Disney World Part 5

 This is our last Disney recap! We were so sad to see this Disney trip come to a close. The only way to get rid of the "Post-Disney-Blues" is to plan your next trip. ;)

We knew after our marathon-worthy day (Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Epcot) that we would need a slow morning, so that's exactly what we did! We had reservations around 8:00AM at Topolino's Terrace at the Riviera Resort. This was our last character meal and the one I was the most excited for! Reservations for this restaurant are really hard to come by, so I was ecstatic that we had secured one! We got to meet Donald, Daisy, Pluto, Mickey and Minnie at this particular character meal. 

The menu at Topolino's has fixed prices, which means that no matter what you order it costs the same. Our waiter gave us an insider tip: You can order one item, but with a side of another if you'd like to try more than one item. I ordered the Quiche Lorraine with a side of the sour cream waffles, and Dustin ordered the salmon with a side of the waffles. Sammy ordered the Mickey waffles with bacon and fruit. 


Pretty shortly after we were seated we got this yummy pastry bucket! The pastries were warm, guys. So delicious! You are able to request a refill, but we didn't. 

Sammy was loving life with his Mickey waffle dipper. I didn't get a good picture of his plate, but it came on a artist's palette with lots of dipping options. Needless to say, I wish I hadn't put him in this shirt for this meal - he was a sticky mess!

My meal was absolutely delicious. It was one of my favorite meals of the trip! 

I really think we had the best seats in the house. We were seated in a huge booth that was open to the center. This meant we got a front row view of all of the characters as they passed us. 

After our amazing breakfast we went back to our resort. I wanted to confirm our flights back (I was having a hard time having our confirmation numbers work, insert nerves), and we wanted to all catch a nap and pack a bit before we went to Magic Kingdom that afternoon and evening. Our flights were ridiculously early the next morning, so we wanted to have most of everything ready to go so we could enjoy our time at Magic Kingdom. 

Here we are, back on Dumbo for about the fifth time. My sweet friend, Hannah, made these shirts for our trip! I love that they aren't a "classic" Disney style shirt. 

I tell you what, I think that Sammy would be 100% content with just riding Dumbo and then checking out the circus train afterwards. It's his absolute favorite, and we have a hard time tearing him away from it! 

He's just so full of joy here. 

The rest of our day at Magic Kingdom was filled with hitting our favorite rides again, snacking on delicious food, and seeing the fireworks. This trip was truly one for the books! Sammy enjoyed just about every second and asks us to go back daily. Disney is always a magical place to visit, but the magic is next-level during the holiday season. We are already plotting our return trip! Thank you for reading along about our trip!

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. 😉 He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today! 

Sammy is SEVEN!

  Sammy is SEVEN! Seven years ago we were at the hospital, excited and nervous to meet our Samuel John.  Sammy was always a happy baby and toddler, and that's continued into childhood. He is so affable, friendly, and confident! He loves his family, he loves to play and he loves to be active. Games are his favorite, and he loves to "snuggle."  Since returning back to school, he's developed a huge love of reading! As a first grade teacher this WARMS my heart. He loves most books, but right now he favors graphic novels. He is the best big brother. Without us asking, he is so willing to help his brother. Just yesterday, Jack sneezed and Sammy ran to get him a wipe and then proceeded to wipe Jack's nose for him. If someone gets hurt he often hurries to see what's wrong and if he can help. He's a lot like Dustin in that he loves to have fun and be social. He's a lot like me in that he loves to make lists and know the when/how things are happening. He loves a...

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...
