What a magical final “full” day in the parks! That has been my final “partial” day in the parks over several recent trips too. Animal Kingdom (breakfast at Starbucks), Magic Kingdom, and Epcot (lunch in Mexico). It is the perfect way to say, “until next time”!
It really was a perfect farewell day!
What a great last day! 3 parks, dinner at California Grill. Nice way to finish! I love watching the fireworks from there.
The fireworks were amazing and the meal delicious. It was perfect.
I know!
All caught up - congrats on the 10k, super congrats on the marathon, happy anniversary, and happy birthday!!
You guys are amazing - and so fun! I love the mid-race beer - though my stomach was giving you the stink eye thinking about that!
So much good eating on this trip - and super impressed with your DATW stamina.
Thank you so much. It was a great trip and DATW was a highlight. We were big drinkers back in the day, so DATW didn't actually seem that bad. Just couldn't make a habit of it

As Toby Keith would say, "I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once, as I ever was."
Great last day! Happy B-day
@Chris-Mo !!
So for your FOP rope drop, how early did you arrive before opening? I couldn't get a FastPass for FOP for our first day at AK, so we will do it first thing, but just trying to nail down touring strategy. Fortunately I was able to get a FP for it later in the week, but I know my kids are going to love it, so we want to ride more than once!
I think we got there about 45 minutes before park opening. So, we weren't way up at the front of people coming in, but in the area, past the ticket booths if that makes sense. I'd say we waited around 20-25 minutes to ride. But we were moving the whole time so it went by quickly. They also started walking us back early so we were in line before official opening.
What an awesome last day!
FoP is definitely one of my favorites.
California Grill is my favorite restaurant on property now. No better way to celebrate Chris's birthday too.
It was a great day. We hadn't been to California Grill in several years and I was really impressed by it. More than I remember being the first time we ate there. We'll definitely be back!
Fun last day! That is great that Chris's b-day is right after the marathon - something to look forward to and celebrate and avoid the "post race blues". Cali Grill is outstanding! Great choice!
Chris' birthday and our anniversary also make for a great excuse to go back to marathon weekend each year.
