"Where to first?" Coach Bolton asked once they were inside the park.
"Movie Ride!" Elizabeth answered.
"What's the movie ride?" Mrs. Bolton asked as they walked to a replica of Grumman's Chinese Theatre.
"The Great Movie Ride has memorable scenes from classic movies like 'Mary Poppins' and 'Casablanca'." Troy answered.
"I told Mommy that you like it when she dresses up like Princess Jasmine, Daddy." Elizabeth randomly announced.
Troy almost tripped right there. He didn't know how his daughter heard him say anything. Gabriella cleared her throat showing that she wanted an answer. Troy was trying to come up with an appropriate answer for his three year old daughter than the actual answer.
Flashback
Troy was watching the girls while Gabriella was out grocery shopping. While Lanai was sleeping upstairs, Troy and Elizabeth were having a Disney movie marathon in the family room. Just then the phone rang.
"Hello?" Troy asked answering the phone in the kitchen. "Hey, Chad."
As he was talking to his best friend, Troy didn't see Elizabeth come into the kitchen. From what she could understand, her Aunt Taylor was now a cheerleader, seeing as she was dressing up like one.
"Dude, Gabby has this Princess Jasmine out that she wears every so often, and it's mind blowing each time. She'll even dance to set the mood."
Flashback Ends
"We're waiting." Gabriella announced bringing Troy back to reality.
"Well Mommy does look very beautiful as Princess Jasmine."
"Can I dress up in it?" Elizabeth asked.
"No!" Troy and Gabriella almost shouted knowing the outfit was not kid friendly.
"It's too big." Gabriella told her. "It'll fall right off of you."
"Oh, ok."
Coach Bolton parked the stroller and picked Lanai up. The baby gripped onto his shirt as they got in line. Coach Bolton was in front of Gabriella which gave Lanai a perfect view of her mother. They walked into a room that was designed to be like a movie theatre from the 1930's. Trailers from the movies that were featured on the ride were playing on the movie screen. Gabriella noticed the look on Lanai's face was the one she got when she was hungry. Gabriella got a bottle out of the diaper bag. Coach Bolton handed Lanai over to her. Gabriella held the bottle while Lanai drank from it.
Troy helped his mom and wife into the vehicle. Elizabeth was the first person in the row. She sat up on her knees. Coach Bolton kept an arm around her to make sure she wouldn't fall out of her seat. Gabriella sat Lanai in her lap.
"Is this a scary ride?" Elizabeth asked her grandpa.
"No, you'll like this ride." Coach Bolton answered. "There are movies you like on here."
"Like what?"
"I hear Mary Poppins and Mickey Mouse are on here somewhere."
Elizabeth smiled excitedly. She sat back when the ride began. Lanai tried to stand up on Gabriella's lap but Gabriella was not letting her. Lanai let out an angry cry out at not getting her away. Troy chuckled at seeing his wife's stubbornness already being displayed by their youngest daughter. Lanai gave another angry cry. She then reached out to Troy knowing he would do anything she wanted.
"Come here." Troy said picking her up.
Troy placed her on his lap. Gabriella smiled looping her arm through his Troy's and leaned her head on his shoulder. The first scene they went up was Gene Kelley from 'Singin' in the Rain'.
"It's real water." Elizabeth said.
"Baby, look who's coming up." Gabriella pointed.
"Mary Poppins!" Elizabeth exclaimed excitedly.
They soon found themselves in the classic London rooftops from 'Mary Poppins'. The Disney classic was a favorite of Troy and Gabriella's family. The car moved into the dark dangerous side of New York City. Elizabeth moved closer to her grandpa. The car stopped next to a bank.
"Hey Boss!" a gangster Audio-Animatronic called. "They're here!"
A human gangster came out from the bank with a gun in one hand and a bag of money in the other. Soon he was having a shoot out with members of an opposing gang. He the group's tour guide get out of the car so it could be his getaway vehicle. Just then the bank exploded terrifying both Elizabeth and Lanai. Both girls immediately wanted their mother. Elizabeth crawled over Coach Bolton while Lanai reached over from Troy's lap. Gabriella held both of the girls in her lap.
"Why is it that they always go to you when they're in tears?" Troy asked.
"Just wait until they're sixteen, that's when you'll be wanted by them." Gabriella explained.
"And then after I'm done comforting them, I'll be going after the creep who broke their heart." Troy stated.
Gabriella had to comfort the girls again through the 'Alien' scene. She covered both of their eyes when the aliens popped out every now and then. They then moved into a forest from 'Tarzan'.
"Look at the elephant, Mama." Elizabeth said.
After the return of their tour guide and the demise of the gangster, they found themselves in Munchkinland from the 'Wizard of OZ'. Troy pointed the Wicked Witch of East's feet sticking out from underneath Dorothy's house out to Elizabeth. Suddenly the Wicked Witch of the West appeared.
"Who killed my sister? Was it you?" she asked the guide.
"No, now be gone before someone drops a house on you!"
"Just try and stay out of my way, just try. I'll get you my little pretty and your little dog, too."
They witch did her iconic laugh before a red cloud appeared and cleared to show the witch had disappeared. Slowly, the munchkins began to appear telling them to follow the yellow brick road. As the car rounded the corner, Gabriella pointed out the beloved characters from the 'Wizard of OZ'.
"Mama, Toto!" Elizabeth exclaimed.
"Who's with him?"
"Dorothy!"
After the montage tribute to movies, everyone began to gather their belongings up. Troy picked Elizabeth up and followed his wife outside. As Gabriella placed Lanai in her stroller, the others were looking at the map to decide where to go next. Elizabeth latched herself onto her mother's leg. Gabriella smiled and patted her daughter's back gently.
"Babe, what time do we have to be at EPCOT?" Troy asked.
"Our reservations are at six." Gabriella answered. "I think we should leave her by five o'clock."
They all agreed to try and make the next showing of the Beauty and the Beast show. Before heading over, Gabriella made sure they had enough food for Elizabeth to munch on in case they didn't have time to grab something before she got too hungry. She also made sure there was another bottle for Lanai when she was ready for a nap.
"Ready?" Troy asked her.
"I think so." Gabriella agreed as they headed off.
