Final day.....sad and tired!

We awoke for our final day at DisneyWorld....the girls' hair was magically the same as the night before (due to SO much gel and spray at the boutique), but they loved it. The girls passed out when we got to the hotel which was nice and gave Gary and I a chance to completely pack everything up for our trip home. We dropped off our luggage with the concierge (checked it in with Delta for us so we were done with check-in by 8am!!) and headed to the O'Hana restaurant in our hotel for breakfast. The girls had to each get new autograph books because each had filled theirs up. We met so many characters this time that it was crazy fun!! At breakfast we met Lilo and Stitch as well as Pluto and Goofy in their hawaiian shirts. There is also a parade at breakfast that Caroline got to be the leader of with Lilo!

After breakfast we met Mom and Dan at Magic Kingdom and asked the girls to tell us what they wanted to ride. We did the barnstormer roller coaster and tried to meet Tinkerbell (90 minute wait....no way....not worth it!!!), rode several other rides and enjoyed a great lunch. Met a few new characters such as Peter Pan and Chip'n'Dale and Anna and I even were waiting to ride space mountain when the ride shut down! We were in the car strapped in and were the next to leave when they turned on all the lights and had to reset Track A. We were on Track B. After about a 15 minute wait, we were off for our final trek on a great classic ride. I remember when my older brother James and I were at Disney world in the mid 1980's and rode Space Mountain over and over again.

We were sad to have to leave the parks and head back to the hotel to catch the Magical Express to the airport but we had a fantastic time. Not too long, not too short. So thrilled to enjoy it with Mom and Dan who spend so much time with the girls. When we asked Anna what her favorite thing was she kept switching between the big roller coaster rides. When we asked Caroline what her favorite ride was she said "All the rides...all the parks....all the characters". Both girls agreed it was such a fun trip and are already asking when we can go back.....Gary and I need to save our money for the next trip starting now!!
