Monday started out with beautiful weather! We made our way to the Polynesian dock for the boat ride to the Magic Kingdom!
Doesn't everyone look bright-eyed and bushy tailed!
Sara really enjoyed the short ride to the Magic Kingdom. Once we got there, we hopped on the train and rode around the park until we got off at the Mickey's Toon Town Fair stop.
The girls loved playing in the playground across from Mickey's house.
But I think they had the most fun at Donald's boat.
We took the girls socks and shoes off and let them run wild in this area. The boat was surrounded by some squishy ground covering with water gurgling out of the "lily pads."
I think Grandaddy and Sara teamed up to squirt Emma by strategically placing their fingers in the hole the water was coming out of. Fluid dynamics training starts early you know!
Yes, the girls were soaked when it was all said and done but it was worth it. Grana and I took them to the bathroom and changed them into some dry clothes.
Then we took a picture by the Toon Town sign before we left to explore another area...the cream cheese filled pretzel snack zone! Yum!
After our pretzels and frozen Cokes (my favorite!) we rode the People Mover and then made our way back to the Polynesian for nap time. We stayed longer than expected at the resort since a nice rain shower seemed to be sitting on top of us for several hours.
After a while, we decided to be adventurous and travel to EPCOT to enjoy the Food and Wine Festival one more time...raining or not. We put the girls in their rain shoes and put some ponchos over their heads and strollers and enjoyed the evening. Sara wasn't thrilled with this set-up until some french fries showed up a little later.
Emma kinda liked it and even wanted her poncho on after it stopped raining. We ate a little more and ended our day with a showing of IllumiNations (a spectacular fireworks, laser and pyrotechnics show in the lagoon).
We boarded the monorail for our last trip back to the Polynesian. Sara snagged her Daddy's hat (the blanket and pacifier are hers) and enjoyed the ride!We'll miss you, Mickey!

Ha ha! :) Love the creativeness in the ponchos and strollers!! Sounds like all of you had a wonderful time. We've never been to Disney World and if we ever do get the chance to go, I have some great ideas (from your blogging!) for our family. Thanks for sharing!!
WHAT AN EXCITING WAY TO VACATION. THE GIRLS WILL HAVE WONDERFUL MEMORIES AS WELL AS THE ADULTS! THE EXPRESSIONS ON THE LITTLE GIRLS FACES ARE PRICELESS. LOVE-MAMA
