Disney World: Day 5

On our last full day, we woke up and rode the monorail to Chef Mickey’s!

The kids LOVED it!  They sure felt like royalty at Cinderella’s Royal Table, but here they were able to do more talking, interacting, and even goofing around with Mickey and his friends.  It was all just a little more laid-back and fun.

Donald came by first.

Then Mickey stopped by.

“Mickey Kissed Me!”

Then Pluto came and got really silly with the kids.  I love how excited Emily is to see him!

And, of course, Minnie.

And Goofy!

After breakfast, we let the kids each pick out one souvenir from the gift shop at the Contemporary.  We told them to keep their eyes open all week for what they might like to get on the last day.  Logan picked a monorail play set, and the girls each picked a two-in-one doll (skirt flips up and down to make two different dolls).  Audrey picked Anna/Elsa and Emily picked Aurora/Ariel.

Then we headed back to the pool and beach for some more swimming fun!

After swimming we were all pretty tired, so we all took a 1.5 hour nap in our room.  It felt great!  When we woke up, we decided to go explore some of the other resorts.  On our way out, they were offering hula lessons in the Polynesian lobby, so the girls and I learned how to hula!

Then we went to The Grand Floridian for a cookie.

We stopped at the Contemporary again to make some more pressed pennies (we have 22 from Disney stored in a pressed penny book).

And we rode the water ferry back to the Polynesian from the Magic Kingdom monorail stop.

It was another great day so far.  Only one more special evening meal, one more parade, and our trip home (involving high-level screening at the airport) left, all of which I’ll post about tomorrow!
