Last Day

Saturday morning we had to wake up, pack up and check out of our room.  It is always so bittersweet to leave any vacation.   But since our flight wasn't until 7:45 at night we still had most of the day to play at Magic Kingdom!!

Some last minute pics I didn't take earlier of the room and bathrooms.

Sweet Lily is sad to leave.

The entrance to the building where our room was.

Time for last shots in front of the castle!!

We had breakfast (waffles) by the castle.

It was a crowded day.  Probably the busiest yet -- but it was Saturday.  We had three fast passes -- for the Mine Train, Haunted Mansion and Autopia.  Plus the three extra ones which we used for Buzz, Peter Pan and Autopia again!!  All the best rides on our last day -- plus we got to also go on Small World and the Peoplemover!

 Dani's last spin on the Minetrain!

One last churro

Outside the Rapunzel bathroom area. 

Since it was crowded and we did all our "must dos" for the day, we decided to go to the Carousel of Progress.  I wanted to do this last year, but we didn't have time.  I vaguely remember it from when I was little at Disneyland,  but I mostly remember my mom talking about how much she loved it.

I don't think it has changed since my mom last went on it. It was awesome.

Lunch overlooking the castle!

One final spin around the Tomorrowland Speedway track.

(I sure hope so!!)

Back at the hotel waiting for the bus to the airport.

The little traveler back in Dallas.  Shockingly after that busy week, busy day and late flight.  Both girls stayed awake the whole flight!!

Magic Kingdom Friday

We started Friday morning off at a meeting for the Disney Vacation Club.  We thought we'd check it out considering we just technically visited Disney World twice in one year.  The girls had fun playing at the kids club, we got free breakfast, ice cream, a $50 gift card and three extra fast passes for any rides we wanted.  It was awesome.  The Vacation Club wasn't for us.  We couldn't do the math to make it make sense for us, but it was still worth the hour of our time with all the freebies we got!!

Free ice cream at Disney is the best ice cream!!  :)

After we headed back for our last full day at the Magic Kingdom.  Our first stop was "Enchanted Tales with Belle" where the audience gets to reenact the Beauty and the Beast story and meet Belle.  Lily got chosen to be the Beast and Dani was Chip.  It was SO cute!!

Lily the Beast first meeting and scaring Belle 

Then the enchanted friends came out to act out their part in the story of how Belle and the Beast fell in love.  Dani was supposed to jump and bounce as Chip and she played the party perfectly.

Then Belle and the Beast fall in love and dance to celebrate:

Cast precession.  

It was the best show ever, if I do say so myself!!

Dork

We managed to get two coveted Mine Train popcorn buckets, which are apparently collectors items and filled with popcorn -- which is what was really important to my family.

Chip and I took turns riding Space Mountain.  So the girls got to play around in Tomorrowland . . . and eat popcorn.

I lost track of how many time we rode the Peoplemover.

Same with the Autopia -- we rode that a lot too!

We went back to the Liberty Tree for lunch.  

Ooey, Gooey Toffee Cake.  This is the real reason I went back to Disney World.  BEST dessert ever.

Again, with the Haunted Mansion.  Are you noticing a pattern here??

Since the girls (especially Lily) loved the Haunted Mansion so much, we went into the Haunted Mansion store to look for souvenirs (we have enough Princess stuff!).  You could get these "Spirit" prints -- a lenticular print that changes at different angels.  The girls both wanted one.  They will make perfect Halloween decorations!

Creepy!!

The backside of water!

Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse

Since we had literally been on all the rides we wanted to -- most more than once.  I wanted to check out some random stuff that there isn't always enough time for -- like the Hall of Presidents.  It is a movie about the most famous and historic presidents and important times in America's history,  Then all the presidents in the history of the US appear in animatronic form! Lily has never been so bored.

NO wait for Small World.  We literally walked right on.  The benefit of seeing all the parades and fireworks already!!  We weren't necessarily planning on staying until closing (9pm) again, but when all the rides had zero wait Friday night we couldn't leave!!!

Then we went on the Ariel ride again and went to meet Ariel.  It was my favorite princess encounter yet.  Ariel was hilarious!

She couldn't help but play with Dani's hair, which is pretty normal.  Everyone wants to touch it.

But then she made it into a mustache!!!

Crazy mermaid!

In front of Ariel's castle.

The fireworks were going off as we were back on the cars.  It was an awesome experience.

And since there was NO line for Buzz, we went on like 4 times.  

I just had fun making funny poses for the camera.

Oh look, the Peoplemover! ;)

It was another perfect day!!
