DAY 7 - MK All Day!!!!
Woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed!
... ready for our last full day at Disney! We took a family vote and decided to spend every last waking moment at MK....! Had a quick breakfast in the room and then took the boat over to MK. This was the most crowded day at MK so far. They were setting up for the Big Press Event, so there were lots of reporters and I guess VIP's around. It was also very VERY HOT!!! 
I was getting tired of this weather and looking forward to nice cool weather back in NY! Anyway, we went straight to Philharmagic... 4 time and still AWESOME!!! On to Dumbo, Peter Pan, Snow White and then did FP for Pooh. We then went to find Ariel at Ariel's Grotto. She was beautiful and very sweet to the kids! DH and kids then went on the Tea Cups... you couldn't get me on those things again even if Mickey himself asked me on! After that, I noticed it was almost time for Belle's Storytime so we went to grab a seat. It was OK, nothing special. I expected better interaction I guess. Then we went to Pinocchio House for great burgers. It was time to hop on Pooh's ride. Kids enjoyed it again!
Off to Adventureland! We FP'd Jungle Cruise and then went on Magic Carpets. We window shopped a little and then it was time for the Jungle Cruise, again. I was not looking forward to more cheesy jokes.. and guess what? We had the same tour guide, I think his name was Andy! And the same jokes were said. DS even gave out the punchlines occassionally!
After the cruise, we decided to take the train to Toontown. Once on the train, DH asked "Can we stay on for a while, I am about to collapse!" I agreed and we actually got some rest while checking out the scenery! We finally stopped at Toontown. DH begged me to get on Barnstormer. DD was tall enough for this so I agreed. I am a big sissy .. hate fast rides. I tolerated this and for a moment was a little frightened. But, I managed to keep composed and made it through the ride. Guess what? DD LOVED the ride and wanted to get back on!!!! AKKKK!! I said I would sit it out and she begged me to ride with her! Now, how could I say no to her? She has been so patient and sat out so many rides... so I agreed! After the 2nd time, the legs were a little wobbly! So, I sat down while DH took kids to see Mickey and Minnie's houses again. They love Minnie's kitchen! We then walked to Main Street and had ice cream sundaes from the Ice Cream Parlor. Yummy! People were lining up for the parade, so we figured we could sneak some more rides in during the parade since we had seen it already. Did Philharmagic... AGAIN! 5 times the charm! 
Then, promised the kids one last time on Small World. Went on the Carousel, Dumbo and did FP for Peter Pan.
DS reminded us that we promised him another go at the Hall of Presidents! Perfect for naptime...!! We ran over and DS was in heaven. We had 2nd row, center seats! He was sitting on the edge of his seat the whole time. He loved it! Go figure! He asked, "Mommy, what number President do you think I will be?" He sure has a big goal for a career choice!
We then ran for our FP time to Peter Pan. We love that ride! Then did Dumbo one absolute last time! Had PS at LTT. The food was the best! I thought that Garden Grill was good... this was better! The apple cobbler was to die for! While eating, I looked outside and noticed the wind really pick up... then I saw some flashes, not camera... Lightning! Oh brother! We were so lucky all week... not a drop of rain. Now, our last night, we made a run for it to the ferry! It was really thundering and flashing lightning now. A few big raindrops were falling too. Only seats were outside. The kids were so tired and scared.... Then the CM told us, "The captain advises that everyone should stay inside the boat since there are no lightning rods on the boat!" Great, just what my paranoid DS needed to hear! It felt like an eternity to get to WL... but we got there, right in the middle of the storm! Oh, I also have to add... not one person asked if DH wanted to sit down since he was holding sleeping DD!! I was really annoyed!
I guess the vacation was over! We ran as best we could to the hotel.... drenched, tired and cranky... we got to our room. Oh, no... I forgot TIME TO PACK! We put the kids in bed and began the fun job!
As I mentioned in the other report, we did LOTS of shopping! We ended up throwing out all the toiletries to make room for the souveneirs! Finally finished packing at 11:00... crawled into bed!
DAY 8 - SAY GOODBYE TO WL!
We awoke and cleaned up... finished up the packing. Then, went to WC for a great breakfast. It was a nice way of finishing our vacation. DH went up to the room to call Bell Services and get our luggage. I stayed in the lobby with kids... they watched TV, sat and relaxed. Limo came... we got an upgrade to a Stretch with a TV ... it was great! Got to airport and was really tired. The kids were ready to go home. But, on the plane they already asked, "When are we going back?" I turned to DH and said, "Yea, when are we going back?"
