DAY 4.... MAGIC KINGDOM...LAST DAY THERE

Our last day at Disney, time went by so fast and I already wanted to start over by this time. The day was hot, almost 90 and cloudy/sunny mixing thru the day. They had been calling for rain and it finally came at night when we were sitting down to watch the castle change colors and the light/firwork show about to start. That got everyone up and moving and leaving. We didn't see the show but all of us were happy and loved seeing the castle light up, Sam thought it was so cool and look at those rain clouds above it.
We had tons of fun at this park, I have to say Tomorrowland was my favorite part of it, had my favorite ride of all. The Buzz Lightyear ride, it was fun and relaxing and just so me. Rich got the highest points in that ride, 999,9999 and I got a picture of that as you see above. I liked that we rode rides with the two of us together and the kids in the other cars, kinda like mini dates for hubby and me. Sam made sure we rode all the mountain rides, Splash Mt., Space Mt. and I can't remember the 3rd one, sorry. His goal that day was to ride them all and it made him VERRRRY happy.
 
In tomorrowland we also enjoyed a Laugh-in Show, it's a live show and they use the audience for their jokes. We went twice and each time was a different, we tried to get picked but sadly didn't. Was so funny to see what they did and said each time. I could have done this a 3rd time. Summer was happy to see a ride thingy about STITCH her fave charcter, this was just ok funny. Only did it once and it was enough. Also rode this tram thing thru the park and had relaxing time doing it twice, was a nice break after a long day.
 
They had a live dance stage here too and Sam got up to dance with Pluto and other characters, soooo love that he does this. He is a dancer and has moves let me tell you, watch out ladies!! This was a fun break thru the day also, they played great music and got everybody involved and changed up the characters thru this 4 hour show. LOVE IT!!
 
We also walked thru the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse, LOVED IT!! So cool to see the little rooms made up and tiny things in there, walked all the way up and back down, so COOL!!
Bonita said to visit the Tiki Room so that was next, cool and pretty show with singing birds of all kinds. Nice and cool in there too.
Renee was THRILLED to see/meet TinkerBell her favorite Princess/Fairy, she was so cute with them and esp. Sam dressed all in green like herself. We had to wait a looooong time for this one.
The girl from BRAVE was there and I would have loooved meeting her, that movie is a favorite of mine now. I walked slowly by her instead, maybe next time.
We ate at 2 nice places this time, great food and friendly people. Rich got tons of comments about his Indians shirt this day, he wore it hoping to find other Indian fans and it worked. Nice that strangers come up and start talking baseball with you and enjoy the same team even though we aren't that great. This week was the start of the season and Rich missed the games but tried to get peeks during mornings at breakfast or the newspapers. Poor guy has never missed the first open season games, EVER!! I was happy that he had people to talk it over with thru the day and even the walk out that night to the car. This made him very happy he brought an Indainas shirt for everyday that week.
 
I meant for us to walk thru Mickey Town and completly forgot till we were on way home, darn it. I love the little mini houses and fun from this area. We never did get Mickey/Minnie's signatures or saw any Princess either, but that's ok was a good time.
 
Thanks for all the comments on my MEETING BONITA post, was such a great way to celebrate being in Florida. Perfect day to relax and just enjoy ourselves, no walking and rushing around. Thanks again for your visits and comments. Tracey, I am hoping we can meet when you come in the fall, will be soooooo awesome to hang out for the day with you!! Fingers crossed!!
Have a great weekend everyone, we will have mild spring weather so busy with yard work and soccer game and walking at the track.
 
p.s. WE HAD A BLAST AT THE TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT,SOOOO AMAZING AND FUN. MY SISTER EVEN SURPRISED US WITH A LIMO TO TAKE US THERE. THE KIDS WERE OVER THE MOON EXCITED BY IT. THANKS HEATHER!!
 
GOOD-BYE DISNEY, THANKS FOR ALL THE FUN AND MAGIC, WILL BE BACK AGAIN SOME DAY!! WILL MISS YOU!!

  1. Sounds like such a fun time! I love all of your happy pics! You did some fun-sounding things that we didn't do when we were at Disney. How do you get points on the Buzz Lightyear right? Sounds like fun!I don't think I've been through Mickeytown either? A limo for the Taylor Swift concert sounds like so much fun!!! Glad you had a good time!

  2. Hi Michelle, thanks for the visit! On the Buzz Lightyear ride, you sit in this cool car thingy that you can spin if you want and you have a laser gun that you use to shoot targets with. For each target you get it adds up the points on your car, this was hard for me at first then I caught on and did ok but Rich did amazing.
