November 2012: Last Day

Our cousins left today, so it was just us and Mimi left.  We absolutely can't remember what we did on Saturday morning of our last day.  It is all a blur.  I am pretty sure we hit magic kingdom for one last time, but there are no pictures or memories to show for it!!  In the afternoon we went to Epcot and had some fun playing in the phone booths:

Sisters!  They were so excited to head to Epcot for our last evening.

Too bad the phone booths don't work anymore :(

Can never pass up a meeting with Stitchy, our family fav!

We hit up Nemo and then headed to dinner at Garden Grill, this is always one of my favorite character meals since they come around more than once.  Such a great way to spend the last night of vacation.

And that wraps up another fabulous Disney trip for the Murphy's.  We had a quick breakfast at Kouzzina the next morning.  Delish by the way!  And then headed out to the airport and home.  

This was a crazy year with our quick adults only trip in October and then barely making it home in time before Hurricane Sandy.  Then we spent the next three weeks dealing with the aftermath of the storm and headed back to Disney but the trip was worth it and we had a wonderful time.  We love our big family trips and always miss them when we just go with the four of us.  But don't worry we won't be gone long, only a five month wait till we can be back again in April 2013!!!

November 2012: Day 7

Definitely doing this blog too late to remember all the details, I will try to remember to do it sooner on our next trips!  This was our last full day and I think we kind of took it easy.  We made rope drop at Magic Kingdom and hit some of our favorite rides for the last time.  Then it was an early lunch at Be Our Guest!  We were so excited to be able to get another preview of the new Fantasyland, we were basically stalking the area all morning until we found it open.  Be Our Guest lunch was yum, we got in line early and hardly had to wait.  Mommy had the Croque Monsier which was the best dish we tried that day.  The kids weren't too thrilled with the healthier options on the menu, but it was very cool how they found us using the magical rose and brought out our lunch.  It was also exciting to be one of the first to try the new restaurant!  We were able to snag reservations for dinner when we were there for lunch, but sadly the rest of our crew wasn't into it and we ended up missing.

We headed back to Boardwalk for a rest and a change before heading out to the Christmas Party for the night.  We started with a yummy family dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern.  Then we headed out for some rides and waited patiently for the parade.  Some hot cocoa and cookies made the night for us.

Unfortunately we couldn't get through the crowds on main street to watch with our cousins, but it was still a magical time.  We had so much fun on this trip, can't wait till 2014!

Long line for the dwarves but totally worth it!

Yummy hot chocolate!

Mommy's fav the wooden soldiers!

With our Mimi  :)

November 2012: Day 6

Day 6: Magic Kingdom

 

 

We started our day with a rope drop trip to Merida.  As you can see Lexi is dressed as Rapunzel initially in her wedding dress.  Turns out she loved Merida so much that a costume change was in order before we hit Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique.

 

Thank goodness Mimi was around and able to make a quick trip to the Emporium to assist with the transformation.

 

Did I mention that it was Lexi's Birthday today?  That plays a very big role today, as you will see...

 

 

This was Avery's first time being able to do this.  She loved it!  She is like a little diva especially when dressed up like a princess.

 

 

Snow White and Belle checking eachother out!

 

 

Love your nails!

Our six beautiful princesses!

 

 

 

Time for a quick spin on the Carousel and then headed into the castle for lunch and Lexi's birthday celebration.

 

 

The whole gang

 

 

Wonder what she is wishing for!

 

 

Beautiful and yummy cake!

Happy 6th Birthday to me love, miss Lexi

 

 

 

 

 

We spent a full afternoon hitting rides in Magic Kingdom, can't remember exactly what we did, but went on rides as a group, ended up heading to Ohana for dinner, it was also delicious, though we were barely hungry at that point since we had lunch at the castle.  It was yum and a great way to end a wonderful day and Birthday for Lex.
