7am bus to Animal Kingdom...Skye's been wanting to see this park for months. LOVE's animals. I was really getting tired at this point, but it was our last day--one more park. Make that two more parks, Skye wanted to hit Typhoon Lagoon that afternoon.
AK was pretty crowded early, we made a b-line to the safari. We both loved it--saw several animals & took lots of pictures. Next stop a special early showing of the Lion King show. Great show --loved that too. We had 10something ps for Donald's Breakfastsaurus so we headed to Dinoland. Skye's excited because she'll finally get to add Mickey & Donalds autograph to her growing collection.
They took our picture outside the restaurant in front of a Dino Institute sign which turned out to be the best picture we'd get. They even had the package ready by the time we finished our meal!
Oh yeah, the tooth thing. Skye had this loose front tooth since before we left home. Barely hanging on kind of loose. It came out at Donald's Breakfastsaurous. Of course our waiter and Mickey and Donald made a big deal of it. Which was fun. Skye was showing everyone the tooth AND the bloody napkin.LOL The tooth fairy visited her in WDW that night.
Skye didn't want any part of the Dinosaur ride but she loved the Boneyard. Nana loved it too because it got me off my feet & allowed me to rest a bit.
After the Boneyard we got in the standby line (45min)for It's tough to be a Bug. We loved the Tree of Life & Skye had fun kidding around with some twenty something (handsome) guys in line behind us. One picked a flower and put it in her hair. We liked the show--except for the poke in the back--which hurt and wasn't really nessesary. Asia was packed --standby line 90min and fastpass time late in the day. We skipped it and went back to the room. Next time I think I want to do AK in short stints in the evenings. Too crowded during the day.
I laid down on the bed in the room and couldn't move. Fell asleep and couldn't wake up. Finally I asked Skye if she'd mind if we went and had a late lunch/early dinner then came back to the hotel to swim. We needed to pack up our stuff anyway because we had to leave the room at 4:30am & catchs Mears at 5am for 7:30am flight home. She must've been tired too because she agreed right away.
I had $10 off at Planet Hollywood so we caught the bus to DD. I was so glad to see that the bus stop was close to the restaurant and we wouldn't have to walk very far that I almost cried. Skye wanted ribs & I had a burger. I must've still had the stink bug stink still on me from ITTBAB earlier because when I tasted Skye's ribs they tasted like the stink bug smelled. YUCK. I didn't mention it to Skye and she ate them all. After dinner we limped back to ASMu to relax & enjoy our last swim.
We had mixed feelings about leaving the next day. Skye missed her Mom & I missed home, but we hated to leave as well. I couldn't have asked for a better trip. If it hadn't been for the DIS boards I'm sure it wouldn't have gone so well.
Oh, I wore my lime green ribbons, but didn't see any others. Maybe I was too busy to look.

Over all I guess that's not back for a four day trip! But next time I want at least six days!
Thank you all for your help.
