"I will bring out those drinks. Please remember, the characters will come to your table; no need to follow them around. They will come by sometime during your meal." Alicia, the waitress for our meal, smiles.

"Thank you!" Harry says while smiling widely. Alicia leaves the table and makes her way to the back to gather the drinks.

"Mum, do you think we will see Mary Poppins? I loved her last time." Grace says across the table.

"Mary Poppins talks like us!" Ethan says with a smile.

"That's right. She is from England! I'm not sure who we will see Grace. But that's part of the fun, I think." You reply.

"Like a big surprise." Harry's eyes widen as if he just said something exciting.

"I'm hungry. Can we eat?" Six year old Ethan states as his tummy begins to rumble under his floral button down; he gets his style from his father.

"Yes! Let's go get some food." Harry stands from his seat, pushing in his chair before helping Penny scoot out of hers. "I'll help Squirt get some food; do yeh want to take Bug and Stud?" You nod your head and start to make your way behind Ethan and Grace as they make a mad dash towards the food.

"Want 'icky awfuls." Penelope wraps her hand around two of Harry's fingers, leading the way towards the area filled with all different kinds of breakfast foods.

"Mickey waffles? Not pancakes?" His voice is higher pitched as he takes the piss out of his daughter who doesn't think he is very funny.

"Icky awfuls, pwease." Her sweet three year old voice melts Harry into a puddle, and he leads her towards the area filled with delicious smelling waffles. Penelope releases her father's fingers, and he grabs one plate and a bowl, filling the plate with a waffle that is shaped like Mickey's face.

"Should we get some fruit?" He asks his daughter.

"Staw-babies!!" Penny stands on her tippy toes and points to the beautiful red berries.

"Oh I love a good strawbaby!" Harry places a few of the plump berries on Penny's plate, and begins to fill his bowl with yogurt, fruit and granola.

"Daddddddy." Penny pulls on Harry's striped trousers, and he feels her move behind his leg, almost as if she is hiding.

"Squirt? Wha's the matter?" Harry looks down at his daughter, her eyes wider than sliced oranges.

"Wook....." Her tiny yellow painted finger points towards a beautiful woman with red hair and a light blue dress that sparkles in the light. "Air-we-all." She gasps, shocked at the princess that is having a conversation with a little boy at a table that is next to the buffet.

"Penny!!!" Grace runs towards her sister, the unexpected squeal making Penny jump slightly. "I see Ariel!! Daddy, I'll go tell her to come talk to Penny." Grace starts to walk towards the princess.

"Stop right there, Grace. Let her talk with the other kids first. When it's our time, she will come." Grace's face and shoulders fall as if her father stole the excitement out of the sky and threw it in the trash.

"Okay." She says quietly, making her way back to her plate to finish filling it up with pancakes and eggs.

"Air-we-all boo-ti-ful, daddy." Penny creeps her body around his leg, her eyes glued on her favorite princess in the world. "I lob her."

"I love her too, Squirt." Harry chuckles softly at his daughter who is currently experiencing the same thing he did the first time he met Stevie Nicks. SHOCK. "Want anythin' else, love?" Harry asks, attempting to distract her. Penelope just shakes her head slowly. "Okay, Squirt. Let's go eat and then Ariel will come visit. Okay?"
