On Tuesday, everyone got up early and headed to the Magic Kingdom.
We weren't as successful getting a good picture in front of the castle as we were in front of the Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom.
Hazel's favorite ride was It's a Small World. Anytime the older kids wanted to go on anything scary, she convinced people to go on It's a Small World. I think final count was 4 or 5 time this day.
After a few other rides (Peter Pan, Pooh, etc.) we headed over to the spinning tea cups. Hazel and Jillian loved it!
Grandma Jellybean, however, might have spun a little too fast and needed a little break.
Our families split up for lunch. We went to the Plaza and, as is tradition, had some delicious ice cream for dessert.
And somehow, Hazel convinced Big Laura that she neeeeeeeeeeded a sucker. Laura was happy to provide...
On Wednesday morning, the whole gang went to Chef Mickeys for a breakfast buffet. As seen below, Lisey was no longer screaming at the characters, but still wasn't particularly interested.
After breakfast, we all headed over to the Hollywood Studios. After a morning of various rides, we all headed over to the Lights, Motors, Action! Stunt Show. Laura had pulled a few strings for us, and the McCain party was given VIP seating. However, that wasn't the end of the surprises. We learned during the show that a fancy driving stunt maneuver is known in the industry as the McCain Maneuver. And, finally, when called for a volunteer from the audience, Little Megan was selected!

After the show, we all got to go back stage and talk to the stunt coordinator. He showed us all the cars and even let us sit in them. Pretty darn cool!
A picture of us back stage. In Mary's defense, it was pretty hot on the asphalt.
While some of the thrill seekers went on Mission: Space, the tamer croud went and visited Nemo and friends.
Eeeeek! Sharks!
After going on Journey into Imagination, Jillian and Lisey went exploring. We still aren't sure who was leading the way.
It was H-O-T, hot hot hot. We stopped for strawberry icees. Brilliant idea!
While spending time in France, who should we meet? Sleeping Beauty! Hazel was wearing Sleeping Beauty socks and showed her. She was very impressed!
At our fancy French dinner, we were visited by the chef -- Remy!
Hazel would never have forgiven us if we didn't meet Rapunzel. They had a awesome waiting area with a coloring area!
Hazel and Elise were in awe. Hazel had planned on asking were Eugene (aka Flynn Rider) and Maximus (the horse) were, but froze. Think Ralphie in A Christmas Story when meeting Santa...
Fortunately, I didn't freeze. Megan asked if I could get a picture, and Rapunzel said only if I could give her a good "smolder". I got the picture.
