AN: I don't own anything but my OC characters and parts of the plot. Everything else belongs to its owners.
Twenty minutes later, we were at Epcot and were waiting to get through to our first stop. Which was lunch for the rest of us. It didn't take long to get through the checkpoint. When we got down, everyone grabbed a Food and Wine festival book.
"We'll do a couple of the booths today, but we need to eat," Elijah voiced.
"Where are we eating?" Leo asked.
"For lunch, we are eating at Yorkshire County Fish Shop," Klaus answered.
We headed over to the United Kingdom Pavilion before walking over to Yorkshire County Fish Shop and got in line.
"Welcome to Yorkshire County Fish Shop. What can I get for you?" a worker asked.
"Four orders of Fish & Chips and four bottles of water," Elijah ordered.
"Coming right up," the worker said.
She put the order in before telling us the amount, and Elijah paid. We waited for our food before getting condiments and finding a spot to sit and eat our lunch. The others joined us after they got their food.
"Where are we going after this?" Kyra asked as I squeezed some lemon juice on my fish before taking a bit of my fish.
"Well, we thought we shop in this area while Persephone finished naping," Finn answered.
"Then, we'll go and meet Alice," Elijah pointed out.
"And the rest will be told later," Klaus stated before we went back to eating.
After we were done eating, we headed to our first shop. The first United Kingdom shop was called 'The Tea Caddy.' We walked into the store and started to look around. I already picked up two personalized boxes of twinning Tea for Willow and me. Elijah and Buffy did the same for themselves and Giles. I also picked up two Tea Balls for Willow and me before looking around for some more tea items. I picked up a Lemon Delight Tea and a Nightly Calm tea before turning to find Cole with a stroller behind me.
"Are you done?" Cole asked.
"I am," I answered.
"Me too," Buffy said as she came over with her customized box of tea and a Tea Ball.
"As am I," Elijah replied as he walked over with two Tea balls, Chai Tea Box and an Earl Grey Tea Box.
"Let's go pay then," Cole stated before heading to the cashier desk.
We got into line and waited our turn before placing our items on the table. The cashier rang the items up before telling us the amount. Elijah paid as the cashier put the tea and accessories into bags before handing them over to us. After that, we headed next door to The Queen's Table.
When we walked in, we started to look around. It didn't take long to find something. We had bought 5 Quality Street boxes (Aurora, Willow, Buffy, Elijah, & Giles), 4 Shamrock Shortbread cookies (Aurora, Buffy, Giles, and Angel), and a lot of British candies (Cole).
"Where to next?" I asked as we headed out of the store and into the hot sunny weather.
"Lords and Ladies," Jenna said as her group and Kate's groups came over to us.
"I'll text Kyra and tell her," Kate said as she pulled out her phone.
We headed next door for our last shopping stop in the United Kingdom Pavillon.
We walked into Lords and Ladies before starting to look around. After a while of shopping, we had bought several plaid scarves & Pink Royalty shirt (me) and a 'The Royal Companion' Shirt for Persephone. But by the time we walked out of the store, Persephone had awoken from her nap. I got a bottle of formula out of her diaper bag.
"I'll take her to get changed," Elijah voiced as Persephone cried.
"Okay," I replied as I handed over the stroller to him before he walked away with Persephone.
"Where did Elijah and Persphone go?" Jenna asked as her and Kyra's groups joined Buffy, Cole and me.
"Diaper change," Cole answered as Kate and her group joined us.
"What are we doing?" Kate asked.
"Waiting for Persephone and Elijah. Persephone needed a diaper change," I responded as I warmed up the bottle of formula with my fire-power.
Ten minutes later, Elijah and Persephone were back, and it was time for a feeding.
"Can I feed her?" Rebekah asked.
"Of course," I answered.
I handed the bottle over before getting Persephone out of the stroller and handing her over to Rebekah. Rebekah fed her before burping her and was about to put her back in the stroller.
"Rebekah, wait, I think I just saw Alice heading to her spot. Why don't you hold her while we take pictures with her?" I suggested.
"Really?" Rebekah questioned.
"Yeah, I think she likes being out of her stroller," Cole voiced as we headed over to the area where Alice's meet and greet was.
We got into line and waited our turn. Twenty minutes later, we were in front of the line and were next to meet Alice.
"Aurora," Rebekah whispered as I looked over at them.
"Yeah," I responded as Persephone reached for me.
"I believe she wants you," Rebekah voiced as she handed Persephone over.
A couple of minutes later, our group was taking pictures with Alice. She also signed our Disney autograph book before Kate's group stepped up took pictures with her. My group headed out of the tea garden before I placed Persephone back into her stroller and did up the straps. We waited for the rest of our group to join us.
"So, where are we going next?" Leo asked as his group came over.
"We're going to the Popcorn in Canada stand," Jenna answered as her group joined us.
"Now, we're just waiting for Kyra and her group," Jeremy voiced as we waited for them.
"Let's go eat," Kyra said as her group walked over to us.
We headed over to the Canada Pallivon.
When we got into the Canada Pallivon, we headed for the popcorn stand and got into line. We looked at the menu as we waited our turn. A couple of minutes later, it was our turn.
"What can I get for you all?" A cast member asked.
"Can we get two Maple Popcorns and two regular popcorns?" Elijah answered.
"Of course, anything else?" the cast member questioned.
"Two Pand-Ades and two bottles of water," Elijah replied.
The cast member put our drink order before telling us the total. Elijah paid as the cast member got our order together. After the cast member was done, she gave us our order before giving Elijah the receipt. We headed off to find a spot to sit.
A couple of minutes later, we had found a spot to sit near Canada's stage. We started munching on our snacks as the others joined us before sitting down and eating their snack.
"What are we doing here in Canada?" Andy asked.
"We are watching the Canada Far & Wide before doing some more shopping," Jenna answered.
"But after that..." Andy responded.
"After that, we are trying some of the food & Wine Festival Booths," Jenna returned. "Before heading to the Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival and meeting a character." Jenna took a sip of her drink.
We continued eating and talking about Canada's Pallivon as music played from the stage.
Ten minutes later, we were done eating and were in line for Canada's Far and Wide. Fifteen minutes later, we were in the theatre and were being seated. It didn't take long for the show to begin. I looked over to Elijah to see Persephone in his lap before looking back at Canada's Far and Wide Show.
After the show, Persephone was back in her stroller as we headed to our first shop in Canada. When we got to the Trading Post, we split up and started to look around. It didn't take long before I found what I wanted to get for myself and others. We had bought Maple Cream Cookies for Giles, Maple Syrup for myself, a Beaver Plush, and a Black wolf with white Plush for Persephone. We headed out of the store and waited for the others.
"Where are we going next?" Leo questioned as he and his group came over.
"Northwest Mertanicle," Klaus answered as his group came over with Jenna's.
"Let's go," Rebekah voiced as we headed towards our last shop in Canada.
When we got to Northwest Mercantile, we walked in and looked around. Sometime later, we had bought dreamcatchers, a Canada Hockey Bear Plush, Mountie Bear Plush, a white bear Travel Bottle, and a Plaid Baby Onesie. We also got Canada Ears, Canada Mickey, and a 'Let's get Toasted' Night Top. After shopping, we stopped at Joffery's Coffee and Tea stand. We got coffee and Tropical Tea Breeze before heading to our first booth.
"Where are we going first?" Kyra asked.
"First, the Canada Booth and second the Appleseed Orchard Booth," Jenna answered as we got into line for the Canada Booth.
My group stepped up to the counter before we ordered.
"What can I get or you all?" a cast member asked.
"We would like one Canadian Cheddar & Bacon and two wild mushroom Beef Filet," Elijah ordered.
She put the order in before telling us the amount. Elijah paid before we headed to the pickup area. We picked up our order before finding a spot to sit. We sat down and tried our food. I dipped my pretzel bun into the soup before taking a bite. I moaned in delight as the taste touched my tongue.
"Good?" Kate questioned as she came over with the same soup.
"Very," I replied as Cole tried the soup.
"She's right," Cole said as he took a bit more of the soup and sipped it. "Mm..."
Everyone else joined us and ate their food before we headed to the Appleseed Orchard Booth.
We got into line and looked at the menu. I already found something I wanted. Ten minutes later, we were at the cashier's table and were ordering our next course.
"We would like two Apple Crumble Tarts, two Apple Chips, one Frozen Apple Pie and three Cinamon Apple Ciders," Elijah ordered.
The cast member did the order before Elijah paid, and she gave him a receipt. We headed to the pickup window and picked up the order before finding a spot to eat. Elijah and I cut the Apple Crumble tarts in half and shared them with Buffy and Cole. The others joined us as I took a sip of my Frozen Apple Pie drink.
"So, where to next?" Jeremy asked.
I sighed as I rolled my eyes at Jeremy's question.
"Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival," Rebekah told him as she cut her tart and shared it with him.
"Okay," Jeremy responded before taking a bite.
We went back to eating and talking about other things.
After eating, we headed to the Imagination Pallivon. It didn't take long before we got into line. Twenty minutes later, we sat down in the theatre before watching the pre-show and the Frozen Fever Short. After the short, we met and took pictures with Mickey before heading outside.
"Where to next?" Leo asked.
"To our dinner spot," Elijah answered as we headed to our dinner spot.
Ten minutes later, we were at the Refreshment Port. We got in line and looked at the menu as we talked amongst ourselves. A little while later, it was our turn to order.
"What can I get for you?" the cast member asked.
"We would like two Braised Beef Poutine, one Tradition Poutine, one Chicken breast Nuggets, and three Maple Boursin Cheesecakes," I ordered.
The cast member put the order in. This time I paid for the group. We headed over to the pickup window and waited for the order. It didn't take long for our order to be ready. We picked up our order before heading over to a group of tables. We sat down to eat as the others joined us with their food. We got down and started eating our dinner before snacking our dessert.
"Time to head back," Finn voiced as we got up and headed for the Skyliner.
We got onto the Skyliner and were headed to the terminal before getting on another Skyline. We were on our way back to the hotel. When we got back to the hotel, we headed back to our room. Elijah got Persephone's food ready before I grabbed a clean bib from the diaper bag.
"Daddy will be feeding you, Persephone," I told Persphone as I placed her bib on her before putting her on the highchair.
"Daddy has some yummy pureed Beans for you and some apple sauce for dessert," Elijah voiced as he sat down in front of her and started feeding her.
Persephone had her hands in her mouth before Elijah took them out and gave her a bit of her dinner. I walked into the bedroom.
I got undressed before putting on my PJs. I put my dirty clothes into my laundry bag. I took off my magic band put it on the table before taking off my hat and brushing my hair. I took my jewelry off but kept my Trinity necklace and Claddagh ring on. I put the jewelry and other accessories into their boxes before doing the same with my shoes. I grabbed Persephone's sleeper out of her luggage before heading out of the bedroom.
When I walked into the living room, I saw Cole now feeding Persephone, and Elijah wasn't in the room.
"Where's Elijah?" I asked.
"Giles called him. He had to take the call outside," Buffy said from the couch in her PJs.
Our watcher Giles was looking for us after we left Sunnydale. I know what we did was cruel that we didn't tell him or the gang we were okay, but we needed time after I killed Angel and Buffy getting kicked out of school.
"Okay," I replied as I sat down next to her before taking a sip of the rest of my Frozen Apple Pie drink.
"What should we watch tonight?" Cole asked.
"What about a Disney Nature Movie?" I suggested.
"Which one?" Buffy questioned.
"Just pick one," Cole responded as Cole started to feed Persephone the apple sauce.
By the time Elijah came back. It was for Persephone's bath, and it was Cole's turn to bathe her.
"Where's Cole and Persephone?" Elijah asked as he came back into the room.
"Bath time," I told him as I cleaned up Persephone's dinner mess.
"I'll go help him," Elijah said.
"Can you take the sleeper into the bathroom?" I asked him as I pointed to Persephone's sleeper for bed.
"I will," Elijah said as he grabbed the sleeper before kissing my cheek and heading into the bathroom.
I finished cleaning up Persephone's dinner before watching the bowl and spoon clean with soap and water. Buffy made her bottle before handing it over to me. She dried the bowl and spoon as I warmed up the bottle. Ten minutes later, Persephone was washed, dried, new diaper and a clean sleeper. We also started the teeth brushing as well with her.
"Who's feeding her tonight?" I asked.
"I will be," Elijah said as he took the warmed bottle in his hand before Persephone grabbed onto it and stuck it in her mouth.
I could tell Persephone was thirsty for her bottle as Elijah sang to her as she fed. I grabbed an animal board book from her bag after she was burped and told her the names of the animals as she or I pointed to them. She turned the page as we went.
"Someone's tired," I said as Persephone yawned. "Time for bed." I got up with her in my arms and headed to the bedroom.
When we got into the bedroom, I gave Persephone her soother before laying her down in the playpen. Elijah laid the blanket down on her before turning on the noise machine. Cole turned the light off as I took the baby monitor and headed out of the room with Elijah behind me. Buffy started the Disney nature movie that she picked before we sat down and watched. Two hours later, it was time for bed. Buffy and I headed to the bathroom to brush our teeth.
Buffy and I took turns brushing our teeth while the other talked.
"What do you Giles wanted?" Buffy asked.
"Probably wanting to know where we were or if Elijah had seen us," I answered.
I spit my toothpaste out before rinsing my mouth out and rinsing my toothbrush. I put my toothbrush and toothpaste back into the toiletries bag.
"I hate having Elijah or one of the others lying to him and the others," Buffy voiced as she started to brush her teeth.
"Me too, but it's for our protection," I told her. "I mean, we needed to get out of town after Kendra, you getting kicked out of school, aunt Joyce finding out, and me killing Angel."
Buffy quickly brushed her teeth before rinsing her mouth. We headed out of the bathroom to see her bed pulled down.
"Thank you, Elijah," Buffy said as she saw him near the bed.
"Your welcome and night, Buffy," Elijah replied as he took his hand in mine.
"Night," Buffy and I voiced.
Elijah and I walked into the bedroom before getting into bed with Cole. I turned over as Elijah's arm wrapped around me and fell asleep.
Time Skip
It was morning, and Persephone was getting fed her breakfast before we headed out to Epcot. I made up the bottles for the park before placing them into the diaper bag.
"Persephone, are you all done?" I asked as she pushed Buffy's hand away from her mouth.
"By the looks of it, she is," Buffy said as Elijah took the spoon and bowl away.
Cole cleaned her face as I got her baby toothbrush and paste.
"Persephone, open your mouth," I said as I showed her how.
She opened her mouth and laughed before I saw her first tooth for the first time.
"Elijah!" I yelled.
"What? What is it?" Elijah asked as he came into the room.
"She has her first teeth," I answered with a smile and picked her up in excitement. "She has her first tooth."
"Now, let's brush these teeth and her gums," Cole voiced as he took the toothbrush and paste from me.
He brushed her first teeth and gums before I placed her back in her stroller and did up the straps.
"Let's head out," Buffy voiced as she came over to us.
We headed out of the room before meeting up with the others at the Skyliner. We were off to Epcot.
When we got to Epcot, we headed to the Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie. We got into line and waited for it to open. We were late getting into the park today. It didn't take long for the dining location to open. We headed to look for what we wanted for breakfast. My group ordered first.
"What can I get for you?" A cast member asked.
"We would like the Croissant Jambon Fromage, two Croissant Amandes, a Pain au Chocolat, a Macarons Collection, two Jus D'Orange, and two Café," Elijah ordered.
The cast member got it together as Elijah paid. We picked up the order before finding seats to sit and eat our breakfast. A little while later, the others joined us with their order.
"What has you so excited about?" Kate asked.
"Persephone's first teeth have appeared," I voiced.
"That's amazing," Kyra voiced.
We got back to eating before heading out towards the Land Pallivon.
When we got to the Land Pallivon, Persephone was asleep for her morning nap.
"What's our first ride?" Andy asked.
"Soaring," Elijah answered.
"Who's staying with Persephone while she naps?" I asked.
"I will be," Klaus voiced.
"Are you sure?" Kyra questioned.
"Of course. Go have fun," Klaus answered before kissing her cheek and taking the stroller from me.
We headed got into line for Soaring.
A half-hour later, we were in front of the line and were waiting our turn on Soaring. The group before us was let off as we had watched the pre-show before heading into the room. We took our seats and buckled ourselves in. After everyone was buckled in, we were off on a soaring journey.
After the ride, we met up with Klaus and Persephone. Klaus was feeding her a bottle of formula.
"How was the ride?" Klaus asked.
"It was fun," Rebekah voiced.
"We saw many places as we soared over them," Finn answered.
"What are we going on next?" Leo asked.
"Awesome Planet," Jenna answered.
"Who's staying with Persephone this time?" Elijah questioned.
"I am, this time," Cole voiced as he took Persephone from Klaus. "Go have fun." He kissed my cheek before heading over to the line and got in.
An hour later, it was our turn in the theatre. The group before us were let out before we headed in and got into our seats. It didn't take long before the theatre darkened. Moments later, the show began and we were seeing our planet.
After the ride, we met up with Cole and Persephone.
"Last ride in the Land Pallivon is Living with Land before lunch," Klaus voiced as we headed over to stroller parking.
We parked our stroller and put a protection spell over it before heading to the line. We got into line and waited our turn. An hour later, it was our turn on the ride. I had Persephone on my lap as Elijah was on one side of me, and Cole was on the other with Buffy. Kate, Leo, Finn, and Kol were behind us. Kyra, Andy, Klaus and Jenna were in the row behind him, while Rebekah and Jeremy were in the row behind them with other people. A couple of minutes later, we were off on the Living with the land journey.
After the ride, we got back to the stroller before heading to the Garden Grill for lunch. We checked in and were waiting for our tables to be ready. Ten minutes later, our tables were ready for us before we were shown to them. When we got to the tables, Elijah helped Persephone into the highchair at the table. We sat down and ordered our drinks.
"I would like water," I voiced.
"Me too," Cole voiced.
"I'll have the Frozen Lemonade," Buffy ordered.
"I'll have a glass of Red Sangria," Elijah ordered.
The cast member left to put our drink orders in as we waited for our family-style food to arrive. Cole pulled Persephone's pureed food out before warming it and started feeding her as she opened her mouth.
"What are we doing after this?" Jeremy asked.
"Well, we're going to enjoy some more booths before shopping at ImageWorks," Jenna answered. "And then eat at some more booths."
"What booths are we eating at today?" Rebekah asked.
"We are doing Earth Eats, The Noodle Exchange before ImageWorks, then Shimmering Sips and Australia," Elijah answered as our family-style food arrived. "For dinner, we're eating at Hawaii Booth and the Swanky Sauce Swine Booth."
"Are we doing any more rides or attractions today?" Andy asked as we dug into our food.
"We are doing the Seas with Nemo and Friends and looking at the aquarium in the World Nature Pallivon," Finn answered.
We stopped eating as the characters came by our table. We took pictures with Chip and Dale, Pluto and Goofy before they headed off to another table. We went back to eating as Persephone banged on the table for some more food. Cole gave her a bit more before she was done eating.
A half-hour later, Persephone had been put down for her afternoon nap. While we headed to our next eating place, some of our group were still hungry and watching to try some more cuisine. We headed to Earth Eats and looked at the menu before getting into line.
"What can I get for you all?" A cast member asked.
"We would like one Impossible Slider, one Impossible Three Bean Chili, and two Spiced Apple Twinings of London Chai Tea," Elijah ordered.
Elijah paid before heading to the pick-up window and grabbing our order. We headed to a group of tables before Elijah and Cole walked away and headed to The Noodle Exchange.
"So, what do you of your tea?" Buffy asked as she cut the Impossible Slider in half before giving me half.
"It tastes very good," I answered after taking a sip of my Spiced Apple Twinings of London Chai Tea.
"Can I try?" Buffy asked before taking a bite of the slider.
"Of course," I responded as I slid my drink over and took a bite of my half of the Slider.
"Mm... You're right. This is good," Buffy voiced as Elijah and Cole walked over with noodle bowls.
"What did you get?" I asked them.
"I got the Traditional Spicy Vietnamese Beef Pho with Shaved Beef, Enoki Mushrooms and Thai Basil," Elijah answered.
"And... I got the Shrimp and Coconut Curry Rice Noodles with Shiitake Mushrooms and Thai Basil," Cole told us as they sat down and ate with us.
The rest of our group joined us with food choices. We ate our after-lunch food before getting up with our drinks and heading off to our first shopping spot of the day.
We walked over to ImageWorks and headed in before looking around. Elijah had the stroller with a sleeping Persephone inside as I looked around. I found a shirt for Persephone that she would have to grow into.
"Found something?" Cole asked.
"A shirt for Persephone. She'll have to grow into it," I said as I showed it to him.
"I'll go pay for this. While you look around," Cole voiced as I headed deeper into ImageWorks.
I found some personalized Pictures that I would like to do when Persephone is awake to do them.
"Found something to do?" Elijah questioned as he came over.
"Yeah, but after Persephone is awake," I voiced.
"Good idea," Elijah said as he looked at the pictures.
We headed over to interactive areas and had some fun. Cole and the others came over joined us. Then we walked out of the store before heading to Shimmering Sips for our next round of booths.
When we got to Shimmering Sips, we looked at the menu before getting into line. Twenty minutes later, we were in the front of the line. We were waiting for the group in front of us to be done ordering. A couple of minutes later, we were at the cashier desk and starting to order.
"What can I get for you all?" a cast member asked.
"We would like two Shimmering Strawberry Soft-serve in a Waffle Cone, two Banana Bread with Mixed Berry Compote..." Elijah ordered. "And two CORKCICLE Stemless Flute."
The cast member put the order before telling us the amount. Elijah paid before being given a receipt and headed to the pick-up area. We grabbed our order. Buffy and I put our Corkcicle Stemless Flutes into our bags before helping Elijah and Cole with our treats. We headed over and found a seat before Elijah and Cole cut the banana bread with Mixed Berry Compote in half. Buffy and I ate our soft serve ice cream before joining the boys and eating our halves of the Banana bread. The others joined us with their food.
After eating our treats, we headed for the Australia booth before reading the menu and getting into line. Thirty minutes later, it was our turn to order.
"What can I get for you?" A cast member asked.
"We would like two Deconstructed Pavlova, a Roasted Lamb Chop and a Grilled Sweet and Spicy Bush Berry Shrimp," Elijah ordered.
The cast member put the order before telling the amount. Elijah paid before he was given the receipt. We headed over to the pickup area and picked up our order before finding another spot to sit with our food. We found a group of tables where we could eat as the others joined us.
"What did you get, Aurora and Buffy?" Kyra asked.
"We got the Deconstructed Pavlova with Pastry Cream, Citrus-macerated Berries and Lemon Myrtle Meringue," Buffy answered.
Buffy and I dug into our deconstructed dessert and started eating as the others dug into their foods.
After eating at the Australia booth, we headed to the Port of Entry to pick up our Hide & Squeak maps and do a little shopping. When we got there, we split up and looked around. Twenty minutes later, we had bought a Food and Wine Festival Tray, a Remy Food and Wine Manget, and a Belle Top for Persephone. Each room group bought a Remy's Hide & Squeak map before leaving the Port of Entry.
Just as we were leaving the Port of Entry, Persephone woke up crying.
"Persephone is up and ready for a diaper change," I said as I headed over to the closest bathroom with changing table.
When I got into the bathroom, I changed her diaper before washing my hands and picking her up. I put her back into the stroller before heading out of the bathroom. I found the others near Disney Traders before warming up a bottle of formula for her. Cole took the bottle from me before taking Persephone out of the stroller to feed her.
"She's all changed and now is being fed," Cole voiced before saying. "You all go shopping. I'll join you when she's done."
I kissed his cheek before joining the others as they headed into Disney Traders.
When I walked into Disney Traders, Elijah joined me as I looked around for something I might like to buy. Fifteen minutes later, we were done shopping. We purchased an extra small 'I'm just here for the snacks' shirt, a Belle onesie, an Aurora onesie, a 'My First Visit Hat' and plenty of pressed pennies. We headed out of the store where Cole and Persephone were heading towards us.
"Already done? We were just about to join you," Cole said.
"Yep, all done," Kate answered as she came up behind us.
"Where to next?" I asked.
"We are heading to the Nature Pallivon," Finn answered as Kyra and Jenna's groups joined us.
We headed off towards the Nature Pallvion.
When we got to the Nature Pallivon, we walked in and headed straight for the stroller parking before getting into line for the Seas with Nemo and Friends. Thirty minutes later, we were waiting for our shell to arrive. Moments later, it was our turn. Elijah and I got on with Persephone as Cole and Buffy got on the Shell behind us. Kate and Leo were together, Kyra and Andy were together, and Jenna and Kol were in one. Klaus and Finn were in one, and Rebekah and Jeremy were in another. We were off into the world of Nemo.
After the ride, we got the stroller back before enjoying what else the Nature Pallivon had to offer. We talked with Crush, took pictures with Bruce and saw marine life in the aquariums before heading to SeaBase Gifts for some shopping. We had bought a squirt plush for Persephone and didn't find anything else that we wanted to get. We walked out of the store and waited for the others to join us.
"Where to next?" Kate asked.
"We are going on Journey to Imagination with figment," Finn answered as he looked at his phone.
"Then to have some fun in ImageWorks interactive area and get personalized pictures done," Klaus voiced as his group came over.
"Let's head over," Elijah responded as he took the stroller.
We headed off to our next destination.
When we got to the ride, we put our stroller in stroller parking before putting the protection spell on it. I had Persephone in my arms as we got into line. Thirty minutes later, we were in front of the line and were waiting for our ride vehicle. Moments later, Cole, Persephone and I got on the ride vehicle. We were off on a journey into the imagination.
After the ride, we got into a line to meet Vanallope from Wreck-it Ralph before doing some of the interactive stuff around ImageWorks. Elijah came back with the stroller before heading off to do some Personalized Photos. We did 6 pictures each before paying for them and getting them printed off.
"Where to now?" Rebekah asked as I placed Persephone back into the stroller.
"We are heading to get some food before heading back to the hotel," Jenna answered.
"Where?" Jeremy asked.
"The Hawaii Booth and the Swanky Sauce Swine Booth," Cole answered.
We headed out of ImageWorks before heading towards the booths.
When we got to the first booth, we looked at the menu before walking to the line and getting in. Fifteen minutes later, we were at the cashier's table ordering.
"What can I get for you all?" A cast member asked.
"We would like two of the Kālua Pork Slider, two of the Tuna Poke and four of the Passion Fruit Cheesecake," Elijah ordered.
The cashier put the order before telling Elijah the amount. Elijah paid before we headed to the pickup area and got our festival books stamped for our cheesecakes. We headed to find a spot to eat.
We found a spot to sit before eating our order from the first booth as the others joined us.
"So, you got the Passion Fruit Cheesecake too," Kyra voiced.
"Well, it is on Emile's Montage," Buffy voiced as I continued to eat Kalua Pork Slider that I ordered.
We continued eating what we ordered before heading to our next booth for part 2 of our dinner.
When we got to the booth, we looked at the menu before walking into the line and waiting our turn. Twenty minutes later, we were next to order. We walked up to the cashier's desk and ordered.
"Hi, we would like the Soy-glazed Sticky Ribs, two of the Roasted Porchetta, one of the Crispy Pig Ear Salad, and four of the Crispy Barbecue Pork Rinds," Cole ordered.
The cast member put the order in before telling him the amount. Cole paid before we headed to the pick-up window. We picked up our order before getting our books stamped for the Crispy Barbecue Pork Rinds. We headed off and found Kyra's group at a table with their food from the Swanky Sauce Swine.
"Got the same order," Kyra voiced as she nodded to my soy-glazed Sticky ribs.
I nodded before chowing down on the ribs. Kate and Jenna's groups joined us a bit later before they chowed down on part 2 of dinner. After eating, we wiped our hands and faces before heading to the Skyliner. We got onto the Skyliner and headed back to the hotel.
Fifteen minutes later, we were back in the room. Elijah was getting Persephone's dinner ready as the rest of us took turns showering before getting dressed in our Pjs. When I got back into the room, Elijah was feeding Persephone her dinner, Buffy was on her laptop, and Cole was his. I walked into the bedroom and grabbed my laptop and charger before joining the others. I walked back out and sat next to Buffy. She was watching a Disney short.
"So, who's turn to bath Persephone?" Elijah asked.
"My turn," I replied as I looked up before turning on my laptop and plugging in the charger.
I pulled up the website that I had made for my business. I got to work on the page people would first see. Ten minutes later, it was time for Persephone's bath. I picked Persephone out of the high chair before heading to the bathroom. Cole came in with her sleeper before helping me get the water right for her. I undressed her before taking off her diaper and put her into the bathtub seat. I bathed her before taking her out and drying her off. Cole put on her diaper before putting her sleeper on.
"Time for a yummy bottle, huh, miss. Persephone," I voiced as I talked to my daughter as we headed out of the bathroom.
We walked into the living room before Elijah handed me her bottle. I took it as Persephone grabbed onto the bottle stuck it into her mouth before starting to suck. I sang her a little lullaby as she drank her bottle down before reading her story about a mouse and a cookie. I burped her before getting up and heading back into the bedroom. I gave her soother before laying her down in the playpen and putting her blanket down.
"Night, my love. May your dreams bring you happiness," I whispered as I turned on the noise machine before heading out of the room.
When I walked into the living room, I opened my laptop and got back to work on the website. Three hours later, it was time for bed. Buffy and I brushed our teeth first before getting out of the bathroom.
"Night, Aurora," Buffy said.
"Night," I replied before walking into the bedroom.
I got into bed and waited for the boys. Five minutes later, the boys joined me before I went to sleep.
A Giant Time Skip...

When we walked through the main entrance of Epcot, we saw Mickey, Minnie and Pluto. They were taking pictures with everyone. We got to line for each of them and took pictures with them before heading to finish up Remy's Hide & Squeak. It didn't take long for us to finish it as we had done most of it after we got it. We took our finished maps and got our prizes before Persephone went down for her morning nap. While Persephone napped, we did the American Adventure before looking around the American Pallivon. Persephone had awakened before we went to American Heritage Gallery. She had needed a diaper change and bottle before we headed into the Gallery.

After eating dinner, we headed out of the restaurant with the group to find a good spot for Harmonious. We found a spot to stand and watch the show. We talked for hours until the show started. After the show, we headed to the cars and drove back to the hotel. Buffy and I headed back to our rooms, showered, packed everything we unpacked and went to bed.
Today is Checkout Day.
A*
I closed my journal before putting it into my carry-on. I looked over to see Persephone drinking her after-nap bottle as I joined Buffy and Cole to make sure everything was ready to go.
"Is everything ready to go?" Elijah asked as he fed Persephone her last spoon full of cereal.
"Yeah, everything is ready and on the luggage cart," I answered as I placed my carry-on over my shoulder.
"Okay," Elijah said as he gave the spoon and bowl over to Cole to wash up before he wiped Persephone's face clean.
After he wiped her face, I picked Persephone out of the highchair and placed her stroller before doing up the straps.
"Ready to go," Buffy voiced as we headed out of the room one last time.
After we left the room, we headed for the main lobby. The girls, Jeremy, Andy, Leo, Kol, Cole and I headed to the Ink & Paint Shop. Jenna, Finn, Elijah, and Klaus headed to check out with the luggage cart. We walked into the store and started to look around. It didn't take long before I found something.
"Found something," Kyra asked as she held the same shirt.
"Yeah," I answered as I looked for my size in the shirt before finding it.
I continued to look around as I pushed the stroller.
A half-hour later, we were done shopping and had paid for them. We headed outside and waited for the cars. Buffy and I bought Art of Animation Shirts, Art of Amination Mugs, Art of Animation Pressed Pennies, an Ink & Paint Ears, a Special Moments Eva Puzzle, Skyliner Socks, an Art of Animation Photo Frame, Art of Animation Ornament, and a Sleeping Beauty Book Journal.
"What did you buy?" Kate asked.
"A lot of Art of Animation products and I got a new journal," I answered.
"Me too," Kate responded.
"Me as well," Kyra voiced.
"What was yours?" I asked.
"I got the Cinderella Book journal," Kate answered.
"I got the Snow White Book Journal," Kyra responded before asking. "You?"
"I got the Sleeping Beauty Book Journal," I replied.
"That matches your name," Kate said.
"Yeah, I guess it did," I returned as the cars drove up to us.
Buffy and I put our bags into souvenir luggage bags before closing them up. Cole got out before getting Persephone situated in her car seat.
"Go and get in. I'll put the stroller in," Cole told us.
"Okay," Buffy and I responded before getting into the car and doing our seatbelts.
He put the stroller in the trunk and closed the trunk door before he put Persephone's sunscreen down before closing the door. He got into the passenger seat, and we were off to Disney Springs.
Twenty minutes later, we were at the lime garage. Elijah got Persephone's stroller and diaper bag out as I got Persephone out of the car seat. After Elijah got the stroller set up, I placed Persephone into the stroll before doing the straps.
"Where are we eating brunch?" Jenna asked.
"We are having brunch at Wine Bar George," Finn answered.
We started our way to Wine Bar George.
When we got there, we checked in and waited. A little while later, we were shown our tables by a waiter. The waiter gave us our menus before leaving. We looked at the menus in front of us.
"What can I start you with?" a waiter asked as he arrived at our table.
"I would like water," I answered.
"Me too," Buffy voiced.
"Me as well," Cole replied.
"That would be four glasses of water," Elijah stated.
"What about for appetizers?" the waiter asked.
"I would the Crispy Mac & Cheese Bites," I voiced.
"I would like the same," Cole answered.
"Me too," Buffy voiced.
"Are you ready to order your entrees?" the waiter asked as he wrote the appetizers down.
"I believe, we are," Elijah answered as he looked up. "I would you like the Eggs Benedict."
"I would like the French Toast with Chicken Sausage," I ordered.
"I will have the Wine Country Omelet," Cole voiced.
"I will have the Sausage Gravy and Biscuits with two eggs," Buffy responded.
"Okay, I'll be back with your waters and appetizers," the waiter said as he put our entrees on the order pad.
Twenty minutes later, our waters and appetizers were here. We ate our appetizers before our entrees arrived. We started into them as Persephone dropped her toy on the ground. Cole reached down and picked it up before giving it back to her. Cole dug back into his omelet, and we continued eating.
An hour later, it was time for Persephone's lunch. Elijah was feeding her pureed chicken and rice as we ate our desserts. Buffy, Cole and I got key lime pie. Fifteen minutes later, she was done eating, and Elijah was paying for brunch. After Elijah paid and left a tip, we headed to the baby center to change Persephone's diaper. Another fifteen minutes later, Persephone was down for her afternoon nap, and we were heading out for our first stop.
"Where are we going?" Jeremy asked.
"The Art Corner," Klaus answered.
We headed over to the Art Corner.
When we got to the Art Corner, we headed in and started to look around. We saw many art opportunities that had there. Jeremy, Kate, Kyra, Klaus and I headed straight for the art kits and sketchbooks that we saw.
"What can I get for you all?" a man asked as he came over.
"I don't know about them, but I need some sketchbooks. I finished the two sketchbooks and a new art kit," I answered.
"I need the same," Kate said.
"Met too," Kyra and Jeremy voiced.
"I just need two sketchbooks and sketch pencils," Klaus answered.
The man got what we wanted before we headed to the cashier desk.
"Is this separate or together?" the man asked.
"It's together," Klaus answered before one of us could speak.
Klaus paid for the sketchbooks and art kits. After that, we headed out of the store.
"Where are going next?" Rebekah asked.
"Disney's World of Memories," Jenna answered.
We headed over to the next store.
When we got to World of Memories, we walked in and headed to the Hats. We looked for graduation Hats and picked up 14 graduation hats, but Elijah, Klaus and Finn had three extra for some reason.
"Here, we'll get these done, go get something to eat," Elijah said as he took mine and Willow's from me.
We headed out of the store.
"Where should we go?" Kate asked.
"Let's go to Ghirardelli Soda Fountain," Kyra suggested.
We headed over to Ghirardelli Soda Fountain.
When we got to the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain, we got into line. We looked at the menu before it was our turn to order.
"What can I get for you ladies?" a worker asked.
"I would like the Magical Sundae," I answered.
"I would like the Frozen Hot Cocoa," Kate responded.
"I will have the Sea Salt Caramel Banana Shake," Kyra voiced.
"I want a Medium Chocolate Lover's Shake," Buffy said.
"I will have the same," Rebekah replied.
After we ordered, Rebekah paid before we got our treats. We headed outside to eat our treats.
An hour and a half later, the boys had found us. They were holding the embroidered hats. They were also holding Gideon's bakehouse bags.
"Time to go," Elijah said as we got up and were headed back to the lime garage.
When we got back to the cars, Persephone was still asleep in the stroller. We put the bags into the car before getting Persephone situated in the car seat and closing the door. Elijah put the stroller back in the trunk as Buffy, Cole and I got into the car and did our seatbelts before Cole and I closed the doors. Elijah got back into the car and started it. We were off to our next hotel.
