Day 4 Part 1 Ohana means family .... Let's go swimming!

We wake up this beautiful morning and it is our character breakfast at Ohana.
Aloha Kakahiaka, E Komo Mai
Good morning, Welcome!
I am so super excited. We are here on our honeymoon :) I was a little emotional, because we were supposed to share this with good friends of ours who were going through a tough time. Ohana means "family" and they are so special to us, like family. I kept them in my heart and thoughts. I felt they were with us in spirit. I cannot wait for the day we can all go there together. We checked in at the podium and they gave us leis... They were not very masculine, haha so it was cute to see Tim wear it for the 2 minutes that he did, Ty thought it was itchy... haha I rocked it with pride :)

From Disney Day 4

We got our table and were served Stitch Juice... OJ, guava, passionfruit...something else, but it sounded good for you, so I drank a glass or 2. It was yum.

They served breakfast bread... It was very sweet.

Fresh fruit... yum on the pineapple :)
Here is Ty making a silly smile face... haha

Daddy mac will make ya...

From Disney Day 4

Ty spilled his Stitch juice and we giggled about it...well not daddy, but we did. haha Sorry Tim.

The normal breakfast food was served.. especially Mickey Waffles... It was all you can eat, but we were good with what we have and they were major food pushers. haha We kept saying "No thank you..." and they would look at us kinda shocked. haha Dude, seriously, it was a ton of food the first go around, look at the bread alone! 

We got sat next to a large party, but the tables were not together to they yelled to each other. It was so annoying. You would expect the kids to act up, not the parents to be so obnoxious. we had fun anyway... haha Just gives us something else to chat about. HA

Then there was this adorable parade, they all got shakers and marched around the restaurant with the characters. Ty LOVED it of course. haha

All about the parade

Interesting

Pluto and Ty are buds... Ty was cute with his little autograph book :)

Here is CRAZY Stitch...

Mickey and Ty having a moment

I know this is blurry, but totally cute, so I had to post it

Pucker up!!!

And we all looked like this when we left cause we were super full! 

When we left Ty posed at some of the statues all around. It was so cute. 

This one played drums and he was stoked.

Playing one handed

Then Ty notices the ukulele in the window... We got a red one last time, but he was just checking it out... while he did I went in and bought him one so we could surprise him.

And we did and he matched it up to the glass... he was so excited and got right into performing. haha

Had to play in front of the drummer dude...

In front of the waterfalls

Singing his little heart out... it was cute cause people stopped to watch him as they were walking by. It didn't faze him, haha, he was performing his little heart out. 

Even stopped by the exit to play one more song. 

We had such a fabulous time! We decided to head back to go swimming and relax a bit. Tim and Ty got a head start while I did some laundry. I met them and we were hanging out with Ty at the baby pool. Ty was playing with these two little boy and and having a blast when Tim noticed something in the water... It was poo! NO JOKE! So grossed out!!!

Sorry, no pictures.

 Tim went straight away to the lifeguards and on the way stepped in a little pile that was on the ground. SO DISGUSTING, but for some reason was laughing my arse off... I guess cause it was not me, I would have probably cried! haha Sorry Tim, had to tell it, its the trip report, don't you want to remember something like that! HAHAAhahaahaa

They closed the pool and drained it... What parent does not notice that and then just leaves it there! Some people are so nasty, I swear! 

We got in the big pool and swam around there. They had a dance party going on and people were doing these line dances and craziness. Total fun and helped take our minds off of the nasty happenings... Then they blew up this gigantic beach ball and threw it in the pool... everyone was playing with it. We decided to get out and go get ready to go to Hollywood studios to see the Osbourne Lights :) 

Coming up... Hollywood, Power Rangers, The cutest Lion, Good Music and Whispering Canyon Cafe!

Disney Day 3 Part 2... AK, SWIMMING and PARADES OH MY...

So... yes, Tim is still soaked, you don't ride a ride like that 2x in a row without a poncho and expect to dry fast do ya? Even in the warm (was not even HOT) Florida sun. haha 

We headed over to the Yak and Yeti, we were a little early, but they had a table for us. Tim was trying to get warm and a tall beer was just what he thought might help... haha 

And I opted for the Emperor Margarita (w/gran marnier - yum)

and I believe Tyler was rocking some Lemonade

Baby Back Ribs

Crispy Honey Chicken

Ty rocking the chopsticks



Jammin Jungle Mickey

Santa Goofy!!!!

Ty waving furiously! Precious!

Ty LOVED the drums... it took a while to pry him away from them...

Rockin it!

Still rocking it!

We had to say... "hey, lets go back so we can go swimming... "

and he was game, so we headed back to the resort.

We ran into a couple critters...

Here is the mischievous Meeko and Tyler

Ty and Brer Rabbit

Riding the "Charley" Trolley back to were we parked...

When we got back to the resort, it was pretty warm, in the low 80s, enough to go swimming, so we suited up and off we went. The guitar pools heater was not working, so we went to the piano pool. Tyler had a blast. He learned how to swim :) With a life vest of course, but without me holding him. He was so very proud of the fact that we didn't have to hold onto him. His little hands were paddling like crazy, feet kicking, it was precious. We had races. We decided to get out and dry off and rest for a bit. Magic Kingdom had extra magic hours, so we thought it would be cool to head over there, see the fireworks, ride some rides :) 

So off we were... we got there just in time for the Main Street Electric Parade. I loved this as a child and I love that they still do it. Its just beautiful. 

Here is Mickey!

Ty waving again :)

You know it... The Little Mermaid!

Gorgeous floats... but this parade moves very sllloooowwwww.... haha

The fireworks were about to start.... but noticed that the line for Buzz Lightyear was well... light. haha, So we got on. I don't remember our scores, but Tim rode in a separate car from Ty and I and I noticed he was pretty serious about scoring some points. I think we'll give him this one. haha

When we got out, the fireworks were underway, but there was a slight drizzle. We watched for a moment and Ty wanted to drive the cars... So Tim took him on that while I went on Space Mountain... It was a LOT faster than I remember. haha

After we met back up, We went on Stitch's Great Escape... It was a bit scary, but Ty handled it. haha

Ty played in the Winnie the Pooh playground and then it was time for the Teacups! 

Tyler LOVED this ride, he still talks about it. 

Then we rode the carousel.... This was the first time Tyler rode on the horse without me holding onto him. He was so brave, I was a nervous wreck. I think I kept my hand on him. haha

Here is the beautifully lit Cinderella's Castle... it is breathtaking in person...

Just look at that detail... its just incredible.

We had a severe case of the red eye, so I antiqued the color... nothing I can do about that miserable look I got going on... believe me, I was not at all. haha Just one of those rare paparazzi captures. I am not used to getting my picture taken anymore... 

Just imagine Walt Disney looking down from Heaven... it must feel amazing to make that many people, from all over the world feels so much happiness and joy! I am truly grateful for Mr. Walt Disney!!!

We got in like for the monorail and I noticed the Electric Water Parade... It just happened to be playing "God Bless America" This song is pretty special in my family. Whenever a family party ended, my Mom-mom would lead everyone in song to... "God Bless America"... I felt her with me. It was such a special moment for me. 

What a way to end such a magical day. 

Next up... 

Ohana, Swimming... Hollywood Studios, Power Rangers... Whispering Canyon...
