So glad to see you guys got to check out the "Don't waste it" exhibit. My nephew loved it!! It was probably his favorite thing in all of Disney!! It was also the reason for my TR name. I couldn't believe this place had become such a vital part of our vacation!

What a great family pic with Mickey AND Minnie! That's gotta be a rare opportunity. I can't recall seeing them together in a pic like that before.

SO many cute pictures!! I especially love the family picture, but there are great ones of the kids too!

Thanks Alicia!! Gabe was in Heaven at the "Don't Waste It" activity! It was a lot of fun, especially watching him enjoy it so much!! I would guess most boys would find pushing a garbage truck around and playing video type games fun!!

I was totally excited when we walked behind the curtain and saw both Mickey and Minnie! It was wonderful!! I felt really lucky!!!

SO many cute pictures!! I especially love the family picture, but there are great ones of the kids too!

Thank you!!! We got a lot of great pics on the last day, I tried to take as many Photopass pics as I could!! We have a few more from that day yet, I will post in my next update!! We ended up with a lot of nice family pics from the trip and I was hoping to at least get one!! We got really lucky with a lot of nice shots!!

Hey Beth!

I'm all caught up now!

Sounds like ya'll had a great last day!

We the Parade in AK too! We saw Festival of Lion King this trip for the first time...it was great...esp since it was in the a/c!!

Great pics of your family too!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Aww I hate that last visit to the MK. Leaving is the worst.

So cool you got to meet Mickey and Minnie at the Visa thing! I wonder how they do the characters there. When we went we had Mickey and Pluto. Wonder if it's Mickey and then another character??? Hmmm...sorry for my thinking out loud on your TR.

Thanks Heather and WELCOME BACK!!! I hope you guys had an awesome trip!! Let me know when you start your TR, I can't wait to read all about it!!
We had a wonderful last day, there is still much more to come!!!

Leaving really stinks doesn't it Sarah?? You lucky duck get to go back soon!!! I'm soooo super jealous!!! I have no clue how they do the Visa meet. Last trip it was Minnie and Goofy. I wonder if there is a permanent rotation or just totally random?? I like it though, it's a nice "perk" and nice to get the free pic!!!

Still hanging in there with you and LOVING your TR....so sorry to see it coming to an end. Your kids are adorable and your family pics are all so great!! I was wondering about the Visa meet and greet though.....do you need to set it up ahead of time or talk to someone specific at the park? Do they do it each day? We just started using the Disney Visa and saw we got this perk with the meet and greet and free pic, but not sure how it works exactly.

 

[Charlefours]

What a great last day! Can you remind me where the Visa Meet and Greet is at? I want to be sure we stop by too. Great family photo with Mickey and Minne.

Thank you both so much!! I am sad it's coming to an end too! I remember how sad I was on that last thinking of all the things we did and all the things we missed. The Visa meet and greet is great. I believe it is everyday from 1:30-4:30 in Innoventions at Epcot. I think it's in Innoventions West. You just go and get in line. This trip we waited a bit, our last trip we were able to walk right in. It's different characters everyday. You just need to have your card with you, they take your account # down and then you can pick up your free 5x7 at the Epcot photo place. It's wonderful!! It's a nice little perk!!

I had to come check out your TR, and I read the whole thing!! Your kids are SOOO adorable! I love the sleepy pictures, but my favorites are the ones where they're holding hands, and the one where Helen is sitting on Gabe's lap waiting for the parade! So sweet!! I'm sad it's coming to an end, but it looks like you guys had a fabulous time, and you got so many great family shots.

Hey Joanne!! Glad you jumped over to my TR and read it!! Thank you for ALL your sweet comments about my kiddos!! So nice of you to say those things! We had a LOT of fun and all those pics are my favorites too! Thanks for reading along I checked out a bit of your wedding pics from your first TR, you are a beautiful bride!! I LOVE LOVE the colors of your wedding!!! I am going to have to read that old TR too now!!

 

[Cory's Gal]

It took FOREVER for our pic to load to our photopass but come to find out it wasn't loaded correctly and was stored somewhere else, luckily they found it!!! They gave the kids a ton of stickers while we waited, you will notice them in the upcoming pics all over Gabe's shirt!!

My parents had already headed back to the resort and we grabbed a few more pics before we left Epcot! Some more "faves" for me!!

The Flower and Garden clipart was so cute!!

And of course our "Dreams Came True" here too!

We waved a sad good-bye to Epcot and then headed to the bus!

A fun ride as always!

We asked the kids what they wanted to do and of course said "GO SWIMMING"!!!!

Gabe loved this slide, I wished the picture would have shown his happy and excited face!

Some nice pool pics!! We had a lot of fun at the FQ pool!!

Cory and I were chilly but the kids still wanted more pool time so we walked over to the little splash pool so they could have some more fun!!

After the pool we got back to the room and changed and my parents came back with dinner for them and the kids and told us to "get out of here"! I had THREE things that I wanted to do that we didn't get to see and Cory and I headed out to get those THREE things done, sooooooooooo we were headed to...

Aw, thanks so much Beth, that means a lot! I'm loving your Flower and Garden pics too, by the way! Adorable!!

I'm late to join in, but loving your trip report!

Your kiddos are adorable and i'm sad to hear your almost at the end of your trip

 

[MNTwinsMom]

Checking in again to say I'm enjoying your Trip Report. Your photopass pictures turned out great at all the parks. I share your addiction to the borders! Isn't it nice to have pictures with all 4 of you together?

Your family did a great job of representing our state - there's hardly a picture where at least one family member isn't wearing a Twins shirt! We're headed to Target Field tonight. Can't wait!

I'll check back in to hear about your last night in WDW. We did the same thing on our trip last December. On our last night my parents took the kids to watch fireworks while my husband and I enjoyed a last night in Epcot. I needed one more ride on Test Track before I could say goodbye to Disney.

Love all your pictures but this one is probably my favorite. Your kids are too stinking cute.

Thanks Joanne! The F & G displays were beautiful!! I could look at them all day long!!

Thanks for reading and catching up and for your sweet comment about my kiddos!! I still have a good amount of pics to share and a few more adventures so it's not quite done yet!! Looks like you are getting close to your first WDW trip!!! So excited for you!!!!

I LOVE getting family shots!! I wish I would have gotten a couple of just Cory and I and a couple Princess pics with me and Helen, but I think we didn't pretty good!!
My family really LOVES those Twins!! You saw a great game last night and I hope you got out of there before the nasty rain came through!! We actually met Denard Span yesterday at Maplewood Mall. He was signing autographs, I have to load up pics and I will post them if I can!!
It was really nice having my parents along so Cory and I could get a bit of time to ourselves. It will be different when the kids are bigger and can go all day & night, but now that they are young it's really nice to have the extra help!!

Love all your pictures but this one is probably my favorite. Your kids are too stinking cute.

Thanks Sarah! Helen makes the cutest facial expressions. She had MANY and share them a lot!!

Hi Beth! I got a little behind...but all caught up now! It sounds like you had fun in Innoventions! I love the Disney Visa Meet and Greet pictures! They turned out so good! So sad that it was your last park though.... Great photopass pics! Helen putting her arm around Gabe is adorable!! Looks like they had a lot of fun swimming! What a cool pool! Can't wait to find out the three things you wanted to do....

 

[martinolichfamily]

Loving all the pics!

 

[Peter Pan Fan 22]

It looks like yall had a great time at the pool!

Since you left us with a cliffhanger I'm tempted to guess. Hmmmm...part of me is saying you went back to Downtown Disney to buy some souvenirs, but the other part is saying you went to Epcot to ride Soarin'. Am I close or way off?
