I love the kids Flying in the pizza planet photo! So cute!!! What a fun day you all had. I hope Peepa's illness didn't last too long...and hopefully it stayed confined to one.

My kids surely aren't shy! It was a very good day!

You got lots of great hat photos on this trip!

I'm sorry to hear about all the sickies on this trip. Just wish all viruses vanished as you enter Disney property!

I love the Streetmosphere at DHS! Always a good time! So wonderful that both Michael and Elsa got into the act!

Oh no your final day already!

 

[littlezar]

Great pics at HS! Love the interaction with the streetmosphere characters! That’s awesome that you’re teaching Michael all the “gentleman” rules.

Boo for Peepa not feeling well and Meema’s foot bothering her but YAHOO for Meema being able to see the Muppets!!

ROFL that Peepa forgot riding TSMM!! Totally love that ride (and bought the game for the Wii as soon as it came out!)

Was the princess hat pic Michael’s punishment for beating all of you at TSMM?!?!

Cute Singing in the Rain pics!

Hope Peepa is feeling better for your last day!

Elsa cracks me up ~ totally NOT camera shy!

I love and hate last days. I wish it never had to end! Some people get bored with Disney, I don't think I ever would.

If I punished Michael every time he beat us at a video game he would be grounded forever!

Elsa just goes for it in life. Nothing will be able to hold her back!

Kingdom, Here We Come!​

Our final park day has come. This was by far our longest Disney trip, and I don't think I was prepared for how tired we would be! But no matter how tired we were, we were going to soak up every moment at the Kingdom that we could! We woke up at 8am and didn't have a text yet from Meema and Peepa letting us know how Peepa was feeling. We were really hoping he could pull it together and join us. It's no fun knowing someone is sick in the hotel while we are Disney-ing it up!

We hurried down to breakfast at 8:30 so we could be ready at 9am to meet up with whoever was feeling up to a park day!

We ate a good breakfast and were delighted to see both Meema and Peepa heading towards us!! We all boarded the bus to the Magic Kingdom. It was obvious that Peepa wasn't 100%, but he was here and that made us all happy! If you have read any of my other TR's you know which ride we did first. It's all about the Carousel of Progress!

Elsa, Michael and Meema decided to tackle Space Mountain while Peepa and I rode the Peoplemover. I really miss riding Space Mountain but we enjoyed the ride and were surprised when we rode through and found the lights on in Space Mountain:

Because the ride was down we figured the others were still waiting to ride it so Peepa and I took another round on the Peoplemover. Turns out they were waiting in the gift shop the whole time. Ooops. We Buzz Lightyear'd and then Laugh Floored! I was starting to feel a little off, so I sat out while everyone else took two rounds on the race cars. It wasn't wasted time, though. I bought some locking pin backs and secured everyones favorites onto their lanyards.

We stopped for an early lunch. Meema had a hankering for BBQ and mentioned it about every meal, so she was super happy that Ray's Starlight Cafe had the coveted BBQ! We called the boys before we ate, and it was so cute to see Michael and Elsa talk to them:

I wish I could shout it from the rooftops how much I love free dining!!!! Not having to worry about budgeting for all the meals, getting our free snacks, not making Michael and Elsa share a meal. Ha! This was Meema and Peepa's first time on the dining plan and they gave it two big thumbs up! The free dining spoils you. Who would ever want to travel again and actually have to pay for their food?!!

Off to Fantasyland where we rode Winnie The Pooh. As we exited we ran into The Fantasyland Saxaphone Quartet! In all of my travels to Disney I've never seen them before. We really enjoyed them!!

After they played a few songs we chatted with them. They were a very nice group of guys. I hope we see them again!

On the Snow White ride:

3-D glasses photo op at Mickey's Philharmagic:

...Peepa must be feeling better. Hahahahahaha...​

When we exited the show, Michael wanted one last try at the sword. Both kids know this is our last trip for the foreseeable future. Michael always pulls on that sword like his life depends on it. I said a little prayer when we walked over. I was really hoping he would pull out the sword.

...and then it happened...

Elsa couldn't believe her luck, and Michael couldn't believe his non-luck. Riding the wave of excitement we moved on to ride Peter Pan, it's a small world, and Haunted Mansion.

Up Next: Our Last Day, MK Style!

 

[reelmom]

That's awesome that Elsa pulled the sword out. We have never had that luck.

 

[MagicShell]

Congratulations! You now have 4 beautiful children, and working on 5. You truly have a huge heart. Those little boys are so lucky.

I just caught up on your trip report and it sounds like you all had a great time. Too bad your dad didn't feel well for part of the trip.

Free dining IS great! Can't wait to hear about your last day.
