Disney: Day 7

Our last full day of vacation was great! We did some park hopping to see a few things we missed. Thanks everybody for asking about our trip. I have really enjoyed telling everyone about it. Mom says all of this blogging I have been doing will be very helpful for her to remember the details when she starts on the scrapbook of the trip. Here’s the scoop on our last day at Disney:

- Started with the Best Friends Breakfast at the Polynesian Resort where we saw Mickey, Pluto, Lilo, and Stitch
- Went to Magic Kingdom where we met Pinocchio
- Rode in a car with Daddy at the Tomorrow Land Speedway.....I didn't want to drive it myself, but had a great time riding along
- Took one last spin in the teacups
- Met Tinkerbell and one of her Fairy Friends.....I was very excited about this as Tink seemed to be responsible for a lot of the magic we had been seeing all week
- Made one last pass through the Princess Meet and Greet line to say goodbye to Cinderella
- Zipped over to Hollywood Studios where Mom and I caught Playhouse Disney On Stage......the show included Little Einsteins, Tigger, Pooh, and Friends, and the cast of Handy Manny.....We danced and sang along with them
- Meanwhile Daddy went to ride the Tower of Terror.....While he was in there a storm came, and if you know anything about that ride, the rain and lightning made it even better......Afterward he got "wring your shirt out" soaked walking to where Mom and I were
- Finally got to meet Buzz and Woody from Toy Story.....We just missed them a couple days before, and I had been really bumbed about it.....I was so glad to see them
- Went to the Downtown Disney area.....Ate at the Raglan Road Irish Pub.....Great as usual......Very pretty place
- Went to the World of Disney store for about 2 hours!!!.....We didn't even have time to see the other 100 or so stores at Downtown Disney, but for first timers just the one store was fantastic!
- I picked out a Cinderella's Castle play set for my big treat of the trip.....It had to be shipped, and it arrived today! I am now in princess heaven again!!!!!
- Hurried over to the Magic Kingdom one last time (Mom just HAD to end the trip there) to see the fireworks.......They really are spectacular......I fell asleep as soon as they were over so Dad took a quick trip on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
- We didn't get in that night until around midnight, but I didn't even wake-up on the noisy bus ride back to the hotel.....I was officially worn out, but the timing couldn't have been any better
- The next morning we headed to the airport, and got home around 6:00.

If you haven't ever been, like the three of us hadn't, and the opportunity presents itself, go!!!! Mom and Dad were a bit sceptical about how much they would enjoy it, but they had every bit as much fun as I did! It really was the trip of a lifetime!

Stitch and me at breakfastLilo was so nice.....She held Baby an extra long time both times we met her
Pinocchio was just inside the park when we got there....I really loved these unexpected character sitings
Iridessa the light fairy, one of Tinkerbell's friends.....She told us she is responsible for things like the flash on your camera, so she instantly became Mom's new favorite
The fireworks....Tinkerbell flew through the sky to start the show
I finally ran out of gas
Leaving the hotel....."See ya real soon"
