Cast and crew:

Ace(me): 28. United States Air Force. Disney lover as long as I can remember.
DW: Nancy,28. Became Disney lover when we got engaged at Disneyland.
DS: Nick, 5. Had first Disney experience at 3 months old and hasn't looked back.
My mom: JoAnn. I owe my love of Disney to her since she always took us to Disneyland.
My sis: Vicki, 25. Looking for relaxation above all
My brother: Rob, 21. Can finally have a drink at PI
Brother's G/F: Ali. Is she ready for a week with us all?

Today would be the last day on our passes, so we decided to play by ear and go wherever sounded good. Sis was still recovering, but promised to meet up later. DS, DW, mom and I decided on a trip back to MGM. Did some shopping and hit ToT again. Wandered around stopping in on the Muppetts. Decided it was time to eat so wandered into Sci-Fi a few minutes before opening. Put our names in and we were seated quickly. Great place for atmosphere. Had a really great server who gave DS a driver's license since he was in the driver's seat. He also went over the rules of holding a license, which included having to smile 6 times per half hour, laughing out loud every 10 minutes, and more. Everyone ended up getting burgers which were pretty big and tasty. Did a bit more wandering before deciding to head out and over to Epcot. Rob and Ali headed off to Typhoon Lagoon, or so we thought. Hit Spaceship Earth again, played some more at Innoventions and did TT again. Sis met up with us and was starving so we stopped at the counter place in Mexico. She ate while mom and I grabbed another "grande" margarita. Made our way around through the showcase, stopping to shop and to listen to Eddie Money. Made our way over to UK and met back up with Rob and Ali, who ended up taking naps instead of going to TL. Listened to the British Invasion, then decided to head over for dinner at ESPN club. No wait and we head in. I could live here if they would allow it. Great dinner and manage to see some of Illuminations. Head to bus pick-up area of Boardwalk for trip to DD, but nothing is coming by. Rob and Ali go up to front of hotel to inquire about a taxi, but one of the valets tells them to jump in her van and she picks us all up for a ride over to DD. She said it was a slow night and she was bored, so it was no problem for her. More magic I guess. We arrive and head into DQ, while mom and sis do some shopping. A couple hours of the boys playing games while the rest went up for some coffee. Closing time came fast, so we jumped on the bus to head back and unfortunately get ready for departure tomorrow.

Up next: Day 8-DD and departure
