I always cry for MK ropedrop, so you are not the only one. It's so sad that this is coming towards the end. I can't believe it!
The Pocahontas part of the train ride is my favorite thing. I will literally BELT out Colors of the Wind. It's probably quite embarassing for my family, but thankfully they put up with me.After singing with Pocahontas and answering that silly riddle that the spiel guy asks, we made it to the Toontown station.
Hey girlie!! Wow! I've missed so much! You're on the last day already! Alrighty, gotta go back and catch up!
i was so excited to get on this morning and see that you had done an update!
magic kingdom's opening ceremony is my absolute favorite one!i'm so glad yall were able to see it that morning... and on an EMH morning, too! yaaay!
i've always wondered about the family of the day as well... are they pretty much like the first family to show up?
yall got a lot done that morning... awesome! the bakery sounds delicious right about now, too. i want a cinnamon roll! we're definitely eating there this summer!
great update tink!![]()
Congratulations on making that rope drop! We feel like it is very worth it to get going early, do a bunch of things, then slow it down a bit or leave when everyone else is just arriving.
Butterflies. Big grin. Emotional sap.
It's okay. I got chills just reading about it, because it truly is a wonderful time as you build up to the excitement of opening the Magic Kingdom!![]()
I love the opening show at the MK, it's my favorite. I always mist up while watching.
You're getting lots done so far but still enjoying your time there. I've never had breakfast at the Bakery so I'll have to add it to the list.
I know the last day blues you are referring to. But at least your time is being well spent this morning! You guys have got a lot done so far!![]()

I'm the same way as you. Every Disney trip must start and end with the MK. It's the ONLY way to do things.
I LOVE Rope Drop at the MK. That silly little show always makes me tear up. And my sister and I like to sing along.
I'm not looking forward to riding the TTA and hearing the new spiel this summer. I will probably cry and mourn the loss of Mr. Tom Morrow.
A+++ choice at the Main St. Bakery. Those cinnamon rolls are to die for! It's like heaven in your mouth.

And do you happen to mean, "What do you get when you cross Mickey's Toontown with a country fair? Why, you get Mickey's Toontown Fair, of course!" I am going to cry when they knock down Toontown only because they will have to remove that from the spiel!!![]()
Aww, your last day is here already!!! At least your enjoying it.
NOOOOooooooooo this can't be the last day! what am I going to DO?! I admit..... I lurk a lot without posting....Shame on me.
I seriously love reading your TR's. SO great and relaxing... it's kind of like a good book... it's great and you hate to put it down when it's over but when you do, you're like, "dang that was good!" (John Lock said that recently on ABC's lost! and I'm also going to say it about your TR! LOL!)
ohhhh Tink I hear you about last daysI get sad too. I think the WORST is when I'm checking out, and I hear people checking IN!!! UGH! lol you guys got so much done for being so early in the day!
As we went over the bridge, I was sad to see that the burning building was still not burning. That was one of my favorite little things about Frontierland and it hasnt been working for a few trips now. Does anybody know why?

Doesn't the MK opening show have that effect on everyone? My Mum and I always make sure our sunglasses are in place to mask the tears that always come. I agree with you that there is something very touching and magical about the show. I love the music they play after the countdown. Even singing it brings a little lump. i would love to get that music. Looked in the parks but couldn't find it - maybe next trip.
I can't believe you are on your last day already. You both seem to have had a lovely time just the two of you, although I am sure you missed having your family there. Nice to be able to do it both ways!
Not long till your next trip though!
Aww I hate last days. I am pretty much the same way...hardly take any pictures and feel sad the whole day. I try to tell myself what your fiance told you that we still have the whole day ahead of us but sometimes that doesn't work.
Yay for EMH!
As for the burning house I think I read in the Hidden Magic book they stopped that a few years ago.![]()
Love the update Tink! I looove the MK opening show, it makes me pretty emotional too lol. The cinnamon rolls are the best breakfast ever! We get them to go sometimes to but they are much better when you have them there fresh!
I lurk a lot too and then forget that I never post!!!
And I agree about the last days! It makes me so sad to be wheeling my luggage out while everyone else is checking in being so excited!
I wish I had the ambition to EVER make a rope drop but it doesn't seem likely lol. I am NOT a morning person EVER... happiest place on earth or not... mornings and me = no good.
Reading your TR has made me decide that I 1. need to finish my honeymoon one and 2. will be doing one after our trip next week. I think my friend and I will write it together.
Hey girl! I read in The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World (which I got thanks to you, by the way!) that they got rid of the burning building a few years ago because of "pesky rules and regulations".
Check it out, it's on pg. 37!

When DBF and I get to WDW by ourselves for our Disneymoon, I can't wait to be able to go to the parks more than once! It'll be so much fun to do the "slower" things like eating breakfast at the bakery like you did! Normally it's all about the rushrushrush! What a fun memory that must be though, to sit and enjoy the whole experience of your cinnamon roll!
Boo, why must your TR be coming to an end?
Aww last days are so sad!We always end with MK too, can't imagine it no other way!
That's great you were able to make the rope drop at MK. I mist up too- the show is so emotional!
Breakfast at Main Street Bakery is always yum! We really enjoy just sitting at the bakery enjoying your food, taking it all in and watching everyone else rush by.
I don't think we have ever made it rope drop...ever. So I love hearing about it. I got all teary-eyed just reading your description. You are very sweet for being so happy for the family who got picked. I'm sure that the moment made their whole vacation!!
I want to try those rolls!! Everyone talks about them & I want to try them. Must remember for next time.
I love Magic Kingdom's opening show and I am always holding back tears. Especially when Brooklynn starts to sing along with the big grin on her face.
I hope to one day be the Family of the day. We have been there before and seen them pick the family. I've got my fingers crossed that one day it will happen.
I get last day blues for everything! Like Christmas, I get so excited for it to come, and then on Christmas night, I cry. I get like that on my birthday and trips to Disney too. It's sad to see the time go by!!
I imagine ALL of us have that bit of sadness going on during our last days. Don't worry! You did a whole bunch of fun stuff already this morning! LOVE your few sweet moments together in the bakery! The yummy food, the scents, and score! a table!
Awww, the last day. That's always a sad day. I hate when you leave the hotel and you see all the other people checking in because you are so sad and they are so happy to be starting their vacation.
Love the Main Street bakery. So yummy! It smells so good when you walk in.
You'll be back soon!
