Day five

Day five was the day that Brent's grandpa joined us on our trip. The plan had been since we booked the trip that Brent's grandparents were going to join us on our last day at Disney when we went to downtown Disney and we would all go shopping together. Brent's grandmother very unexpectedly died in the beginning of August. We decided that we would see if instead of Brent's grandpa driving down and back by himself in one day if we could make it work for him to come the day before and go to the parks with us and spend the night. It ended up working out great and we were able to get him the hotel room next to ours at the hotel (ps, it did work out that we got a first floor room which I am very grateful for because it made things a lot easier with Jillian's stroller and oxygen)

We got up in the morning and headed to breakfast. Brent's grandpa met us at the hotel when we were finishing breakfast. We then all took a bus over to Animal Kingdom. Our first thing was fast passes for Everest. We asked grandpa if he liked roller coasters and he said he had not been on one in a long time but he would try it. Brent, grandpa and I went on Everest and my parents hung out with Jilli. When we got back my parents did their fast passes and Brent went in the single rider line as single rider was walk on at that point. Once they all got back the guys all took Jilli and headed to the meeting place for Pocahontas and mom and I rode single rider. Mom and I met the boys just as they found the entrance to Pocahontas' line. We all got in line and waited to meet Pocahontas. She was one of my favorite princesses and Jillian got to see that movie recently and really liked it.
Next we headed over to the safari which we had fast passes for. It was a whole deal about Jilli's stroller but we finally got it worked out and onto the ride. Jilli liked seeing all of the animals. By the time the ride was over though Jilli was over heated and the problem with Animal Kingdom for Jilli is there is little air conditioning. We grabbed lunch at Flame Tree BBQ and then left the park.
We grabbed a bus heading to Magic Kingdom. Once inside the gates we got some family picture done. We then headed to the Tiki Room, which Jilli loved. She was just looking all around. We went over to the Jungle Cruise where for wheelchairs because you have to enter a separate way out of the normal line they give you a paper that gives you a return time to come back which is ten minutes less then the current stand by line wait. Since the line was only 20min long at that point our wait time was 10min. We were going to look for something to do for 10min but Jilli started to complain about a head ache and started looking rough. We got her out of the sun and did water flushes. We changed her out of her princess dress into a t-shit and let her rest for a little bit. It was one of those moments that was a reminder of how quick Jilli can turn and get overheated. September for us was a great time to go because it was cooler then in the middle of the summer, I don't think with Jillian's heat issues we could go during the summer months. We did have a stroller fan that we kept blowing on her most of the time and that helped.
We rode on the Jungle Cruise which has a cool lift for wheel chairs. At this point Jilli was rather spent and she kicked back and relaxed. Once off we headed to the Littler Mermaid ride because it simulates being under water so it is cold in there. Then we headed to Small World where there was a backup of people waiting for the wheel chair accessible boat but it is not as hot waiting in that line so it was a good place to cool off.
We then headed to meet Donald Duck because we had yet to meet him and it was our last day in the park. Jilli had been asking for days where Donald was. Donald and Goofy meet together. She said hi to Goofy and was friendly but she was in love with Donald when she got to him and Donald was in love with her... until she licked him. Yup, you read that right she licked Donald Duck. Everyone just stood there looking at her not sure what to do. After she licked him we figured it was probably best to finish up pictures with Donald and keep moving! We asked her why she licked him and she did not have an answer. We then headed for dinner. The boys got Pinocchio's and the mom and I got Colombia Harbor House. We found a place to plug Jillian in and enjoyed dinner.
We then headed to the Haunted Mansion store to get a really cool set of serving plates that have the blueprints of the ride on them.
Dad, Brent and I went and rode Splash Mountain and mom, Jilli and grandpa went and watched the parade. We met them in the hub to watch the fireworks. As we came up to them someone came up with a service dog and sat right next to Jilli. Jilli has a dog allergy and the last time she was close to a dog we ended up in the ER, I did not want to take that chance even though we were outside and I was not going to ask someone else to move so we found a new spot in a different area to stand, which worked out fine.
Jillian slept through the fire works (anytime anything got loud she was out) and we enjoyed the show. We hung out for a little bit on main street while the crowds cleared a little and then headed to stand in a bus line. We got a bus back to our hotel and then all headed to bed.

How they got Jillian's stroller on Jungle Cruise

Jilli was not sure about this but the cast members on Jungle Cruise were so great talking to her and keeping her entertained while they got her off and on

Just chilling

We went to see Mickey's Philharmagic while it rained

Thats a Jillian look for you!

She was in love with Donald Duck!

I think she would have stayed with him forever. Before she licked him Donald motioned that he wanted to keep her

and here she is licking him...

It was pouring outside at this point and well air conditioned inside so my glasses fogged over

This was a fun ride on Splash Mountain. There was a lot of weight on one side of the boat which made it interesting and it was all adults so we were looking for things like Hidden Mickeys and talking about Song of The South and singing the songs. It was a great time!
