Bye-Bye Micky Mouse!

Our flight home didn't leave until 5:00 in the evening and we had to catch the Magical Express at 2pm so we had about half a day to enjoy Disney World. It was a cool and rainy morning so we weren't sure what we were going to do. First we did some serious shopping at the hotel gift shop. Abby found some sweet pink sandals and backpack that she tried on (we didn't buy them) but we did end up with some shirts and souvenirs. After our shopping trip we got a picture of Luke in front of the Disney Totum Pole. He loved the bear and kept hugging it. We still had about 4 hours so we decided to leave the stroller at the hotel and take the boat over to the Magic Kingdom one last time and have some lunch.

We were a little worried it the weather was going to hold out while we were there. After we got to the park we went back to Toon Town and hopped on the train that goes around the park. It was perfect timing because it started raining and we were nice and dry. Luke really loves the "choo-choo" so it was nice to have this as one of our last memories. After a ride around the park we played at Pooh's Corner again and saw Pooh and Tigger...but didn't get too close. We really wanted to ride Dumbo's ride one more time but the line was long so instead we grabbed some lunch at Pinocchio's house. It had cleared up so we ate outside and watched Dumbo go around. We took a slow walk out of the park and got back on the boat...bye-bye Mickey!

It was a good thing we left when we did, it started pouring! We ran back into the hotel and met up with the Rose's who where playing board games and building blocks. It was nice to sit in the amazing hotel lobby for a bit and enjoy the place we spent the last week. We caught the Magical Express back to the Orlando Airport with some tired twins who did not want to rest. Our flight was delayed...go figure but we managed to keep them occupied in the terminal. Abby and Luke were sound asleep by take-off and we prayed for a peaceful flight. Luke slept most of the way and Abby woke up with about an hour left (and not happy...just ask the people around us)! As we waited for our luggage to come around on the carousel, Abby and Luke put their Elmo backpacks on to go for a spin...they waited for them to come back around and picked them off. Such big kids!

Our trip was magical. We know that they won't remember much of anything but we will remember the smiles and joy they experienced. They both love looking at the pictures of all the characters on the computer...especially Einsteins and Micky Mouse. We plan on taking them again and next time we know it will be a completely different experience.
