"¶¶" "¶ I was a girl in the village doing all right ¶" "¶ Then I became a princess overnight ¶" "¶ Now I gotta figure out how to do it right ¶" "¶ So much to learn and see ¶" "¶ Up in the castle with my new family ¶" "¶ In a school that's just for royalty ¶" "¶ A whole enchanted world is waiting for me ¶" " ¶ I'm so excited to be ¶ - ¶ Sofia the first ¶" "¶ I'm finding out what being royal's all about ¶" "¶ Sofia the first ¶" "¶ Making my way, it's an adventure every day ¶" "¶ Sofia ¶" " ¶ It's gonna be my time ¶ - ¶ Sofia ¶" "¶ To show them all that I'm Sofia the first ¶" "Where is everyone?" "Sorry I'm late for game night." "I was practicing derby and lost track of time." "Mm-hmm." "I guess the rest of the family lost track of time, too." "I'll go see what's holding your father up." "And I'll go find Amber and James." "Can our first game be Who Am I?" "I've been working on my Cedric impression." " "Merlin's mushrooms!" - ( laughing )" "Amber, what are you doing?" "It's game night, remember?" "Oh!" "I completely forgot." "I got so caught up redesigning my closet." "So what do you think of this?" "I want to install a mini-planetarium so I can look at the stars and choose a stylish outfit at the same time!" "Great idea, but Mom's waiting." "Right. ( gasps )" "Hold on." "My telescope can double as my hat rack." "I'll tell Mom you're coming in a bit?" "Yes, yes, I'll be right there." "Thanks, Sofia!" " Halt!" " Why?" "My knights are on a quest to rescue King Ashford, and you're about to smoosh the king." "Oh, sorry." "But it's great you're excited about playing a game, because Mom wants us all in the family room for game night." "This is no game, Sofia." "This is a brave and daring quest." "Can you tell Mom I'll be there soon?" "( sighs ) Sure." "Roland, are you ready for game night?" "Oh!" "Is it that time already?" "The royal builder and I are designing a new castle as a gift for the elves, and I've been having a blast making these turrets." "But it's game night." "Uh..." "Miranda?" "What is it?" "Would you mind if I quickly built the great hall?" "And then you'll come to game night." "As soon as I'm finished." "Oh, goody." "I guess they're not coming." "I guess not." "Sofia, can you remember the last time we all did something together as a family?" "Well, we had breakfast together today." "Oh, wait." "Amber was at an astronomy club meeting." "What about the all-kingdom tea yesterday?" "No." "Dad was interviewing a new court jester." "I guess it has been a while." "I mean, don't get me wrong." "I'm glad we all have hobbies and school and exciting jobs, but spending time together is important, too." "It would just be nice if we could all get some quality time as a family, away from our work and hobbies." "What if we go somewhere together, on a vacation?" "We could take a ski trip, or go boating." "Ooh!" "Or go to the royal elephant rain forest." "I've always wanted to see the flying elephants there." "That sounds fantastic, Mom." "I think so, too." "I'll book a trip right away." "This is just what the family needs." "Great idea, Sofia." "To the coach, everyone." "Our family vacation awaits!" "Yay!" "( gasps )" "We're taking the new cloud coaster?" "My engineers say it's a horseless, steam-powered dynamo." "But from the look of it, I agree." "Mom thought you'd wanna drive it." "And right you are, my queen." "I've been dying to take this baby out for a spin." "Oh." "Not so fast, you two." "Remember, we're going on a vacation to be together." "No distractions." "But without these, how do you expect us to have fun?" "By spending time with each other." "All right, fine." "Here." "Now then, is everyone ready?" "Just a few more pieces of luggage to pack, Your Majesties." " I hope we didn't over-pack." " Of course I did." "There!" "All set." "Have a wonderful trip, and drive safely, Your Majesty." "All right then." "Off we go!" "Hey, Dad, remind me, how long is this vacation again?" " Five days." " Which will be very relaxing." "It'll be fantastic." "Mother, um, what do you say we cut the vacation to... one night?" "I really wanna get back to my closet remodeling." "And my knights were just about to vanquish the dragons." "Come on." "We're going to have a great time together." "Did I tell you?" "We're going to see flying elephants." "Plus, this vacation brochure says there will also be macaws, ocelots, sloths even." "Doesn't that sound fun?" "Not as fun as an in-closed planetarium." "And we'll have our very own tour guide to show us the rain forests." "The lodge looks really fancy and luxurious." "And look, it comes with its own cruise boat." "A fancy lodge could be nice." "And a cruise boat sounds pretty okay, too." "This will be the best family vacation we've ever taken." "( squeals ) Can't wait." "Now let's kick in some extra flying horsepower" "( all yelling )" "Ooh, I think we're here." "Yes, the lodge should be coming up soon." "ROLAND:" "There it is." "It looks like a little... ( shudders ) wooden hut." "It probably just looks small from up here." "( all groan )" "Wasn't the lodge supposed to be fancy and luxurious?" "Well, yes, it does look much fancier in the brochure." "Perhaps it's rustic on the outside, but as grand as a castle on the inside." "Let's take a look." "Think that hole is supposed to be there?" "The brochure does say the lodge has very sunny rooms." "So there's that." "I think this is supposed to be the bedroom." "Oh, hammocks." "How quaint." "Huh?" "All our luggage is gone!" "Must've fallen out on the ride here." "But all my clothes..." "What am I going to change into for dinner?" "Come on, everyone." "We don't need fancy stuff and a million outfits" " to have a good time." " We don't?" "No." "The only thing we need is each other." "Your mother's right." "Why don't we go do something?" "Let's go on an adventure." "Great idea, Sofia." "That'll get us into" " the old vacation spirit, - ( wood creaking ) and out of this cabin." "Well, I am way ahead of you." "I booked us on Fabulous Freddy's Flying Elephant tour." "Our guide Freddy should be here any minute." " Sounds great." " Hey!" "What is it?" "It's a note from our tour guide." "Oh." "It looks like Fabulous Freddy is sick in bed, and can't take us to see the flying elephants today." "So what do we do?" "Stay here?" "Ugh!" "Do we have to?" "Wait." "He sent us a map of the rain forest." "Oh, and a whistle." ""For herding flying elephants."" "We can go on the flying elephant tour ourselves." "Why not?" "We'll take the raft" "I mean, the cruise boat." "Everyone, up and at 'em." "The first adventure of our family vacation is about to start." "What's everyone waiting for?" "Come on." "( Amber sighs loudly )" "I've been on this raft for an hour, and the only wildlife we've seen are mosquitoes." "Ouch!" "Oh!" "According to this map, the spider monkey refuge is right around here." "Spider monkeys." "That will be fun!" "If we see any." "My knights could be saving King Ashford right now." "( gasps ) Oh!" "A spider monkey!" "Let's dock and take a closer look." "Oh, look, Rolly." "Aw!" "You're a cute little fur ball, aren't you?" "That was not cute." "JAMES:" "Ambush!" "Hey!" "Back on the raft, everyone." "( monkeys screeching )" "Let's go!" "Those guys have good arms." "Hang on!" "Is everyone okay?" " SOFIA:" "Uh-huh." " JAMES:" "I guess." "If you don't mind smelling like mulberries." "I think we can handle having a few berries thrown at us, Amber." "Where to next, Sofia?" "It's kind of hard to say." "The map is covered with berry juice." "Just a suggestion, Miranda." "We've been out here for a while, we've seen some adorable spider monkeys." "What do you say we head back to the lodge for a little rest?" "Fabulous idea, Daddy!" "You can turn around right there." "Wait." "Where's your sense of adventure?" "Those monkeys were a little feisty, but that's no reason to turn back." "Mom's right." "I still really wanna see the flying elephants." "I do, too, so let's go find some." "After that, I promise, we can head back to the lodge." "I think that sounds like a reasonable plan." "As long as there are no spider monkeys, I'm in." "All right." "Fine." "It looks like the flying elephants live on the other side of Parrot Glade, which is just up ahead." "Pick up that paddle, Rolly." "Let's get to that glade." "All right, everyone." "Time to break in those hiking boots and start walking." "Trees, plants, no flying elephants." " Can we go now?" " ( squawks ) Can we go now?" "( laughing ) We're in Parrot Glade, all right." "Let's go this way." "PARROT:" "Let's go this way." "( squawking )" "Wait." "Which way?" "Miranda, which way did you go?" "Miranda, which way did you go?" "( squawk )" "Which way did I go?" "Which way did I go?" "( squawks )" "Now where did you go?" "Now where did you go?" "( squawks )" " ROLAND:" "Who, me?" " PARROT:" "Who, me?" " ROLAND:" "Hey, cut it out." " PARROT:" "Hey, cut it out." "I'm getting confused." "Mom, Dad!" "Whoa!" "Sofia!" "Mom!" "Dad!" "Whoa." "( straining )" "Oh, no." "My boots." "We all went in different directions." "I've got an idea." "Everyone head for that hill with the arch in the middle." "We'll meet up there." "( squawks ) Meet up there." " Oh, I see it." " Me, too." " On my way." " Coming." "( whistles ) Coming." "Oh, thank goodness." "I thought I'd be lost in there forever." "Like my boots." "The map says this is where the flying elephants should be." "We're not still going to sightsee, are we?" "Look at us." "We're a mess." "Not to mention shoeless." "Oh, I can fix that." "Wow." "These are really..." "Earthy." "Earthy." "Now, we're so close to finding the flying elephants." "Can't we just stay a bit longer?" "But I don't see any elephants, Miranda." "Why don't we use the whistle to call them?" "Right." "( blows whistle again )" "( sighs ) Still don't see any elephants." "Neither do I." " Back to the raft?" " Definitely." "Hold on." "Maybe we can spot them from the top of the hill." "I'll go take a look." "Be right back." "Oh, where are those flying elephants?" "I need to get this vacation back on track." "Whoo!" "I made it up here fine." "Now, elephants." "Elephants." "Ugh!" "Where are they?" "Let's try this again." "( trumpeting )" "Everyone run." "Stampede!" " Flying elephants!" " Guess Mom found 'em." " This way." "Come on!" " ( Miranda screaming )" "Everyone duck!" "SOFIA:" "Oh, our raft." "Now can we please end this awful vacation early, and go home?" "I must say, I second that plan." "I third it." "Oh, yes, okay." "We can go home." "But without the raft, how can we get back to the lodge?" "Well, I suppose we'll have to walk." "Walk?" "!" "Oh, could anything else go wrong on this trip?" "( thunder crashes )" "We need to find shelter before the rain comes." "That looks like a cave." "MIRANDA:" "Quick." "Let's go." "Oh, I'm getting soaked!" "This is why they call it the rain forest." "Come on." "We're almost at the cave." "At least it's dry." "Sort of." "It's dry enough to wait out the storm here." "And from the looks of it, we may have to wait all night." "Spend the night here?" "No, no, no." "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss that dusty old lodge." "( wind gusting )" "This vacation is a total failure." "I am so sorry I forced you all on this trip." "You didn't force us, Mom." "No, no, I did." "No one wanted to come, but I made you." "Now look at us." "( shivers ) I feel terrible for putting you all in this situation." "Wait!" "I know how we can warm up." "Let's build a campfire." "Excellent." "I'll gather some tinder." "I'll help, too, Dad." "I'll make us a seating area." "Even a cave can have decor." "Smoke." "We have an ember." " It worked!" " Nice job, Dad." "Mom, come over here and warm up." "Oh, that does feel good." "Why is everyone standing when you can all relax on your very own rock ottoman?" "Ah!" "I don't know about you guys, but I'm actually pretty comfy." " Me, too." " Not too shabby." "And look." "I think I have something for dinner." "And I have some berries for dessert." "So... since there's nothing else to do, anyone up for game night?" " Okay." " I guess." " Why not?" "Let's start with Who Am I?" "Oh, I have one." "Okay, who am I?" ""Let's make it work."" "Baileywick!" "Wow, that was spot-on." "( all laughing )" "I'll go next." ""Oh, jiggly wiggly pudding." "Great!"" " Dad!" " Daddy!" "( laughter )" "Ah, the rain finally stopped." "Well, let's head back to the lodge." "It's gonna be a pretty long trek without the raft." "Oh, no." "Look." "( trumpeting )" "What do we do?" "Run, obviously." "Wait." "Miranda, be careful." "( trumpeting )" "Hi." "I know I scared you last time." "I promise I won't do it again." "No whistle, see." "( trumpets )" "They're friendly." "Really." "I'm James." "Uh, nice to meet you." " ( trumpets )" " Whoa!" "Do you like berries." "Oh, that tickles." "( giggles )" "Hm." "You're a pretty magnificent fellow, when you're not stampeding us." "Since we're all friends now, do you think you could do us a favor?" "Like what?" "My family needs to get back to our lodge, but since we can't use our raft, would you maybe fly us there?" "Well, I don't know." "We had such a tough time in the rain forest, and we can really use the help." "Please." "Hold on." "Let me ask my family." "( all trumpeting )" "My family says..." "let's do it!" "Yay!" "Come on." "Climb aboard." " Whoa!" " ALL:" "Whoa!" "Looks like we're going for a ride." "Wow." "This is even better than the cloud coaster." "Somehow, this rain forest is so much better than yesterday." "I still can't believe we spent the night in a dark, dirty cave." "Oh, it wasn't that dark and dirty." "( laughs ) Okay." "Yes, it was." "But you know what." "It was still fun, because we were together." "¶ Our trip got off to a rocky start ¶" "¶ When we arrived at the lodge ¶" "¶ That looked like it would fall apart ¶" "¶ Then all our bags wound up getting lost ¶" "¶ And we survived the monkey tribe ¶" "¶ And their awful berry toss ¶" "¶ But oh, what a vacation ¶" "¶ At times, we wanted to give in ¶" "¶ But we braved the rough weather ¶" "¶ And got through it together ¶" "¶ Yes, we still made it through ¶" "¶ And had more fun than we ever knew ¶" "Look." "The lodge." "I suppose I should be happy to be going home, but I don't know." "Yeah, we never did see those hot springs." "And there's probably a lot more exotic animals to see." "Are you saying what I think you're saying?" "We'd like to stay." " Can we?" " Yes, can we?" "Well, that's okay by me." "I mean, that's fantastic by me." "Take us to the hot springs, please." "¶ At first, I thought that this would be a bore ¶" "¶ But the adventure we found ¶" "¶ Has made us want to stay for more ¶" "¶ Some bumps, a smidge of catastrophe ¶" "¶ Helped to remind us all ¶" "¶ That we love being a family ¶" "¶ And oh, what a vacation ¶" "¶ At times, we wanted to give in ¶" "¶ But we braved the rough weather ¶" "¶ And got through it together ¶" "¶ After all that we've been through ¶" "¶ We're having more fun than we ever knew ¶" "¶ After all that we've been through ¶" "¶ We're having more fun ¶" "¶ Having more, having more fun ¶" "¶ Than we ever knew ¶" "¶ Than we ever knew ¶" "SOFIA:" "I can't wait for our next family vacation, Mom."
