Today we had yet another early brekkie - up at 5am !! We did actually decide to forget about trying to adjust as at least we were getting to the parks early before the crowds.
When we woke up we found thta overnight camerons eye had swollen and was oozing lots of discharge - it looked so sore and he wouldnt stop messing with it. I was very aware that if we took him anywhere we would be a long time explaining his medical history and then how on earth do we find a hospital that knows how to deal with an artificial eye?? After a few tears I decided we would put in loads of his steriod drops ( talk about overdosing a kid!!) Then I covered his eye in Vaseline so it would stop sticking together. He was screaming in pain the whole time I was doing it but I knew any hosp wouldnt really be able to help us and a trip to them would be rather pointless. After a while he calmed down and we agreed to go find mickey mouse see if he could make him smile :confused3

So we headed for Animal Kingdom

The weather was actually like it should be in Florida today a nice 30 degrees and that did loads to lift our spirits!!
Our first stop was the its tough to be a bug - Me and keira chickened out right at the last minute and instead decided to people watch !! I think we had the most fun - there is something about keira that draws people to here and a band was playing a litle way down the street. Keira was dancing in the middle of the path completly blocking the way and to my surprise people actually started joining her by the time the boys came out there was a good group of people dancing with keira to the music ! I was doubled over and the video I took is so shaky from my laughing !!:hug:

When we eventually dragged keira away from her fan club :rotfl2: we headed towards the winnie the pooh meet area - she loved this !!!

We had Tigger bouncing for ages and he sat down and pretended to go to sleep Keira just shouted Up Tigger Bounce U cant get tired !! :lmao:

After persuading Keira it was time to get an ice cream we went into DinoLand!! The kids loved this part of the park and the queues today were non exsitent so they got to ride everything.
Wayne took the boys on Dinosaur - Dan bless him came out white!!
I really wanted to do Expedition Everest as this wasnt there last time we went - Oh my god this an awesome ride. Going backwards in the dark is so scary !!! Unless you are 8 and then you can get off and say "Is that it thought it was meant to be scary "
Cameron rode this 3 times and loved every second of it!!!
The last go on the ride his eye fell out because he was jostled about so much - luckily he caught it but now we were left with the task of discreetly putting it back in - all the stuff to do this was back at the car so we decided as the picnic was there too we would head back to the car sort Cam out and eat our picnic!!

We managed to go to plan :woohoo: and lucky for us noone returned to their car while we were wrestling with cameron in the back of ours :rotfl:

We then headed back to the park - I actually have to say that the rest in the car was far nicer than we expected and the kids ate much better than when we grabbed something in the parks!
As we got back to the turnstiles there was flik from bugs life waving at us - amazingly no q at all so we all ran over and a cm took the best pic of the hols;

We decided against doing the safari today as it is really bumpy and we feared another case of cams eye falling out !! Instead we went to watch Lion King - fantastic I enjoyed it just as much as 4 yrs ago even though this time we didnt get to join in !!
The characters were agin not very busy so we stopped to say hi -

The parade was fab and agin most of the walking characters were drawn to keira and we got loads of high fives and hand shakes !!

We found stitch on the way out which finally brightened camerons day - stitch was so naughty the kids were laughing hysterically. Keira challenged him to bounce like tigger so stitch climbed on to a step and jumped off keira was bouncing with excitement as he did so. ( Again photopass took pics as we all got involved!!)

We were amazed to find that it was 5pm and the park was shutting so after collecting our free pin for the day and the boys persuading me that pin trading was a good idea to start we left for the villa.

Day 7 Here
 
What a great day after a shaky start. :)
 
Again, your family didn't let an unexpected turn of events--this time a very real problem with Cameron's eye--deter the plan for having fun. Cameron gets extra points for bravery.

You know it's a true Disney family when Mother says the best photo of the holiday is the one with a giant blue bug standing in the middle of the group!
 
Sounds like a lot of shaking was going on :cool1:

Not the least bit surprise that your little princess aquired a fan club :goodvibes

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
You made me laugh so much x x x
 
sounds like a fab day. all credit goes to you for coping so well with Camerons sore eye :worship:sounds like your plot worked and he enjoyed himself :cutie:
 
What a great day. Hope your son's eye doesn't cause any further problems!!
 
I know you said in an older thread 'you are just a normal family' when you were strugglying to get to the hospital with Cameron. I have to say I have nothing but admiration for you all and how you cope and are able to make everything normal. You and yours are stars.:thumbsup2
 
Really enjoying your report and so impressed by the way you carried on despite the problems. I would love to have seen Keira dancing with others joining in - SO cute!! :)
 
What a wonderful day....except the incident with Camerons eye.

I can't wait to see your photopass pics. :goodvibes
 
After a couple of hic-cups it turned into a great day :thumbsup2.Love the pics.x.
 
Can really tell that you don't let anything spoil your family's enjoyment and have such a great attitude. Glad the weather has warmed up to as it makes it that little bit more special

Keira sounds like a hoot, i'm sure there are many more wonderful memories to come this trip which were initiated by her :goodvibes
 
It does you amazing justice that you can write in a thread about the ride being so shaky Camerons eye fell out. My mouth actually fell open when I was reading it, but not as much as when I read how well you all cope with such things. And well done to Cameron for catching it :thumbsup2
I can honestly say that it is the first time I have read that - on any forum.
Sounds like you are having a great time, and my productivity has gone down today whilst trying to catch up with your adventures.

:lmao: We have many funny stories of times when cam has lost his eye!! The best was ina ball pool and the look on the attendants face when i asked if i could go look for his eye was unforgettable!!!
I am a mom with a pot of eyes in my handbag just in case ~ again immigration looked a bit odd at me when i produce a pot of eyes !! :eek:
And at the very least I can genuinly say my trip report is totally unique !!:yay:
