The Polynesian and More


So today, we are going to go and venture out to see what fun we can find with 8 kids in tow. We drive the back way to Disney and as the kids are seeing Disney things they are sooooo excited. The Kane kids could care less about it at this point since they grew up with it. We started at the Contemporary where I thought we would get into Chef Mickey without reservations. We did not!!!! Kids were not disappointed as we thought that could be a possibility.
Next, lets ride the monorail around Disney. My kids love this (so do I) and it comes at a very inexpensive price as you dont need a ticket to ride. First stop The Polynesian Resort Hotel. Caroline says lets get off here and try breakfast. Ok, we all jump out. They closed at 11:00 and it was 11:01 and of course no reservations. The family in front of us got turned away. Caroline worked her little "I live in Celebration magic" and there we were being seated!!!!!
I personally love the character breakfast. It is the best and easiest way to get with the characters not to mention that good food is involved.
Logan drank a gallon of the Lilo and Stitch juice by himself. I think that he liked it. Yes, they served the famous Mickey Mouse waffles.
Here are our two girls:
One of them was in it only for the food and the other just for the characters. Any guesses??
Larson was into it.....because he is into anything.
Here is the girl of the hour, my very best friend in the world. I have lots of best friends but she is the very bestest. Not sure why this picture got overexposed. You might even think that we are sisters in this picture. Doesnt matter if we are at Disney or cleaning bathrooms together, nothing is better than being together and not have a phone glued to our ears!!!!
This is stitch, pretty lame Disney character in my opinion. He had fun messing with the boys.
Pluto happens to be Jordan's favorite.
OK, wasn't sure if Logan would like hanging out with characters or not. He got a little nervous and would make the funniest faces. Then he would whisper that he wanted his picture taken with Pluto. He was so adorable and glad that Logan could do this because all of his older siblings certainly got to be with characters growing up.
William with the cutest smile.
Thanks for putting up with Logo this week. (Logo, short for Logan on the go)

A very happy Mommy.
Julia, our Ultimate Grand Supreme (inside joke if you have ever seen Toddlers and Tiaras)
It would have been nice to have Andrew in these pictures to complete our team but he was working a baseball camp all week.

That looks like allot of kids.
Now we are off to the boardwalk...
Larson and Julia, our twins from different Mamas.
Some monorail riding!
so, so CUTE!
This sight caused some excitement ( they didnt know that we would surprise them and would soon be riding space mountain)

Our Surrey Bike rides around the boardwalk.
This was very hot and appreciated the Kane kids being good sports. Caroline and I had a blast doing this.
I will admit that I couldn't cycle my gang up the big hill. The first time a worker with a gator drove up and pulled us up. Caroline had made it up and was on her way. We were laughing hysterically. The second time around some tourist just started pushing us. I look back and Matthew is now pushing his bike up. Very very fun!!! This was the first time that we had ever did the surrey bikes at the Boardwalk.
Logan only cried if we stopped! He loved riding in front and ringing the bell. He kept yelling faster which would make me just start laughing and loose all my momentum.
The Boardwalk
Jackson with his best Bieber look. He really has the hair shake down!!! He thinks the girls will dig it. Actually he was really loving looking at this roller coaster and telling me all about how the first roller coasters would work.
This is Julias bling. So cute. It came down to her belly button. Love it!
Needed a break after all the pedaling. So we bought our$10 drinks and rode the boat to Epcot.
Back Entry into Epcot.
So needless to say, we had a very fun day. We just know how to venture in and around Disney without even having a ticket, reservation or entering an actual park. Thanks so much Caroline for going and being with us. Then back to the house for swimming in the pool!
