Tuesday (Day 3) was spent at the Magic Kingdom. We started the day off with breakfast at the Beauty and the Beast Castle. Breakfast was really good, B was especially concerned who was going to eat the last muffins but gladly helped out when she was told she could.
After breakfast, we went on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. T was very excited to see all the animals, recounting them all afterwards. The kids especially liked the motorized parrot outside, in a cage - both discussing whether it was a real bird or a robot.
We then made our way to the main castle for a Mickey and Minnie friendship show, with Goofy, Donald, Daisy, Anna, Elsa, Olaf and Kristof. The kids really enjoyed the music and dancing.
Then, we went for a ride on the carousel before going to Splash Mountain (where T waffled about three times whether or not he wanted to go on the ride, he eventially decided "yes, he would"). After Splash Mountain, we made our way to Country Bear Jamboree which is clearly T's favourite attraction.

It was time for a snack of Dole Whip Floats for three adults and pretzels for the twinkies and AA. We finished up just in time to watch the end of a parade in front of the castle before trying to exit the park, only to be trapped by the parade again near the entrance/exit.
We went back to the hotel for a quick nap for T and B - it was going to be a long night with the Holiday Party going until midnight (not that any of us expected to make it that long).
We elected to let the kids sleep a little longer, so instead of taking the bus to Magic Kingdom, we took a Minnie Van operated by the Lyft app. Back at the park, we went for supper at Pecos Bill's Restaurant where everyone thoroughly enjoyed their Mexican food.
After supper, we went to take some pictures with Moana. The line was extremely long but the twinkies made new some new friends from Fort Wayne TX which made passing the time easier.
Then, we scoped out a good spot and waited for the Christmas parade. Everyone really enjoyed the parade, however T was a little bit upset with Chip who knocked Daddy's hat off ("that wasn't very funny" he said).
Once the parade was finished, we made our way across the park to go get some pictures with Santa Goofy. While waiting in line, AA and B went for a quick ride on Barnstormer which happens to be B's favourite ride.
We next made our way to the front of the castle to watch the Christmas firework show before going back for some more character photos, this time with Scrooge McDuck and Donald. B didn't make it to the end, but still got to partake in some pictures before we made our way back to the hotel and into our comfy beds.
Day 4 was a more relaxed start with breakfast at the Polynesian Resort with Lilo and Stitch. We tried to get another Minnie Van but there were none available so took a gamble with catching a bus. And the gamble paid off with our bus having to go to the Polynesian Resort after a drop off at Magic Kingdom which saved us about 20 mins and allowed us to make our reservation for 10:45.
Lola was very excited with breakfast because the chef gave her two boxes of gluten free cookies since she couldn't eat any waffles or cinnamon buns. This was the happiest we have seen Lola on the trip - with a box of cookies for each hand.

We took the tram back to Magic Kingdom and caught a bus back to the hotel for another nap.
The nap was unsuccessful but the kids had some downtime to recharge their batteries a little. Then, we made our way back to the Magic Kingdom for a ride on the Dwarf's Mine Train and pictures with Tinker Bell. We also were able to sneak in a short ride on the carousel and DD got to play a little bit of the Sorcerer's game he got cards for earlier in the trip. The kids really enjoyed playing the game too.

After pictures with Tinker Bell, we hustled to the Contemporary Resort (right beside Magic Kingdom) for supper at Chef Mickey's. The food was amazing and the character experience was also very good. AA even got a stern "look" from Donald when he wasn't waving his napkin like everyone else in the restaurant. He got the hint.

After supper, it was time to head back to the hotel for baths and bedtime. The adults got to spend some time playing some games and enjoying their adult beverages. Thinking about this now, MBMell didn't have any of her wine - she has a lot to drink of her two bottles in the next two nights.

We hope everyone is staying warm with the cold weather we see is at home. We can't complain about the +6*C it will feel like tomorrow morning when it is compared to a feels like -34*C...
Good night!
