To keep me excited for our upcoming trip, I read Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson.

I loved it. It was really cute and I just loved how Disney had a part in EVERYTHING. Plus, it must be pretty cool to be a hologram and roam around Disney World
The first book is set mainly in Magic Kingdom and on VMK (the ex-virtual online game)

I also read Kingdom Keepers II Disney at Dawn

I loved it more then the first
It was mainly set in Animal Kingdom

Now, I can't wait for the third to come out
Kingdom Keepers III Disney in Shadow

(Which, if you can't tell by the cover, is mainly [supposed] to be set in EPCOT)

The books are all cute and are 10 times better because of the fact of being set in Disney

 

[disneylovin24]

Those books look intresting, I always wanted to see a movie staaged in disney with someone running around after the parks closed or an adventure movie in disney

Day 1 of Poly Vacation
'Ohana

Our 'Ohana Story...
We checked in at the desk about 10 minutes early. We waited about 15 minutes to get in. So my parents shared a drink= Captain's Mai Tai

My mom and I shared a seat since the waiting area was FILLED with people... waiting!

Eventually some people left and we all got our own seats. That's when I decided to take a picture of my MAGICAL pin!

I love that pin! I wore it all the time, even though I really wasnt celebrating anything big... I said I was celebrating my... 7th visit to WDW (which to some of you reading probably sounds like 2 times :] )

So we were seated- finally, but it was well worth the wait- let me tell you!
Our 'cousin' was awesome- really nice! We sat towards the back, by a window.

We got our bread- yum!!!! My mom told us we could only have one peice, she wanted us to eat our dinner... Dont worry mom, we did!

Next came the salad- YUMMM! The dressing was to die for! Best Salad EVER!

Next our 'cousin' brought us dumplings and chicken wings.

The dumplings were good, not amazing, but good

The chicken wings were great! Very very good!

Our 'cousin' also brought us dipping sauces, they were all okay.

Next we were brought noodles and brocoli

The noodles were okay, nothing special

I dont really like brocoli, but I tried some, it was 'eh'.

Next came the meat (I didnt take very good pictures of the meat... but there was three kinds: pork, steak, and turkey. Plus the shrimp!

The pork was good, the steak was AWESOME, the turkey was also good, and the shrimp was AMAZING!

During the dinner they had a lot of interaction with kids. Joel participated a lot.
Here's him

While we were at WDW my parents were celebrating their anniversery. So the guy who was incharge of all the activities said all people who were celebrating an anniversery, wedding, honeymoon, or other romantical event. So my parents went up and danced or whatever they were supposed to do... we kids werent really paying attention... because I came up with the idea to stuff our mouths with that yummy bread we werent supposed to be eating! When my mom looked over at us Jonathan held up his huge chunck of bread, waved it and smiled. Are we not the perfect children? Haha!

Back to our dinner... our 'cousin' brought us our banana desert! Yummy!

And vanilla icecream with mickey sprinkles

They were both delicious! I loved the banana sauce, it was heaven!
