So......
We arrived back at the MK via the boat from Grand FLoridian.
After bag check, at the ticket booth a cast member looked at DD8 and asked if she was a "Coal Miner's daughter"...DH was wearing his WVU camo hat again.

That Boy!!!
She looked at the cast member if he had two heads...we struck up a nice conversation with the cast member. I love moments like that!!
Well, we had two fastpasses, one for Splash Mountain and the other for Space MT.
Which way did we go?!?!?
I chickened out and we headed towards Splash Mt.
It was up and running, so we jumped on and had a great ride!
It was a little bittersweet as this was the last time we would ride it for at least another two years.

So I made sure to enjoy every moment of the ride!
After Splash Mt., we headed towards Space Mt. My anxiety level is starting to rise....i feel myself getting scared...I am actually more nervous about DD5 riding it in a seat all by herself.....she is my baby girl and I am scared that she will fly out of her seat and we are in the dark, I cant see her or hold her!!!
WHAT THE HAY AM I SUPPOSE TO DO!!!
DH to the rescue...we measure her at the entrance to the fastpass line, she just makes it by a hair!! Literally!!
Then he suggests that DD8 in the front seat, DD5 in the middle seat and him, in the third seat....he can easily reach and hold DD5's shoulders...I have to carry the back pack....whew...I could handle that!
Being the paranoid mommy that I am, we REmeasured her before we lined up for the "cars"...she is A-O-K says the Cast Member!
Well, this is it...we get into our seats...
with my super "mommy" eyes, I watch the CM check DD5's seat and lapbar, DH has his hand on one of her shoulders....Yes, Houston!! We are go for launch!!!
Wait, no we are not....I had to have the CM help me with DH's backpack and the lap bar....why do I feel like I got the short end of the stick on this deal.
Okay...finally we are off...
Houston, we have landed.....
and I was not that crazy about it...

The only thing that I can think of is that I tensed my neck with the oncoming turns and twists and ups and downs...so when I got off..my neck hurt...I am still going to ride it next time we are at MK but this time I am going to stay relaxed and go with the flow. Literally!
I was excited that I finally did it! The group that got off before us was a rowdy group of friends and when they saw DD5, they all gave her high-5's, we all laughed! I even called my mom to tell her that I FINALLY rode Space Mt. She was tickled and we told her about some of the other great stuff that happened. I didnt tell her about the bad stuff.
We then rode the TTA one last time and then headed to the castle to catch Wishes and the Parade....We specifically waited on the bridge to see Tinkerbelle fly during the fireworks.....
the little hussy didnt show! How rude!!
We did get a couple good pictures!!
After the fireworks and parade, we headed over to Peter Pan's Flight...we still ended up waiting 90 mins for that ride.....
WHY, would someone please explain to my WHY the wait for that ride is sooo damn long?!?
After Peter Pan, we said goodbye to the MK and got on the bus back to our resort. It was sad to leave but in my heart and mind, I knew the next time I would be back, it would be after my college graduation!
It was a quiet ride back to the resort, we walked slowly back to our room...savoring every last minute, absorbing the sights, sounds and smells....
I bathed the girls and tucked them in bed...then I set out our clothes for tomorrow and packed up the heaping mound of dirty clothes, plus all the extra stuff we bought....

I all but sat on the suitcases to close them!
I set the alarm and went to bed knowing that in 24 hours we would be sleeping in our own beds....what a lovely thought......
