Finally moving along!!
It's Day 4! December 30th. We slept in (if you can call sleeping til 8 am sleeping in!!)
We spent the morning shopping and browsing and people watching at Downtown Disney!!
Everyone's healthy and hoping to stay that way!!
We went back to the hotel for a mid afternoon break and freshen up and then it was time to head back to Magic Kingdom for the evening!!
MK had EMH until 3 am!!!! So we figured we had time to revisit whatever Jamie missed when he had to leave the park on Day 2 since he was sick!!
The weather was finally nice. It went up to about 23 C this day and we could wear shorts and be comfortable.
So after our rest we headed back to MK for our ADR at Tony's Town Square. As soon as we entered the park, Jamie went off for fastpasses for Space mountain and was going to come back and meet up with us at Tony's. We then realized something was happening right at the front of the park and it was the flag lowering ceremony and the dapper dan's were singing so we decided to hang out and watch for a bit. We figured if we were a few minutes late for our ADR we'd be ok and Tony's was right there anway.
Castmates chose a little boy from the crowd to say the American Pledge and it was really nice to watch. I think these are the things that make Disney so special... when you just happen upon special events.
I didn't take any still photos of the ceremony since I videotaped it. But if you have a chance to watch it... it was a very nice ceremony.
So on to dinner at Tony's:
When we finished eating, the server brought out a nice complimentary
dessert for DH who was wearing his B-Day Badge!! (his birthday is Jan 1st)
so that badge was coming in handy!! The server brought him a card that was signed by a bunch of the staff as well!! A nice souviner to take home!
Hubby thought he could take his badge off now but Chloe and Jamie say "No Way" because we kept getting free desserts to share!!
When we finished dinner we headed out to the park!! Jamie had a mission to ride Splash Mountain so we split up and he went and did that! and we were going to meet up at Toon Town since hubby missed that when he took Jamie back to hotel sick 2 nights ago!
After Jamie rode Splash mountain he met up with us and we all went back and did Micky's Philharmagic (2nd time for me and Chloe, 1st time for Rene and Jamie)
I loved Philharmgagic, probably more the 2nd time than the first time! I think I could just keep sitting through that show!
Hanging out on Dumbo:
So when Jamie met up with us in Toon Town, we were just about going to enter the Judges Tent and Chloe got so excited when she saw that Micky and Minnie were there for photos!!
She ran up to the front and yelled "Mickey, I just want to meet Mickey"!!
The cast mate heard her and told her that there was a 45 minute wait to meet Micky and Minnie and Chloe was absolutely deflated and said she came to disney and all she wanted to do was meet Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse!!
The Castmate saw how Choe reacted and asked her why she didn't get their early to which Chloe replied " Well, my mom has this plan.........blah blah blah
to which the castmate responed " ok, come this way and dropped her rope and took us all in a back way and told us the wait would be 10 minutes!!!!
Is this what "they" call a little bit of pixie dust at Disney? !!
So we go in a back way and are about to see Mickey and Minnie and DH asks Chloe if she feels a little bit guilty that she has just skipped in front of all these little kids in line!!
Can you guess Chloe's answer? NO WAY!!! She's just a big happy kid!!!

So after meeting Mickey and Minnie Jamie is insisting that we all go back to do Splash Mountain!
I just didn't want to get wet!!!!
But we all walked over anyway to see what the stand by time was and it turned out not to be too long so they managed to push me into line and I figured I'll just see!! I can always leave through the chicken line!!

. Sorry to hear both your children got sick. I remember one trip I had gotten sick on the flight back home from disney. It totally sucked being sick on the plane
