Last day at Disney - The Magic Kingdom

We had reservations to have breakfast with Pooh and friends at the Crystal Palace buffet first thing. We got there around 8:00 and got right in. Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger & Piglet were all there. The buffet had an amazing assortment of foods including Mickey Mouse waffles, unfortunately I think the boys were all too excited to eat much. They were very smart and had plastic as well as glass plates. Unfortunately when they brought each of the boys a cupcake for their birthdays, they brought them on glass plates. Owen was very excited, grabbed his plate and threw it on the floor where it broke. Never boring anywhere we go. We loved getting to meet each of the characters & getting pictures and autographs with them. Alex had on his Tigger t-shirt and informed Tigger that he was his favorite! Then it was off to see more of the magic kingdom. First stop - Pirates of the Caribbean! The boys LOVED it - ha! That was where they decided they wanted to spend their birthday money. They each got a gun and a hook. Avery also got a Jake & the Never Land Pirates shirt (they only had his size) and Alex got a pirate shirt that stated "The beatings will stop when the morale improves". Upon leaving the store we realized we had missed seeing Captain Jack Sparrow's performance. So we noted the time of his next show and went on the cruise. We collected some more pennies and went to wait to see and hopefully meet Captain Jack Sparrow. During his performance Evan and Avery both got pulled up on stage to learn to be pirates. Captain Jack Sparrow said he thought he might be in trouble when he chose Avery - but he selected him anyways - ha! We got video of all of this. Next stop was to see the Country Bear Jamboree. Then Evan and I (Alex waited with Avery & Owen - Avery was asleep) went through the Swiss Family Robinson tree house (both of these last two things are things I remember doing with my family when I was little). Then the three boys and I went to fly on Aladdin's Carpet (Avery had woken up and pee'd on me - the joys of Motherhood - ha!). So then we asked Evan what he would like to do again and he wanted his brothers to see the Haunted Mansion since they had missed it the day before so we all rode it this time. Then we went to get seats to watch Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade. We wanted to get on the road to see Miss Ellen and meet Scott & baby Victoria so we gave Evan another option for one last ride. He selected Buzz Lightyear again. So we went and rode Buzz's ride, the got some more lollypops for Avery doing well with potty training then rode the ferry to get to the car. We had realized that Mr. Potato head was a different size from the one we had so we wanted to get another one and we needed to get some arms that would hold all of the Disney items so back to Downtown Disney. The boys were asleep so I stayed in the van with them while Alex went in search of Mr. Potato Head. The boys still had some b-day money and Evan had wanted a hat and we had promised him one so when Alex returned I went into one of the stores and quickly looked. I decided they needed hats to go with their guns & hooks and got them hats just like Captain Jack Sparrow had. Then it was farewell to Disney and off to south Florida to North Palm Beach to see Ellen and family!
