Harry was still asleep at 8:05 this morning. He eventually woke up with a little encouragement and couldn’t wait to get in his stroller to see “Mickey”. He now uses Mickey’s full first name.

Whoops
This morning I woke up early, showered, got dressed in the dark, and went down to the food court to get our coffee before Harry woke up. It wasn’t until much later as I was brushing my teeth after breakfast that I looked at myself in the full length mirror and had to laugh because I realized my blue jean skort was on backwards. The back pockets were on the front and the fake fly was on the back. Don’t worry, only dozens of people saw me. It’s not like the resort was deserted or anything.

Olaf Puppet
They gave us an Olaf puppet at the entrance to Hollywood Studios. He got kind of wrecked from being in the bottom of the stroller and dragged along the ground a bit. I could probably make one at home—that looks like a paint stirring stick.

Harry loves seeing “Mick”
Harry loves seeing “Mick” every time we go to our room. Oh and did you know the Deluxe resorts ($300+ per night) don’t have these huge Disney characters?

Brrrr…Florida is cold!
Brrrr! The weather is so cold down here in Florida that Harry was able to play in the snow.
He had to wear his shorts because we forgot to pack his snow suit.

Free Timbits were “Num, num!”
The free timbits were num num according to Harry. Honey dipped!
John’s new phone made a handy “mini iPad” while waiting to board. We also found the Fisher Price Play Gate which had a slide, musical activity tables, and ride-on zebras (all made by Fisher Price of course). Harry loved that area. It kept him busy and let him burn off some energy before we got on the plane.
The highlight of the Pop Century resort so far for Harry has been the kiddie pool in the 1960’s themed area (near the Hippy Dippy Pool). He had great fun splashing around and wading through the extremely shallow water (notwithstanding a minor incident involving swallowing and regurgitating said water all over his mother).
After a nice warm shower and some bedtime stories, we basically all got ready for bed and darkened the room. Then I sang to Harry and put him in his pack and play. He was asleep by 8:45 which isn’t really too much later than normal. Could have been worse. All in all, a good first day, topped off with an amazing view of the fireworks right outside our window. And thankfully the noise from that didn’t even faze our sleeping boy. What a trooper!

Magical Express
Harry was humming to himself and looking out the window of the Magical Express. The next thing we knew he was fast asleep.
We could see the Frozen Spectacular fireworks at Hollywood Studios from our room. We have a great view of the lake and the Art of Animation resort.

Finally asleep
Little Harry finally fell asleep on the bus. He didn’t even wake up when we got off.

BUF to MCO
Harry was pretty good on the flight until he wanted milk and got a bottle full of water. Then he screamed. Otherwise he was good. He looked like he was going to fall asleep but never did. Right now he is drinking milk on the Disney Magical Express and is saying “Mick”.
Our southwest flight attendant was pretty funny as they often are. We actually sang to someone because it was their birthday. They got us all to press the call button which lit up the entire plane. Then they made him a peanuts pack hat which was pretty cool. Everyone loves Harry.

TSA with a toddler
We made it to the gate! Whew! Security wasn’t too bad and we got to do TSA-pre again which meant not removing shoes, liquids or laptops. They even let Harry keep “Tom” after the security lady checked it out carefully first. Leanne also forgot all about the half full milk bottle in her bag and they didn’t even notice.
We stopped at Tim Hortons just before the border and Harry’s cuteness scored him two Timbits.
Harry fell asleep about 20 minutes from the airport. So he is due for a nap.
Right now Leanne is taking him on a tour of the airport.
