There were PM Extra Magic Hours at Epcot, but having done all of the popular attractions there, we decided to skip out, since we'd be hitting AM EMH at DHS the next morning.

On the monorail back, we spotted Wishes -


DSC_2515 by vshingl, on Flickr

Unfortunately, we got to TTC right after they ended. I've noted in the past that TTC would be a great place to watch the fireworks from because they blast the music.


DSC_2526 by vshingl, on Flickr

We walked back to the Poly.

For our last day at the parks, we got up bright and early for AM Extra Magic Hours at Hollywood Studios.

DSC_2547 by vshingl, on Flickr

I decided to take a picture of the closet doors... because they're cool.


DSC_2550 by vshingl, on Flickr


DSC_2551 by vshingl, on Flickr

We participated in the mad rush to Toy Story Mania.


DSC_2552 by vshingl, on Flickr


DSC_2553 by vshingl, on Flickr

His eyes look demonic.


DSC_2554 by vshingl, on Flickr

Doesn't look crowded? That's because everyone is inside, now...


DSC_2555 by vshingl, on Flickr

Rockin' Rollercoaster was down, so we hit up Tower of Terror first.

I posted this picture on Facebook. It got 6 likes.

Rockin' Rollercoaster was open for business, again -

Rachel posted a picture of this wait time on Facebook. Caption - "This is why I love Disney World"

[LittleMissMagic]

We had been "gifted" a Fastpass to Lights, Motors, Action, so we decided to go use that. Rachel and my parents hadn't seen the show in a few trips.

Rachel got ice cream before the show. It's mandatory that she eat at least one Mickey Mouse ice cream bar every time she visits Disney.


DSC_2560 by vshingl, on Flickr


DSC_2559 by vshingl, on Flickr

Because I had seen the show earlier that week, I now had an advantage photographing it. That, and I remembered most all of the answers to the pre-show trivia, which I answered aloud so that everyone around me would think I'm a car movie trivia genius.

[LittleMissMagic]

My timing was off - still missed the red car jump!


DSC_2565 by vshingl, on Flickr

Got these guys, though -


DSC_2566 by vshingl, on Flickr


DSC_2569 by vshingl, on Flickr

Something I had never seen before - the driver of the backwards hero car was a girl!


DSC_2571 by vshingl, on Flickr

See? I wish that she was driving when Max was there - he's all about [jokingly] putting girls in their place.


DSC_2573 by vshingl, on Flickr

Thanks for pointing out Lightning McQueen, guy in front of me...


DSC_2574 by vshingl, on Flickr

Spy car...


DSC_2575 by vshingl, on Flickr


DSC_2576 by vshingl, on Flickr

I'm still a little late on the jump...


DSC_2579 by vshingl, on Flickr

 

[LittleMissMagic]

Speaking of jumps...


DSC_2580 by vshingl, on Flickr

There he goes...

And, my money shot, which I am really, really proud of:


DSC_2591 by vshingl, on Flickr

 

[LittleMissMagic]

Walked by the new Disney Channel show -


DSC_2592 by vshingl, on Flickr

It was too hot to stand around and watch.


DSC_2594 by vshingl, on Flickr


DSC_2595 by vshingl, on Flickr

We decided to leave the park and eat lunch on the Boardwalk.

Got off at the Swan because it's quicker to walk from there.

DSC_2601 by vshingl, on Flickr


DSC_2602 by vshingl, on Flickr

We ate at the first place we saw -


DSC_2603 by vshingl, on Flickr

The food was really good. I ate a sandwich, can't quite remember what. It was a nice place to go to get away from theme park crowds, as well as the heat.

Where we'll be staying the next time we visit! They had some sort of event set up on the beach...


DSC_2613 by vshingl, on Flickr

 

[LittleMissMagic]

One day, I will rent one of these!!!

[LittleMissMagic]

After lunch, we headed to Epcot because Mom had been wanting to pick up a lipstick case from the China Pavilion. She had gotten one there years ago. I had my doubts that they'd still be there, but I was wrong!

I was very tempted to buy a kimono. No lie.

DSC_2622 by vshingl, on Flickr


DSC_2623 by vshingl, on Flickr

Sup, dragon?


DSC_2624 by vshingl, on Flickr

This was my favorite.

I got a frozen banana, and those things are a pain in the butt to eat!

We headed back to the resort, me periodically stopping to munch my banana. So annoying. Never again!


DSC_2631 by vshingl, on Flickr


DSC_2632 by vshingl, on Flickr

Can you spot our room? Here's a clue - there's a tiger paw in the window!


DSC_2633 by vshingl, on Flickr

 

[LittleMissMagic]

Rach and I hit the beach.


DSC_2634 by vshingl, on Flickr

We headed for a hammock on the far side, and as we were walking over there, this little kid races in front of Rachel and hops in the hammock before her. His two siblings then come and join him... and they fight. Scream. And fight. MORE OBNOXIOUS CHILDREN!!! Rachel stood there, waiting for them to leave the hammock. I walked up to Sunset Point. In the meantime, another hammock opened up. And finally, the dad of the brats came to get them.

We took the monorail to Magic Kingdom for the evening (3-park day, woohoo!).

[LittleMissMagic]

Next up: Magic Kingdom!


DSC_2654 by vshingl, on Flickr

First, we went shopping for ear hats. We needed to purchase Rachel's graduation ear hat and have her name embroidered on it. Also, she wanted to pick up an ear hat for her boyfriend, Alec. And I figured - what the heck, I'll get ear hats for Max and me, as well!

The make-your-own ear hat store was out of grad hats, so we went across the street to the Emporium. I picked out Mickey Pants/Donald Pants hats for Max and myself (Donald is Max's favorite character because "He don't take no [stish] from nobody!"). Rachel was jealous of the cute hats I had chosen, and decided she wanted princess Mickey ears for herself.

We took the ears across the street to get them embroidered. Rachel decided not to get the princess Mickey ears embroidered, since she was getting the grad ones with her name on them.


DSC_2655 by vshingl, on Flickr

These treats are sooooo cute!


DSC_2656 by vshingl, on Flickr

After we dropped off our Mickey ears, we headed to Tomorrowland to ride one of our faves, the PeopleMover.

Blur city.


DSC_2658 by vshingl, on Flickr

Weird twilight focus.


DSC_2659 by vshingl, on Flickr

Train!


DSC_2660 by vshingl, on Flickr

The princess in her ears!

DSC_2662 by vshingl, on Flickr

 

[LittleMissMagic]

There was a happenin party in Tomorrowland, so we had to stop by -


DSC_2663 by vshingl, on Flickr


DSC_2665 by vshingl, on Flickr

We all got to dance with Stitch!


DSC_2666 by vshingl, on Flickr

See - he's beckoning me!


DSC_2668 by vshingl, on Flickr


DSC_2669 by vshingl, on Flickr

 

[LittleMissMagic]

Then we headed to Fantasyland to check out the attractions we had missed.
