Make a Wish - Day 3

 Well, thank you for all the thoughts and prayers!  Mason slept GREAT last night from 10 pm - 8 am this morning.  JJ too.  Mommy and Daddy too!  You can tell from the pictures below that they were both well rested and ready for Day 3!

After getting breakfast, we took JJ to ride a horse in Keaton's Korral!  Mason got to pet the horses. :)

This earned them both their own cowboy hats! (How are we getting all these things home?!)

After riding horses, we requested the Ozone cleaner for the villa and packed up to head to Animal Kingdom.

Right away at Animal Kingdom we met Pocahontas!

Then Santa Goofy!

Mason loved the birds and the gorillas.  They both loved the Finding Nemo musical, a 30 minute show of the story equipped with amazing constumes and bubbles and fun songs!

(Yes, Mason's face still looked like this all day - he's very impatient waiting for shows.)

We walked around Animal Kingdom for awhile but its hard to see the animals and there were not many rides that Mason could do.  We took a picture by the tree of life and then decided to head to a new park!

On the way out, we hear from many workers that Magic Kingdom is just about at capacity.  As much as we wanted to spend New Year's there, I don't want to be herded like cattle all night.  The Genie Pass (the pass that gets us to the front of the line) is amazing, but its not worth the frustrations in between.  We decided to head to Hollywood Studios instead.

Right away at Hollywood Studios, JJ met Princess Sofia and Doc McStuffins!

After these meet and greets, we went on a Toy Story ride.  It was a ride where you ride in a buggy with 3D glasses and get to shoot at video games with 3D technology.  It goes to about 6 games and even gives you a score at the end!  It was very fun!!

We walked around Hollywood Studios a bit and JJ got her face painted like tinkerbell!

Mason had been feeling ill all day again.  We think its a combination of his cold still lingering and anxiety with so many people.  Right when JJ's face was done getting painted, the park started handing out New Year's hats and noisemakers.  Chris and I both think the same thing - we've got to get out of here - Mason is going to HATE. THIS.  We managed to get one more meet-n-greet wit Olaf and then get to one more show, a Muppets 3D show,.   Then we headed back to the car.


We got home about 6:00 after some stops and Walmart and Publix (yay for shrimp!) and now Mason and I are chilling in the villa.  Mason is finally comfortable again, has a little cough, but I'm trying to play catch up with the pediasure.  He hardly ate today. :(  He also had his first BM of the trip so hopefully that helps him feel better too.

JJ and Chris went to see Moana in the theatre they have here in the resort.  I'm sure she's loving it!

Looking forward to getting to bed at a decent time again tonight and getting an early start so we can head to Magic Kingdom before it gets too hot.  The plan is to get there earlier (8 am-ish) then head back to the villa from 12-3 and take the kids swimming when its in the 80's. We'll head back to Magic Kingdom for the evening when it starts to cool a bit.  Today's weather was really perfect - mid 70s - so we'll see how Mason handles the 80's.

Thank you for following along and please pray for healing and another restful night!

(and dad - we'll get inside pictures of the villa when I have a chance to clean it up a bit - its a disaster!)  (I should have downloaded the walk-through I posted to snap chat.  Oh well.)
