Off we went to MK!
First stop, Jambo House!
I must say, I felt bad for the Jambo House guests all week. In most cases half of them had to stand on the bus to the parks. I mean we gave up seat where needed and put kiddos on laps to free up more. But still, there were people standing after Jambo House almost every time!
We got to MK with lots of excitement in the air! We crossed under the railroad station and stepped out onto main street!
This was a momentous occasion! Justin, Jessica and Julianna were at WDW for the very first time! They Ohhhd and Ahhhd and Wowd! I saw tears fill their eyes and watched them skip down Main Street!!
Amazing! That was what I was going for with trip!
There was another dose of Disney Magic because it was still Christmas!!! WOW! January 9th and it was still Christmas! Last year our trip was Jan 3rd 12th and the decorations were down mid-week!
I like to think they left the decorations up so my other kiddos could see Christmas at WDW
We strolled up Main Street stopping for a few more pictures along the way
Silly photopass CM!
We were starving so we headed for Cosmic Rays figuring they had a variety of stuff and we could sit inside to get out of the freezing cold!
Yeah, us and 5,000 other MK guests that day!
The seating area in CR was PACKED!!! It was after 1 by then and I had hoped we would have missed the lunch crowd. But, a lot of people were sitting have hot beverages and nothing else!
DH, BIL and some of the kids waited for tables to free up while me, Dsis, and Jessica went to get lunch!
It was then that it became apparent to me that wed be getting our monies worth on
DDP! Lunch for 10, all chicken sandwiches, fries and soda for the grownups, adult chicken nuggets for the teens and chicken nugget meals for the kiddos, cost
.
$145!!!
Thank you CM who came up with the DDP idea! Otherwise we would have been eating out of the trash can by the end of the week!
While we were in Cosmic Rays we picked up a friend!
A friend of my BILs friends was in the area with his girlfriend visiting family! They came to MK to visit! They hadn't seen each other in several years and it was very nice to meet him! Bob and his girlfriend spent a lot of the afternoon with us and they were super nice and had a great time!
After Cosmic Rays it was off to ride some rides finally!!
The family decided Buzz Lightyear should be first! So, we were off in that direction! We walked on and soon saved the Galaxy from Zurg! Yea us!
Then we headed back toward Fantasyland!
Tea Cups here we come! DH, Ryan and Dsis Jen sat this one out and the rest of us took a spin!
BIL, Justin, Bob and his girlfriend spinning!
The girls spinning!
DS7 while him and I spin!
We skipped Pooh because the wait was posted as 30 minutes, not sure how true that was in hind sight.
So we headed to Dumbo!!
Dsis and DH sat this one out, while the rest of us waited maybe 5 minutes and were soon soaring high above Fantasyland!!!
A few pics while we waited...
Then it was off to IASW!
Along the way...
Not sure why I turned around
On the ride...

I think she may have learned a little over the week! 
And I know what happened to you on the Haunted Mansion... happens to me all the time... you get so caught up in what you're feeling and experiencing that you forget all about photography duties!
