Made it back to Pop with time to spare. All three of us showered, cleaned up, and in our matching Hawaiian Disney dresses that I had bought for just this meal.
In preface for my next part. The girls liked to go out and stand on the balcony in front of our room. They would pull the metal security lock forward so the door wouldn't completely shut.
I was in the restroom when I hear:
Angelina: "Mommy"
Me: "What Angelina?"
Angelina: "I need you."
Me: "Can you gimme a second?"
Angelina: "My toe is BLEEDING!"
Race out to see that there is blood COVERING her foot! I run to get a wet washcloth so that I can see where she's cut and how bad it is. Whenever Gabriella gets very scared she puts her fingers in her ears (that's how you know she's REALLY scared/uncertain about the situation). Angelina is screaming and crying, Gabriella puts her fingers in her ears and runs out of the room.....of course at this point, the lock is no longer holding the door open and it closes behind her locking her out.
I gave Angelina the washcloth so she could work on her toe (WHERE IS YOUR DADDY WHO DEALS WITH BLOOD?????) and am trying to calm her while Gabriella is knocking on the door to be let back in. Calm Angelina, let G back in the room.
Apparently, in all of the in and out she caught her toe on the corner of the door and drug it across her toe. It caught on her big toe, right at the top near her nail and ripped a big piece back. At least she still had her nail!!!!
Thankfully I packed a whole new box of bandaids with us. Give Angelina an Ibuprofin because, we all know that's gotta hurt, and wrap the toe up. Now it's time to leave for the Poly to go to dinner. First we needed to stop and get yet another pair of
crocs. She only had Old Navy flip-flops (which are thin and worthless when it comes to walking far distances) or tennis shoes (YIKES, not shoving her toe in those) or sandals that she was going to wear with her dress.
Luckily I found a pair of the Mary-Jane Crocs on clearance ($18 YEAH!) at Everything Pop! Decided we needed to cover the toe so in case she bumped it it would have a bit of insullation to it.
We walked outside where they drop the Mears bus people off and ask the CMs working there if the girls could sit while I go and get the van. After I explained what happened (and explained while I have a hobbling daughter) they were more than o.k. with that and even went and got Angelina a wheel chair to sit in.
Got the van, got everyone in and off we go to the Poly. Vallet parked again tonight because it was EMH's at the MK. Figured we'd eat and hop on the monorail to the park.
Get checked in at the Poly. The lobby was PACKED but they said they were pretty much on time for reservations. Few minutes later our buzzer goes off and we're seated at the table.
Dinner was served:
Dumplings:
Wings:
Then the sauces for the meat:
Then they started bringing on skewers, turkey&pork, steak and shrimp:
Angelina was really diggin' the shrimp:
Gabriella wore out the dumplings and steak! I think she had 3 plates of dumplings that she ate. EVERYTHING was DELISH!!!
Time for the coconut races and the limbo stick to come out. I had attempted to get pictures. It was extremely chaotic and I wasn't able to get any very good ones. Here are just a sampling of what I ended up with:
Notice the new shoes....
After taking those, I snapped a few around the grill and restaurant:
After all of the activities for the kids were finished we waited patiently for our dessert:
Dessert for the adults:
And the children:
Sinfully full - it was time to leave. I wanted to take a picture of the girls in front of the waterfall downstairs. We took the elevator down only to find a PP photographer already set up (tripod, lighting setup, etc.) right in front of the fountain. I asked the photographer if he would take a picture of us with my camera. Of course he said he would. Once he saw that my camera made his feel like an old 110 camera, he disconnected his and connected mine to the tripod and lighting system. I was floored that he went through all of this trouble. Here is one of pics he took:
Photo op all wrapped up it was time to head to the MK for Wishes.
Up next......can I get a few good pictures of Wishes and EMHs that keep us out beyond the pumpkin hour.
I always felt they were alive since they seemed to move on their own

$300 is obviously a drop in the bucket when talking about a $2,000 lens, but it was $300 more than I could convince DH to allow me to spend. There's always next year!!
