juice and breakfast platter.
(The
where were we sneak peak picture!)
Soon, the parade began and as soon as Ariana heard the song, she was off. Demetri on the other hand suddenly got a case of nerves and said he only wanted to go if Alex came with him. By the time we got organized to go, the parade was done and hed missed it.
Through the course of the meal we didnt see any characters going around and we began to worry wed miss them. Our server reassured us they were coming but it wasnt until forty minutes had gone by
that finally they came around our corner one by one. They were fabulous as usual once we met them we always have a lot of fun at Ohana, but from being seated to the last character visiting us, it was an hour and a half.

!! I think the car rental and discount store illustrated to George he shouldn't deviate too much from the plans. 
We had so much fun with Baby Simba this trip... and soon, Baby Simba gains a new relative.
