THE NEWTON'S

We slept in and didn't wake up until around 11am!  WOW!  I can't remember the last time we went on vacation and slept in that late.  We took it easy and hung out in our rooms, got up and headed to Downtown Disney.  We picked up some lunch there and window shopped and then went and saw the new Harry Potter Movie.  Afterwards we went back to the hotel and checked out the activities around the grounds of the resort.  We tried our hands at playing Bocce ball, and table tennis.  The kids went swimming in the pool and then we went to dinner at one of my favorite Disney Restaurants... Boma.  I LOVE the food there.  It's just unique and great.  They didn't have my favorite soup out that day, but I found plenty of other stuff that I liked. Then we called it a day and went back to the hotel.  You would have thought that since we slept in so late the day before, we would be up and ready to go early the next day.  But we enjo...

We slept in again this morning.  Then we played some Bocce Ball and table tennis, and the kids went swimming.  My baby still pumped up after conquering Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain Railroad, walked right up the steps on the big slide at the pool and went straight down the slide.  She was so excited to not be left behind by the big kids and play with them as they would slide down and hike up the stairs over and over and over again.  We took it easy for most of the afternoon, and then changed and got ready to head to the Magic Kingdom for Mickey's Christmas Party.  I loved seeing all the decorations they have up along main street.  We caught a glimpse of the parade as it finished, and before we had our dining reservations for the night.  The view of the Magic Kingdom at night is so cool!  I love how they have the castle lit up and all the lighted decorations.  Alyssa tried space mountain again... it's still a little dark for he...

We didn't get back to our rooms till almost 1am, and so we slept in this morning. We still had to get up early enough to get over to Chef Mickey's for Breakfast. Alex was in seventh heaven filling up on his favorite meal of the day- Breakfast. I lost count of how many plates of food he went through. I forgot to grab the camera for breakfast, so we only got cell phone pictures of the kids with the characters.  After breakfast the kids declared the day a camera free day.  I guess me taking pictures of them every time they turn a corner was getting to them. :)  I left the camera in my bag till the end of the day. After breakfast we went to Downtown Disney and went to Disney Quest.  The kids had a great fun time there.  They loved the video games, and the interactive rides.  After we were sufficiently video gamed out (or us parents were- the kids could have kept playing for hours!) we grabbed some dinner- another Disney Tradition... Ghiradelli's for dinner. :...
