Tonight is Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, so we’re going to try to take the morning easy. We get up when we’re ready - which for me means by 6:30, and the rest of the crew by about 8:30. I offer the kids breakfast now, pool later or reverse, and of course, they are kids. They want to go to the pool NOW. The AKL pool is so nice. It’s a zero entry pool, which means you don’t climb down steps, you go in like you do at the beach, and the water gradually gets deeper. It’s also HEATED - YAY!!! The air temperature is still a bit cool - low 70’s - but the water feels pretty good and the kids go right in. The water slide is closed, since there are no life guards on duty yet, but I don’t think the kids would use the slide anyway. We hang out at the pool about an hour and a half, and the girls have worked up an appetite for some breakfast. We head on up to the room, and I throw breakfast together while Jim puts the kids in the shower, then while they eat, I hop in the shower. We are going to head to Downtown Disney to get Granuaile’s silhouette done. I have one of each of the other girls at age 2, so it’s her turn.
