Day 7: Shopping and Swimming!

 On Friday, we spent our last day in beautiful Orlando.

 We woke up and had breakfast at the hotel. Then we walked to Downtown Disney and played around.

 
Ana, Elsa and Olaf. (Or, tia, mommy and Maddie)

Just Olaf.

Sydney walked right up to Aurora and smiled.

And Cinderella.


 

Maddie threw our coins in and made a wish.


We let her do a train ride.

Sydney was going to ride it but, she passed out on the way to the train.

We headed back to the hotel. 

Maddie always liked coming back because our mousekeeper would put her baby in funny spots.
Doing a sticker book, wearing Maddie's ears.

The girls had lunch...

Then little Sydney continued her nap and we went swimming! Our resort had several pools but we liked this one the best since it had a kids portion.

And a big slide!!





I was very excited for our restaurant reservation Friday night. We went to 'Ohana which is pretty hard to get in to. You get plates and plates of yummy food and there's a part where the kids get to get up and dance.

It would have been nice, except one member of our dinner party, the smallest member, was not enjoying herself. She was all over the place and refused to sit in her high chair. We had to take her out several times. On one trip out, I snagged this pic with our Memory Maker. Doesn't she just look like she's mad about it all? HAHA. Suffice it to say, our last dinner was a little....hectic and chaotic. But, still yummy! Love 'Ohana!

We had some free tickets to Disney Quest so mom put Sydney to bed and my dad, sister, Chris and I took Maddie out for a special "stay up way too late" night. She had a great time. It's a huge arcade with games and rides.

 Very serious on the race track. I did not LET her win, and yet, she still beat me. She came in fourth and almost beat grandpa!

Maddie is cracking tia up in this pic. It was late (late for Mads) and Maddie was in rare form. So hyper and very very silly.

We finally called it quits and headed back to our hotel to get some sleep before our early pick-up time. What a great last day!

Day 6: EPCOT

On Thursday, we headed to Epcot. This is more of an adult park, but I really wanted to take the girls to the princess  breakfast. And, of course, my biggest princess, LOVED it.

Mommy's Favorite: Test Track
Daddy's Favorite: Empty Epcot
Maddie's Favorite: Princess breakfast (and Finding Nemo ride)
Sydney's Favorite: The Living Seas Aquarium

Rapunzel and I 

Since we had breakfast reservations we were able to get in the park before it opened. This made Christopher's week. He loved taking pics with very few people!

Practicing her curtsy.

Posing Syd.


This is classic Sydney. Looking like she's plotting her next mischievous move.



We met Belle before we sat down. And Sydney actually sat in her lap!




Unfortunately, we sat right by a window. It made for some terrible lighting in these pictures. 



After the princesses came by to visit, they did a "little princess" processional where Maddie and the other little girls paraded through the restaurant. She LOVED this place and routinely told people "breakfast with the princesses" was one of her favorite things about Disney. (She also said the roller coaster, Little Mermaid and a few others….)

It was a beautiful day!

The girls loved the aquarium.




I don't have any pictures but Maddie rode Finding Nemo 3 times while we were in this area.

After several rides and running around, Sydney BIT THE DUST.
Girlfriend was whooped.

We sat down for lunch while she napped.

Daddy and Mads.

Enjoying her last park day in Disney!
