Disney Day 3

Today started with the most awesome breakfast - at Chef Mickey's!

Not only were the buffet and Mickey Waffles delicious...

but the company was even better!

That's right, we had breakfast with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto!

The characters were so great.  The boys kept telling them how much they loved them, and the characters returned the love with big hearts and lots of kisses.

After breakfast was over, we boarded the monorail to the Magic Kindgdom

Our first stop was TomorrowLand, where the entire gang rode the Astro Orbiter.  While you can't see him in this picture, Sully rode in the front of the rocketship with me and Finnegan.  We raised our rocket as high as it could go and spun around with the planets.  Sully called out the names of the planets as we passed by (and got them all correct).  We were told afterwards that we were at the highest point of any ride in the Magic Kingdom, how cool!

Next, per Sully's request, we went back to the Buzz Lightyear Astro Spin - 

he loves this ride!

When we left the ride - there he was, Buzz Lightyear!!  Sully asked Buzz how old he was, Buzz showed him ten fingers, and Sully was impressed.  Next, Sully pressed Buzz's big red button, and Buzz "turned off".  After Sully was done laughing, he turned Buzz back on again.  The boys all loved meeting him, but Sullivan did not want to say goodbye.  We had to pry him away.

 We took another spin on the People Mover, and then Nance, the boys and I did a little shopping while the girls went on Space Mountain with Mike and Gill.

After, Gill and I took the boys back to Fantasyland for another flight with Dumbo.  We were able to cool down and play in the Big Top before waiting for our flight.

 

We took another spin on the carousal,

before meeting up with the Rodgers for the Parade. 

 We got the parade to ourselves when the sky opened up mid-parade. 

 I was armed with Ponchos for everyone...

 

even Sully and his monsters!

 After the parade, we went back to the house to rest for a few hours.  

Then, we headed back to Main Street for the Electric Parade and Fireworks.

Armed with Mickey Ice Creams and light up toys, we claimed our spots right on the street

 and watched the magical parade!

When the parade was over, we walked towards the castle to enjoy the fireworks.

They were beyond amazing and we all loved them.  Patrick and Finnegan watched the sky light up with their ears covered.  I held Sully for the whole show,  he cheered for the fireworks and wanted more when it was over.

On the way back to the car, everyone was exhausted, especially Sully - 

but the magic was well worth it!
