DisneyWorld: Day 5 (Last Day)

The last day we were in Florida. We weren't quite sure which park we should have went to. The girls really  wanted to see Tinkerbell and the fairies yet but weren't 100% sure which park they were in. Jessica and I had asked around earlier in the week and heard 2 different answers. She was told that they were in Hollywood Studios and I was told they were at Epcot. Such decisions! So we had a late start and were pressed for time as we had to leave the resort around 3pm to catch our bus to take us to the airport. So we were at the bus stop trying to decide which park to go and decided to take a chance and whichever bus was next, would be the park we will finish our vacation at. Spontaneous, huh? Sure enough, it was the Hollywood Studio bus so we hopped on and were on our way.

Hollywood Studios was pretty cool, not as big as Magic Kingdom but fun and different at the same time. My opinion, it's for older kids and adults but we found some things the girls liked. We saw a cool street parade and dance from some Disney Channel show. The girls were pretty glued to that and were both dancing. Then we heard that Buzz and Woody from Toy Story were at the park so wanted to meet them as both girls really love that movie. When we reached that area of the park, we saw quite a few of those toy army guys in the street. One minute they'd be still as can be, then we'd walk by and would move. Didn't think they were real! So we got a few pictures taken with them. This was the longest wait, by far, for the entire vacation. My estimate is that we waited about 2 hours in line to meet Buzz and Woody. At least during the wait, there was cool things to look at and do. There was various picture posing stations along the way designed as different scenes in Toy Story. One was the bedroom scene, another was pretending to be in a box, another was being strapped to a rocket and so on. The girls really didn't complain in line but knew they were getting tired. Once they met them, the wait was worth it. It's nice that they get to spend at least 3-5 minutes with them- talking and dancing. Buzz had to quick 'get his batteries changed' so luckily they got to spend more time with Woody then while they were waiting. 

After that, we had to have some lunch and did a little shopping. We also found some Monsters Inc. characters- Sully and Mike. Leah was a little timid of them, being so tall. They weren't able to sign their books but got some cute pictures. Leah said Sully was really hairy and soft. Time seemed too short at this park but had to catch that bus back. Once we were back at our resort, we took a nice walk around to remember everything- pool, beach, flower trees, pond and bridge. We also played at the park for an hour or so while us moms had a Pina Colada! We could tell the girls were sad to leave but were ready to get back to see the boys. 

They were both excited to hop back on the airplane. They waved goodbye to Disney and said 'See you later'. They kept busy on the plane with coloring, watching movies, and of course, sleeping. We got back to Minneapolis around 9pm and were happy to see daddy and Jackson. These will be such wonderful will memories to share with my little girl. I feel so grateful that we went on this trip. It's hard to spend good, quality time with each kid I have now that we have two. So this week being with Leah, I felt that I learned even more about her and am going to cherish these memories. She's such a fun, happy, funny little girl andalways love her. We'll be back in a few Disney!
