Our last day at Disney World! :(

On our final day at Disney World we started with an EARLY rope drop at the Magic Kingdom. The gates opened at 8:00am - which was different than the whole week earlier (they opened at 9:00am) - and that threw a lot of people off! We got to the parking lot at 7:00am! We were the 8th car in the lot! It was still dark outside when we got on the monorail! And it was misting, so I think people got a late start because of the weather - but NOT US!

Everyone woke up feeling good!
We were the 2nd family in line at our turn-style!

We got a front row spot for rope drop!
This is our view into the park as we waited for the countdown! No one can stop us!
We ran to Dumbo and we were on it as it ran for the 1st time that day. As you can see, Clair is SUPER excited! :)
We rode Dumbo 2 times in a row - I took the girls the first time and then Doug took the girls the 2nd time.

Alden & I had fun on our last ride on Dumbo of this trip!

Our next stop was the Tomorrow Land Speedway! Our kids LOVE that ride! I took Alden while Doug waited with the girls (Clair isn't tall enough to go on it yet, so we had to take turns.)

Next, Doug took Samantha and I think we was scared for his life!! :)


Doug wanted to ride the Astro Orbiter (It is on top of the People Mover.) He thought it would be just like Dumbo, only higher. Well - he was WRONG! It was down right scary! It went so fast that you felt g-forces as you were going around and around. I almost felt sick, and Doug - well - he was VERY sick after it. Alden didn't look so good either, but Samantha & Clair seemed to love it. (I was really scared hanging on to Clair as we were going, because all that was holding us in, was a really loose seatbelt, but we survived!) We went on Buzz Lightyear after that because there was absolutely no line! It was crazy how thin the crowds were during the 1st 2 hours we were there!

After the Astro Orbiter - Samantha & I walked to Frontier Land to ride Thunder Mountain one last time. The castle looked abandoned because it was 8:30am and not many people were in the park yet!
We stopped to take a picture of a replica of the Liberty Bell.
While Samantha & I were on Thunder Mountain, Doug took Alden & Clair on the People Mover (Alden's favorite ride). On the way there, they bumped into Stitch! Who Alden still calls Ditch.

Alden put his hands up on the People Mover because he thought it was going fast! (Doug & Alden share a bond that I will NEVER understand - because that ride is SLOW!) :)

We met back up a little after 9:00am and got in line for the Tangle Meet & Greet (which started at 10:00am). We had tried to do this on the other days we went to Magic Kingdom, but the line get long fast and does not move. The movie was awesome, so I knew we needed to wait it out! Doug took the kids and walked around for awhile and get fast passes. This was easily the longest we waited for anything on the trip. 45 min but we got to split it up because you could switch who was in line.

Once we got inside the Tangled Meet & Greet area, the kids got to color a picture while they waited for Rapunzel and Flynn.

When Rapunzel & Flynn arrived, they sang and danced with the kids and then met each family individually.

The kids got to hold a stuffed animal that looked like Pascal from the movie.

Alden really liked Flynn! I think they talked about some HEAVY stuff! :)
Samantha showed Rapunzel how to tap dance!

Flynn showed Alden how to smolder! It was adorable!
So happy!

After the seeing Rapunzel & Flynn, the kids & I walked by the Wishing Well and took a picture of the kids on the way to meet up with Doug & Clair again. Doug hung out on a bench by it's a small world and gave advice to random people on how to tour the park. We then rode IASW again.

We ate lunch at Pecos Bills in the Magic Kingdom and then Doug walked back to the Christmas store to pick up the ornament as the kids and I hung out at the front of the park. The masses of people we started to show up at about noon. It was getting hard to walk and we couldn't take the long lines anymore!

We hopped parks to go to Epcot one last time and more space.

We walked to Italy and did a Kidcot Station to color on the kids' Duffy Bears.

The kids were hard at work, coloring their bears!

We walked through the China Pavilion and ran into Mulan!

The kids needed to do one last Kidcot Station in China! The Sam had done a good job of saying "hello" "thank you" and "Good bye" it the languages. She got the biggest reactions in France and China. (I helped out a little bit, to make it faster!)

Alden liked this decorative Mickey Mouse that was in TrenD!

As we left Epcot, we had one final picture taken of our family!

I wasn't quite done with Disney - so I convinced Doug that we needed to go to Downtown Disney for a little bit more shopping! We ate supper at Earl of Sandwich and then did some shopping before leaving Disney property and returning to Westgate to finish packing.
