I would be sad that this trip report is coming to an end, but its a PRE-TRIP REPORT! Which means that in one week and six days from today, well be in Disney World! Speaking of trip reports, Ill start a thread with the same name as the PTR over in the main Trip Report board, with a link to this PTR. Im going to try and post a picture of the day while were WDW, but time will tell if I have time to do that!
Days 14 and 15 Friday and Saturday June 13 and 14 Resort: VGF Park: Magic Kingdom and Peoples Choice
Day 14 is our last day in the park. Oh well, look on the bright side were going to my happy place for two weeks! That is still 6 days longer than any of our earlier trips, which is a 66.7% increase in time. Yeah, Im a math teacher. The night before, were at the Cali Grill for 6pm and hopefully we can have the kids in bed not long after the Water Pageant pass the GF at 9:15. We didnt decide on that until this morning when my mom and I spent an hour and 40 minutes refining our plans just a few FP+ changes and reminders of when to hit shows at DHS.
Yesterday I noticed that FP+ for MSEP opened up as of this past Wednesday. I was so worried that I missed our chance to book those and that theyd all be eaten up, but luckily they were available (we needed one for little R's BD on June 5th). Besides, I think it is also good placement for Wishes per this:

Back to day 14 Well hopefully have fairly well rested children as I think well need to rope drop whatever park we decide to frequent. Where should we go? Should it be:

Or maybe this park:

Most unlikely is this park:

Ill be honest, Im actually leaning towards Epcot. I just love that park, and we can get there early and do Soarin and then whatever else our hearts desire . We cant have FP+ as we have them all scheduled for our evening at the MK, hence the need to get there at rope drop. Well see though. Who knows, maybe well decide to sleep in and then go to Epcot and just do whatever walk on we want. Or just go to the WS and do the Agent P activity All I know is I would love to ride the monorail over to Epcot and back since were staying at the VGF.
After we have lunch well come back to the resort, swim and then head over to MK. Our first FP+ is at 5pm for:

The next FP+ is for:

Followed by BTMRR. Were not 100% on that one, and well play it by ear as the trip progresses. We may change it to something else
After our FP+ (the last one is for 7-8) and whatever else we can squeeze in, well ready ourselves for:

Sigh. Tears will be flowing. How can they not?

Who knows when well be here next? Probably not until 2017! At least as a whole large family unit
The final day at WDW has us sleeping in and packing up. My Dad will leave around 9 am to drive to Georgia to stay with family. Hell take most of my familys luggage as the girls and I are flying Spirit to Detroit and we dont want to pay for luggage. Caz will be flying back to Denver to work for the next week and then drive across the country in time for his sisters wedding at the end of June. The girls and I are staying with my parents and then my in-laws. Well actually be in Michigan until July 13th! That will make a total of 6 weeks away from Colorado. Which believe you me, I desperately need! Although we are on three different flights, we all depart around the same time. The earliest flight is at 6:10pm (Caz) and the latest flight is at 6:26pm (the girls and I). My mom and the rest of the fam departs at 6:20pm.
So after were all packed, well head to:

For a 10:30 ADR. You may recall this ADR was a bonus that we added on at the end. After a big breakfast/brunch well lounge around our resort, savoring what will probably be the last time well stay at VGF:

Ahhh .

Were anticipating a 2:30 or so pick up from DME, get through security, then it will be the saddest monorail ride of the trip:

Sigh. So there you go... Truly a two week extravaganza! Ill be back next weekend to wrap things up and then start the TRIP REPORT! Squee! Oh, one last photo to share The adorable gift card my Mom got us. Thanks Mom!:
