| Congratulations on finally tackling Everest! Although, I can't understand how a woman who loves Dinosaur could have taken so long to enjoy her first trip with a Yeti!  I am enjoying every word, as usual. Can't wait to read more!

| Wednesday, June 6 Day Six Surprisingly enough, we didn’t have much problems getting up early after our late night.  The girls had an 8 a.m. breakfast date with Monica and Macy at 1900 Park Fare and Thom had a 9 a.m. tee time. Thom drove us over to GF before his golf game, so that was a real time saver. He then valet parked the car back at WL where a taxi whisked him off to Osprey Ridge.We were our usual ten minutes late when we entered the GF lobby and immediately spotted Monica and Macy. After taking a picture with Mary Poppins, we were seated right away in the back room which was great since it wasn’t even half full and we could spread out a bit more.  Monica took the girls to get their food while I stayed with Maddie and then I took my turn. This was my first time eating here for breakfast and I really enjoyed it. There was such a great variety and everything was so tasty (and yes, they had my apple crumble with vanilla sauce!).  As soon as the characters started arriving, I quickly realized that this is one of those places that has wonderful food plus great character interaction. I know that we saw each character at least twice and they spent a good deal of time with the girls on each visit. Maddie and the Mad Hatter took a particular liking to each other, so I believe that we saw him multiple times. This was the first time that I heard Maddie pronounce Tigger’s name as Tibber which she is still doing (it makes me smile every time she says it because she is adamant that he is Tibber!  ).    Continued in next post . . .

|  We had such a lovely breakfast at 1900 Park Fare and we still had our Family Magic Tour to look forward to. While Monica took the girls to the restroom, Maddie and I retrieved her stroller from the porch. On our way back in, Maddie wanted to meet Mary Poppins also.  In no time, we were at MK and through the gates (thanks to Monica and Macy for helping me get two little girls and a backpack through those gates  ). Monica checked us in and got our name tags for us at City Hall and then we waited for just a few minutes in the little adjoining garden. This is when Monica informed me that she was treating us to the Family Magic Tour. What a sweetheart she is!  Like Monica, I won’t go into too many details to keep from spoiling the tour for others, but I will share some of my thoughts and pictures. First of all, it was nothing like I expected. It was fun, crazy and a totally new experience. We had a small group of twelve people and everyone participated which really added to the fun. Mary Devall was really really into it and had a blast.  One thing that stands out to me was when we were going around talking about our favorite character. When it was my turn, I was Tinkerbell and then a little later, it was Macy’s turn and she was also Tinkerbell. After that, Macy came over to stand by my side and gave me the sweetest smile - - we were Tinkerbell soul sisters.   One other thing was when we went around and said why we were happy. Mary Devall said that she was happy to be with Monica and Macy. That pretty much summed up our morning! We ended with some photo ops with Peter Pan and Wendy which was a fantastic way to wrap up our tour. I let Maddie out of her stroller and she immediately went for Wendy who knelt down to be at Maddie’s level. Maddie turned around and snuggled right up to Wendy who turned to me and asked “Can I keep her?” Wendy definitely has those mothering tendencies!  Continued in next post . . .

|    After we said goodbye to our guide (was her name Cayman, Monica? I remember it being something funky) and our fellow funsters, we took the girls to ride some rides. Mary Devall definitely wasn’t ready for her time with Macy to come to an end. We grabbed some fast passes for Peter Pan and then hopped in a fairly short line for Snow White. Macy and Mary Devall rode in the front of the car and Mary Devall was in heaven hiding her eyes against Macy’s arm. Our car stopped several times throughout the ride and we all had a good laugh when Macy informed us that it had stopped on them earlier in the week in the same exact spots - - we even sat for a while under the spot where the witch tries to knock the boulder on you!  We came out of the ride unscathed and then moved on to check the stand by line for Pooh. While in that area, we saw that Rabbit was out but his line was already closed. Mary Devall had never met him, so we were hoping to catch him later. The stand by line for Pooh was way too long, so the girls had fun playing in Pooh’s playground for a while. This is one of my favorite pictures from the entire trip.  Not long after that, Monica and Macy had to leave to make their ADR for a late lunch at Le Cellier so we walked to the front of the park with them and said goodbye for now. What an absolutely fantastic morning that was! Thanks so much to Monica for planning it and treating us! Up next . . . rain, more rain and just a bit of a Rabbit fixation

| What a wonderful morning! I really love 1900 Park Fare...you are right is has a great mix of tasty treats and caring characters! The FMT sounds like it was a blast, I think I need to try to fit that in. Great that the girls could extend the visit with a few rides before parting ways. Kudos to Monica for treating you, too. danielle
