Magic Kingdom
I will never forget this day. It was one of my favorite days ever. Because I knew Michael and Travis would love Epcot most of all we decided that they would go there in the morning and mom and I would go back to Magic Kingdom. We had reservations to eat at Cinderella's Royal Table at 4:00 with just Juel. So they could go explore the "adult" fun of Epcot, while we enjoyed more of my favorite place. I have no idea all of what they did. I just know I received several pictures from various countries and from outer space! The rest of us enjoyed the "Wishes" show on the front of the castle. Next we went to explore Frontierland, rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and saw the gool old' Country Bear Jamboree. Then we rode the Walt Disney World Railroad a few times for a good rest. We watched the riverboat and took our time strolling around Liberty Square. Soon it was time to meet the boys so that the girls could head to the castle. It. Was. Amazing! Truly it was one of my favorite moments ever! It will get it's own post (see The Magical Castle). Meanwhile Michael and Travis took Tyson to ride the Buzz Lightyear ride and Splash Mountain...super fun. After our fairy tale meal, we visited Belle's Castle, where Juel participated in a little surprise party show for her! Next we went over to Adventure Land to thrill Tyson on the Pirates of the Carribean ride, which we had all to ourselve, and to take a Jungle Cruise. We then found a place to watch the light parade, but it was delayed. At this point mom and I took the kids to the front of the castle. Michael and Travis went to the train station to pick up a stroller and to watch the fireworks from a less crowded place. However, "magic alert" this Disney worker came over to mom and I and asked if we would like to watch the show in a magical place. He escorted us to a roped off area right in front of the castle with benches to sit on. Along with just a few other families we sat there for the parade and fireworks. At this point mom and I were nearly delerious with magic! We could reach out and touch the parade. Many of the characters came over to interact with the children and the float riders would all blow kisses and wave right at them. It was just unreal! Next we watched the beautiful fireworks, which were patriotic for the Celebrate America week. Our night ended with watching Illuminations on the castle. What a fantastic day!!!!!
A Royal Breakfast!!
Most perfect shirt ever...purchased along with Travis' "I'm Grumpy, Don't Make it Worse" shirt!
Mom made this little Cinderella shirt for Juel and the bow was thanks to Morgan (in fact all of her bows for the week were from Morgs)...LOVE
At the castle for the "Wishes" show.
Someone was very impressed...and wanted to join the dancing!
Others...perhaps not so impressed! (My sweet boy actually was not feeling well this day.)

Performing as "silverware"
We sported the ponchos every single day!
Juel was so cute in her little dress and poncho. For part of time she had the hood on and looked just like a fairy Godmother carrying around her "magic"
