Disney Day 6. Last day!

Day 6. Last Day. Magic Kingdom

We woke up early, packed, checked out and got on the bus for our last day at Disney.
We got there around 9am and left at 1pm.
This morning it was just the 3 of us.

Cinderella Castle that Friday Morning.

Brandon is ALL ready to go!
(prob the only kid with a non-disney toy in the park)
First thing he wanted to do is see the castle, so we walked up and got to go through it.
Luckily we did that first b/c they closed it off later.

Because we were on limited time, i went into super mom efficiency mode.
Kenn and B got in line for Dumbo and I went and got a fast pass for Winnie the Pooh and Mickey's Philharmagic. Got back in time to take pictures of course.


Trying to pull the sword from the stone.
Winnie the Pooh!
(you ride in a honeypot)
We did the Mickey's Philharmagic, which is in 3D so once again B was scared
thanks to BugsLife.
I then grabbed Fast Passes for Peter Pan's Flight and Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger Spin.
(which you can't really do, b/c the machine doesn't let you do 2 fast passes in the same hour so I had to talk an employee into giving me one since we were on limited time)

Then we went on the first of his top 2 favorite rides of the trip.


He liked it SO much he did it again riding with Kenn this time!
(boy is he a crazy driver, you get a little sick)


So while they waited to get on that for a second time, i decided to optimize our time
by waiting in line for the Astro Orbitor.
So that worked out PERFECTLY.
By the time they got off the cars they ran (literally) over to me
and we walked right on. You go up an elevator and then its a ride that is on a
platform up int he air.
This picture was VERY hard to take. I was getting sick from spinning
AND its physically hard to turn around with that air pushing you,
i was a little scared i'd drop the camera or fall out.
Then we used the fastpass and got onto Buzz Lightyear's ride.
Which was similar to the new Toy Story Ride at Hollywood Studios.
but here you shoot lasers to defeat the evil Zurg.


Zurg in Jail with Brandon
Got some yummy Mickey Mouse shaped Icecream
Then we ran BACK to Peter Pan's Flight.

Got the emergency PopCorn snack for waiting in line for his favorite ride of all time!
Picture below is waiting in line for
It's a small world!


he LOVED this ride

He kept pointing at all the sections guessing what country they were from.

I never knew how that ride lasted so long, now I do.
He was very upset that we couldn't go on again.
After that we had to leave the park...
it wasn't a pretty sight.


he cried all the way out of the park to the bus stop.
We got back to the hotel grabbed lunch,
(he was still a little cry-e)
Went to the airport and then home.
This is B with his new wings on the plane.
On the way home he did have problems with his ears and the pressure.
he didn't want the lollypop so we had him drink. and it seemed to go away.

He has asked about a million times to go back already, so I keep telling him
that we will go back after the new Fantasy section is open
(we saw signs for a new beauty and the beast ride, little mermaid ride and circus section)
We loved the trip rain and all and kenn is actually looking forward to going back!

Disney Day 5

Day 5 Epcot

Woke up and had breakfast at Kat Kora's again.
B's Breakfast


Then we had a nice 10 minute walk over to Epcot.
(Did I say I love this hotel?)
Epcot was doing their annual Flower and Garden show
where they make sculptures out of flowers and plants.
Some of our favorites...




We went over to Nemo's Ride.

After there is a little aquarium and the Crush (who talks) show.
Brandon didn't LOVE the show (i think he was a little scared)
but we liked it. Crush the turtle from Nemo interacts and talks to the kids in the audience,
the kids can ask him questions and he asks them questions.
It was really funny to watch the kids talk to him.



Then it started to downpour... we walked around Epoct and went to lunch in Japan.
Which was amazing...
Then we shopped in Japan...
Do you know how much hello kitty stuff they had???
THAT was also amazing.


Figment's Imagination ride.
(One of brandons favorites)


after they have an interactive section.
This is Brandon conducting figment.
We got pretty exhausted from the rain all day.
(we were all in ponchos today)
so we went back and crashed till like 8pm when the rain finally stopped.
So we ran back out and to Epcot to watch the fireworks.
(these were the ones we had previously seen a little from our rooms)
Brandon absolutely loved them.



Then after we were all hungry b/c we hadn't had dinner.
so we walked over to the Yaht and Beach club resorts and had dinner
and then walked around their beach area's.
