Disney trip blog 8 - Ohana and Oh how much I've grown

Day 8 at Disney World was a relaxing one. We didn't go to any parks...just stayed and played at the hotel. Mommy, Grandma and Aunt Kati went to the Spa in the morning so Grandpa, Uncle John and I had "guys time". That night, we went to one of our favorite restaurants at Disney - Ohana, at the Polynesian resort.

Here I am with Mommy, waiting patiently for all the good food!



Aunt Kati says she loves how at Disney World they pay so much attention to detail. Even the ceiling in Ohana is decorated in Polynesian patterns!



Then Uncle John and I had our picture taken with the big giant head again, just so you could compare to the picture from last year and see how much bigger I am now!



After dinner, we went out to the "beach" at the resort. You can see Cinderella castle across the Seven Seas Lagoon from there!



Aunt Kati says you'll just have to trust us that it looks better in real life than it does in that picture. :)

Disney trip blog 7 - EPCOT

The day after Thanksgiving, we went to a park called EPCOT. There is a great big round thing there near the front. Some people call it the giant golf ball, but it's really called Spaceship Earth. Anyway, Mommy and I posed for a picture at it when we first arrived in the morning.



We went on a fun under the sea ride that had Nemo in it, and then we saw a show with his friend Crush the turtle.



Then Mommy and I crawled around the play area and went to see the big aquariums. I loved watching the dolphin swim by!





We went on one of Aunt Kati's favorite rides. It is called "Imagination" and has a purple dragon in it. His name is Figment.



I love jumping around in this area that plays music. It was really fun last year, so I had to do it again this year, too.



We ate lunch in the Coral Reef restaurant. The big aquariums are right in there, so it's almost like being under water!



My dessert was a "make your own" sundae. I put sprinkles on it...



...then, after adding M&Ms and chocolate syrup, I ate it. I also shared some with Mommy.



We went to see a concert with a HUGE choir singing Christmas songs. This is only slightly more than half of the choir!



The music was very relaxing, so I took a nice nap.



We also got family pictures taken with Minnie and Goofy.





It was another big fun day!

Disney trip blog 6 - Thanksgiving continued

After we ate breakfast at Chef Mickey's, we went back to Animal Kingdom to see the things we missed yesterday.

Goofy was there, too, so I got to see him again and give him a big hug.





Our first stop was at the Boneyard which is a really fun play area for kids. And mommies!



When we stepped on the footprints in this area, we heard dinosaur roars!



We went flying on some really cute dinosaurs.



Then we went for a ride on the train. I wore my engineer hat!



For Thanksgiving dinner, we went to Mickey's Backyard BBQ. There was lots of delicious food...including ice cream!



...and a band that played music for us to dance to.





Plus, I got to see all my friends again!

Christmas blog 6 - it's finally Christmas!

Santa stopped by last night while I was sleeping.

Here I am coming out of my bedroom to see what he left.



A great train table! It even has a big drawer to keep trains and other toys in, so they don't get lost.



I had to play with it right away!



Santa also left some presents for everyone else.



Mommy has a funny hat she wears every Christmas that she made when she was a little girl. It says "Elf Jocelyn", which means that she hands out the stockings and presents to everyone. I help her!



This year, I got a new stocking. It is really great and has my name on it! My Auntie Annie made it especially for me. Wasn't that nice of her?



Uncle John got a car for Christmas! Well, sort of. He used to have a car almost exactly like this little model one.



Mommy got some cute pajamas.



I got lots of other great presents. A backpack...



a cute Lightning McQueen car...



...a book (with me in the story!)



...a bear sleeping bag, and a Tinkerbell...



...and several other things, too!

Aunt Kati and Uncle John made delicious monkey bread.



We ate a yummy late breakfast. Then we all took naps!



That night, we had a big Christmas dinner, with ham, green beans (two of my favorites) and mashed potatoes.



It was a really good day. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, too!

Disney trip blog 5 - Thanksgiving

Our fifth day at Disney World was Thanksgiving! I don't know all the history of this holiday yet, but from what I can tell, it is a day when you eat a lot. So eat a lot we did!

We started out at Chef Mickey's for breakfast. I had a Mickey shaped waffle with blueberry sauce which was DELICIOUS.



And then my friends started visiting the table. First was Goofy - I was excited to see him!





Then Donald stopped by...



And Minnie...



And Pluto...



Of course my favorite is still Mickey!



We did some more fun things (and ate more great food) later in the day...but Aunt Kati says we have so many pictures that we are going to have to do a separate post about the rest of the day...so stay tuned!
