Make a Wish - Day 4

So last night, we forgot to give Mason his usual round of Tylenol so he was a little restless.  At 3:00 am, I gave him some and he slept hard for the rest of the night.  Chris and I are taking turns on "Mason-duty" by sleeping with him in the King bed and the other sleeps in the other twin with JJ in her room.  Not exactly the way we prefer it, but it makes our life easier. ;)

We set our alarms for 7:00 am so we could get up and start getting ready before the kids woke up.  Each day we have a hard time getting our things together and getting out of here early enough!  Today, we got to Magic Kingdom right when they opened!  Mason was having a fairly decent morning (still puking - but not as often) and we've got our method down.  He wears a bib 100% of the time, with a towel across his tray.  If he has issues, Chris and I have our method down like we're racing to change a tire - don't make a scene, wipe it up, throw it in a bag, replace the bib and towel.  Our biggest concern is that he's losing weight because he has not been eating great. If its still an issue when we go home, we'll take him in to the Dr. and get a handle on this.

When we got to Magic Kingdom, we were able to jump right to the front of the line and meet Minnie!

Then we had our picture taken in front of the castle!  Some of our memory pass pictures are not appearing (any Disney veterans know what is going wrong?)  Here's my cell phone version:

We then walked through the castle and JJ and I rode the merry-go-round.

Then JJ met Rapunzel and Tiana!

After we caught back up with Daddy and Mason, we decided to ride Peter Pan's Flight (awesome - both kids loved it) and then It's a Small World (I know Buck, your favorite.)  We thought there was a 12:00 parade, so we wanted to make sure to get one more ride in and then make our way to the parade.  We went to "Under the Sea" and afterwards found out they don't have a 12:00 parade!  We rode the train back up to Main Street and decided to visit Mickey Mouse and Tinkerbell!

They had 12:30 street-dancing, and the characters really got JJ and Mason into it! I posted videos on snapchat, but they are too big to post to the blog. :(  I'll try to post at least one to facebook for those not on snapchat.

After street dancing was a 1:00 show on the castle stage with Olaf, Elsa, Anna, Tiana, Rapunzel & Flynn!  It was very fun and JJ's favorite part of the day.

It was getting really warm and Mason was getting uncomfortable, so we decided to take the ferry back to the car (MUCH better than the tram on a warm day!). 

When we got back home we ordered in a late lunch while Mason got one of his first decent meals in for the day. Then it was time to go swimming!!

The pool here is great. It's nice and warm, and gets deeper very gradually.  They have PVC wheelchairs to transfer into so Mason can move around the pool too.  He loved the pool, but was getting very tired.  We went back to the villa, cleaned up, and then ventured out back in the resort.

We went on a ride they have here where you can control going up and down and Mason's wheelchair could roll right onto it - I wish I would have taken more than a selfie on it. :)

They also have a train called JJ Express!!!  We (obviously) took a train ride.

 

 

We then went for more ice cream and soda, and headed back to the villa!  Dad, just for you, I've uploaded villa pictures today! (after spending 20 minutes cleaning up the disasters we'd created.)

The other side of the living room. The entrance to the villa is just to the right of this photo.

Imagine I'm standing in front of the tv from the previous picture.  I'm looking at the dining room table.  JJ is on the floor playing her with ballerina book :)

The hallway.  Double doors on left is washer/dryer, door on right is parent's bedroom.  Left door is parent's bathroom.  Door at the end goes into the kid's bedroom and bathroom.

I made my 10th run to Walmart, this time for more Kleenex, bags and detergent. Chris picked up Red Lobster to go for dinner, which was really good.  Now we're kicked back watching the Packer game and getting the kids ready for bed.

Tomorrow's plan is a meet-n-greet here at the resort with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and either Belle or Mary Poppins.  Then breakfast, then heading to Epcot!  We'll do Epcot for a few hours, take a break and then finish the day at Magic Kingdom.  Hopefully there is a nice breeze because the 83* today was toasty and the same is expected for tomorrow.

GO PACK!
