Disney Day 4

(you thought I forgot, didn't you...)

Enter Grandma Sue and Aunt Jillian-- stage left.

Grandma Sue and Aunt Jillian arrived at about 2am on Sunday night. They took off moments before Capi arrived back home in Detroit. Turns out that Sunday night/early Monday morning was quite eventful with Capi being involved (not the cause) in a hit and run minutes after returning home, and Grandma Sue and Aunt Jillian brought in the largest downpour we'd see. Too bad I ran around our huge resort trying to find them in a white T-shirt. I must have been thinking it was Spring Break... Anyway... if you want more details on those occurances, you'll just have to ask me about it IRL.

Back to Monday. The kids first day with Grandma Sue and Aunt Jillian. We decided to sleep in, due to their late arrival the night before. Someone forgot to let the kids know about the sleeping-in plans so we were up eating and playing around well before our 11 o'clock call time. We jumped a bus and headed to Animal Kingdom for 1/2 day. After some scheduling issues (this was my worst planned day), we ended up eating lunch at the Pizzafari first. Our attractions while there included Kilimanjaro Safaris, Pangani Forest Exploration Trail, Flights of Wonder (where Matt's head met concrete), and Finding Nemo- The Musical (which may be my favorite Disney Attraction).

We headed out of AK at about 5:30pm, and caught the bus to the Animal Kingdom lodge to catch another bus to Downtown Disney. I love the Disney buses and transportation, but it is a bit of a hassle trying to switch buses with 2 strollers and 3 kids. I think while we were waiting Julie reminded aunt Jillian while she should wait to have kids. She touched a garbage can and immidiately put her hands in her mouth. Jillian was grossed out, but I shrugged it off... I'm sure she's done worse. Toilet water, anyone?

She also did this for awhile, because she wasn't allowed to do whatever it is she wanted to do.

We had reservations at Planet Hollywood that evening. What a glorious thing to walk past all the waiting people to head to eat almost immediately after arriving. Only issue here was we were all the way up on the top floor so after climbing a trillion stairs we were finally able to eat. The food was good, and Kayla ate (or rather didn't eat) her first of many spaghetti dishes. For some reason she always insists on ordering "mas-spaghetti", and rarely eats it. I was smart and planned on Julie "sharing" her meal this time... so no real loss.

Anyway, we were exhausted after dinner-- headed back to the hotel and were quickly in bed.
