Jolly Holiday with Mary
The Dapper Dans singing It’s a Jolly Holiday with Mary (one of my favourites; I love Mary Poppins!)
Harry loved the Dapper Dans
Harry absolutely loved being serenaded by the Dapper Dans. They almost put him to sleep! He also liked hugging his new pal Mickey that we bought him.
And finally, Mickey and Minnie bringing up the rear – Festival of Fantasy parade
Alice in Wonderland also came right over to us and booped Harry on the nose! (He was dumbfounded but not upset) – Festival of Fantasy parade
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves – Festival of Fantasy parade
One of the dwarves came right over to say hi to Harry.
Harry’s favourite part of the Festival of Fantasy parade was, surprisingly enough, Merida’s Scottish boat (or is it giant bagpipes?) from the movie Brave which he hasn’t even seen! He was pointing and clapping at it.
The Little Mermaid, Captain Hook’s ship and Peter Pan – Festival of Fantasy parade

Anna and Elsa’s sisterly antics – Festival of Fantasy parade

Got amazing seats for the new Festival of Fantasy parade this afternoon!
Ohana
Harry loved Ohana’s and so did I
Dinner at Ohana
We had a wonderful dinner tonight at Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian resort. It was all you can eat. They started off with sweet bread and butter followed by lettuce wraps then pork dumplings and chicken wings. Then came the skewers of steak (medium rare), shrimp and pork. Everything was cooked on a huge open fire grill and was served to us right from the massive skewers. There was also a noodle and vegetable course. Little Harry got a special macaroni and cheese dish which was free but he like sampling all the other wonderful food as well. Everything was cooked wonderfully. It was so hard to force ourselves to save room for later courses. The whole time they had a Hawaiian lady walking around singing and playing her ukelele. She also got all the little kids involved with playing a game involving pushing coconuts across the room with brooms. Then they did some hula dancing and little Harry almost participated. He and his mother got a lei though anyway.
Service was excellent. Servers were constantly trying to bring us more food. They were great with little Harry too.
We will definitely be going there again on our next trip, which won’t be until about 2022, but that’s a different story.
Finally, we had dessert which consisted of bread pudding with coconut banana sauce and ice cream. Little Harry got his own little bowl of ice cream too. Which he ate with a spoon by himself. Wow was he a mess.
All in all, Harry was really good throughout the entire meal until we took his empty ice cream dish away in order to clean him up. That was the only time he really protested.
POP Century sign
The big Pop Century sign that I never get a chance to take a picture of because it is hard on a bus
Sleeping on the bus
The little boy fell asleep on the bus and didn’t wake up until he had been sleeping in his bed for about 30 minutes. Then he had a bottle and went right back to sleep.
Lunch at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. I’d like to point out that I chose the healthy option. The Greek salad is mine and the Cheeseburger is Leanne’s.
Dumbo Ride Play Area
This is the waiting play area for the Dumbo ride. It’s really great for kids. They give you a pager and then let you play until your pager beeps. Harry loved the fire truck so much that he didn’t want to share. We made it onto the Dumbo ride for about 5 seconds then left because Harry started screaming and wouldn’t sit in the seat with us. We were just at the Haunted Mansion before this and he did great.
Small World
He really liked the Small World ride. Lots of stuff to look at.
Taxi in Hollywood Studios
Harry playing with an old taxi cab. He was driving his train on the back bumper. He would have done that for hours if we would have let him.
