The 19th of January started out great thanks to two little words: Tonga Toast! Oh my stars that stuff is addictive. I had it for 3 breakfasts in a row and was happy as a clam.

We decided to do MK again with DD. This time it was warmer - we actually got down to t-shirts in the afternoon. DD went on every ride that was open that she was able to - with the teacups once again a clear favorite. Everything was either walk right on or with a minimal wait. I got to ride Spash Mountain and DH got to go on BTRR.

We also managed to hit the Emporium again as well as the shops on the other side of Main Street. One of the CMs who checked us out was originally from Annapolis (our home) and we had a great time catching her up on local gossip.

We got back to Poly and once again went to the grill for lunch. Then it was back to the room for a nap for DD, DH and me.

That evening we had special plans. One of the families who adopted a little girl at the same time we did lives in Orlando and we were getting together for dinner at Ohana (very appropriate). The girls were a bit wary at first, then something clicked and it was like the last 15 months had never existed. They started playing and chattering and just having a great time in general. We got several great photos of them. Later, after dinner, Mary Anne (the mother of the other little Hubei girl) went to her car to get a t-shirt for our DD that reads "My parents went to Hubei Province and all they came back with was me." Her DH and DD and my DH, DD and I waited for her in the lower lobby. While waiting another father came up with his little daughter and asked what province our girls were from. When he heard Hubei, his eyes lit up and he announced that the munchkin on his shoulder was from Hubei as well, but not the same city as our kidlets unfortunately. He got his wife and we began exchanging war stories of Wuhan and Guangzhou.

We got back to our room in time for the Electrical Parade, which this time was not having sailing problems caused by a stiff wind like the previous night. DD really likes the dragon.
 
Our 2 dd's are adopted too!

Both of them are domestic!

It's great to be a forever family!

Hi fellow Annapolitan! I have really enjoyned your reports. Too bad it wasn't a little warmer for you guys. We were there for MVMCP in Dec and it was in the 50s and 60s. Chilly for FL but definitely warmer than MD in winter!
