Friday Feb 26, 2010 - Last Day OHANA Breakfast and The Magic Kingdom

It is always bitter sweet to wake up on the last day at Disney World. Part of me is tired from the busyness of the week and in need of a rest, but most of me is sad, because we know we won't be seeing the Chappell family for a long time afterward. It is always so great seeing them and spending the week together, but it is very sad to leave them at the end of the week. We had a special breakfast planned for our last morning together, at the OHANA Character Breakast at the Polynesian.

Of course, OHANA means FAMILY in the Hawaian culture, so this is where our family chose to go. When we first arrived, they gathered us together for a family photo. Today was also the day that we chose to wear our Nemo 2010 Disney Trip T-shirts. Didn't they look fantastic!!

I'm sure you can also guess that Lilo and Stitch were the hosts of the breakfast along with Mickey and Pluto. This was a really good breakfast, one of my favorits actually. The characters were fantastastic!!! Pluto fell right down on the the ground with them and let them all jump on him, it was so great, they all loved it.


The food was good too, all of our breakfast faves.
Sticky buns and fruit salad.


Eggs, bacon, sausage and potatoes,and homestyle biscuits served family style (all you can eat).

For the kiddies, the Mickey waffles are always the biggest hit.

And the drink unique to the OHANA restaurant, Lilo and Stitch's secret recipe POG juice!!! (That would be Passion Fruit, Orange and Guava).

Wow, you'd think I like food or something posting all of these pictures :)
Enough of that, there was more fun to be had. Soon after we started eating, Lilo came along with super big hugs for everyone, especially Hudson and Emily, and they were very happy about that.


Then, I don't think I have seen Emily any more excited than she was when Mickey came. Even more excited than the first time or the second time she saw him. And this time she even touched him and hugged him. She was definitely in her comfort zone with these characters now.



Last but not least, Stitch made his presence. I think the kids liked him because he was pretty small and almost at their level.


The fun didn't stop their, before the meal was over, everything stopped, the music started playing and the characters led everyone in a movin' and shakin' parade with maracas and all. Doesn't Emily just look like she is having the time of her life. Not bad for a 2 year old!!

After we were done our breakfast, we hopped back on the monorail and headed for our final hurrah at the Magic Kingdom. This is one park we seem to always hit twice.
Riley and Daddy were lookin' super cool as we entered the park and once again timed it just right for some more bee boppin' with the Jammin' Dance Party.


I was so happy when the kids wanted to stop in Mickeys Toontown Fair to get their faces painted. We have done this every year, and was disappointed when they didn't want to at Animal Kingdom. This made up for it, and it was Emily's first time (Grandma Mary's too I think). Such a cute little Minnie.



Of course Little Minnie had to go and check out her house and gardens afterwards.


One last stop to ride the Magic Carpets of Alladin, a tearful good-bye to the Chappells along with a fantastic group photo with the castle and our shirts and a visit with Princess Jasmine and Alladin complete our Disney 2010 adventures. But we weren't signing off on Florida quite yet.
