Last morning at the bus stop!
Castle view!
We started at the Tomorrowland Speedway--Megan especially LOVED driving.
Brookie tried her hand at it but had more fun riding around.
Then to the Buzz Lightyear ride. Not nearly as fun as Toy Story Mania, but still enjoyable :)
While we waited for Dan on Space Mountain we got to meet Lilo. Not our favorite character, but the lighting was great!
And outside the teacups, we met the very late bunny.
Teacups!
After our crazy fun week, the kids were starting to wear down...but we still had fun! The kids liked this little slide area near the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. We took turns riding rides and staying there with the kids. We also let the kids pick their own souvenirs (with a budget around $20). Megan and Brooke each picked a princess shaped piggy bank (Ariel and Aurora) and we got Candy a little set of squishy plastic princesses that she loves.
One more round with the princesses...
Classic Disney photo--so sweet.
We went to the afternoon parade that day and Megan was DESPERATE to see Ariel up close. This was as close as we got, but this wave was right at Megan and she was SO happy.
Daddy and his girls...
A photo of just Dan and I--we were exhausted but had such a great time!
The kids were WIPED!
Our last glimpse of the Magic Kingdom--"See Ya Real Soon!"
And that would have been an awesome end to the trip. But unfortunately we ended with a bit of a fiasco. We wanted to see the Fantasmic show at Hollywood Studios. We took the bus over there for the show and as soon as we arrived, we hit some roadbumps. I realized that after 5 days of keeping track of 3 kids, our big stroller, our little stroller, a backpack, a camera bag, a cell phone, and a purse, I had left my purse on the bus! AARGH! I was a little (a LOT) upset. Dan spent some time with security trying to track down the bus, but once the bus had pulled away, they had no way to find it down til closing time that night (after midnight). And THEN--the Fantasmic show was cancelled due to high winds. Double bummer. Dan was a trooper and helped me calm down and we wandered around Hollywood Studios for an hour or so enjoying the animation studios before calling it a night. Thankfully, this part of the story ended well. About a week after we got home, I received a call from Disney saying they had found the purse intact and would mail it to me (minus the cash in it which would be sent in the form of a check). I love Disney.
Even with that last night, we LOVED our trip. We loved making memories with our little kiddos and just enjoying being together. We can't wait to go again!
We drove home on Saturday, Dan's 33rd birthday, making the whole drive in one day. The kids slept a lot and did great.
