DISNEY 2019 (DAY SIX)

Day Six:
Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios repeats!

Early morning goodbyes with Gramma, then off to the Kingdom at a RUN to hit up Big Thunder and Splash Mountains before the crowds reached them:
Churro morning snack for James and Mama :-)
Heading back to our favorite ride and snapping some Foolish Mortal photos with the Disney photographers out front:
Then we were off to the final mountain - it was the kids first time on Space Mountain and they absolutely LOVED it! If we'd been able to grab another FastPass we'd have done it twice. (Oh, and a SECOND morning snack - burning up snack credits - of ice cream from Auntie Gravity's.)
And then it was time for a fashionably late lunch at the castle (where James once again received a special birthday dessert and song!)

A little target practice and friendly competition...
Even MORE ice cream (Cora was a big fan of the orange cream swirl at the Sunshine Tree Terrace, even more so than the famous Dole Whip) and a shadow selfie with mama:
We said a quick goodbye to the tired grandparents and high-tailed it over to Hollywood Studios to party out the evening with repeats of the kids' favorite rides and some more meet-and-greets with Star Wars characters. 
(Quick Serve dinner at Woody's Lunch Box)
Everybody wanted a hug from Chewy!
We were all a little unsure about our next encounter...
One last run through the Tower before leaving the parks!

DISNEY 2019 (DAY FIVE)

Day Five:
Epcot
Epcot's Flower and Garden Festival started today and the entire park was extra gorgeous!
(WALL-E is one of our favorites and Jay agreed to ONE "matching" Disney shirt)
Gramma finally got to ride Soarin' (the kids were too small last time we went to Disney)!
James is a big fan of finding "Hidden Mickey's"
Coral Reef was SO GOOD 4 years ago that we just had to go back and take Grambot and PawPaw this time around! (And yes, Jay had the lobster again, and James had yet ANOTHER birthday dessert and song from the waiter - wear that birthday pin all week long!)
We stole PawPaw away (and made him walk really far backwards) so he and Cora could ride Test Track (and she designed a star-spangled purple glitter car...)
Plenty of time for beer and pretzels in Germany afterward:
More posing with cute garden creations:
Last full group photo of the Disney trip!
