We slept in after our late night at EPCOT. Our room at HIFS was great. We had the hot air balloon theme. Although DD(7) did not care for the red furniture in the kids room. She said it was awful :).

Our room overlooked the pool and the girls could not wait to jump in. They had a great time.

Next DDs (12 & 7) and I headed to MGM, while DH and the baby watched football in the room. We rode ToT twice (once with FP and one 60 min wait) We also did Millionaire for the first time. We loved it!!! And we took pictures with Minnie and Pluto (with antler's on his head). A little shopping and off we went to pick up DH and baby to head to MK.

MK was open til 12:00am and we closed it down. We arrived at 8:30pm and rode BTMR, Splash Mtn, HM, & WTP.

We also lost DD(7) at Splash Mtn. DH had taken the older girls to ride with Baby Swap while I waited. It was dark and when they came back they had gotten separated somehow. That was the most frightening 10 minutes of my life. After 2 minutes, I went to find a cast member. I went to the register at the gift shop in Splash Mtn. The cast member immediately left his register and told his customers he would be back. He asked me if I wanted him to help me search for a minute or to call security immediately. I told him I would like to look for just a minute. Very soon after we met up with DH and missing DD(7). She was crying and had gone directly to a CM when she realized she was lost. NOTE HERE- DH wanted to have our group meet by the castle if anyone were separated. I insisted that the girls find a CM as I have always preached to them and any other children that we travel with. I cannot imagine DD(7) trying to find her way to the castle in that crowd in the dark. Make sure you tell your children to look for a CM with a name badge if they get lost!!!!!

I feel terrible that we did not get the names of the CM's that helped us. I will probably still write a letter to thank them for their help.

DH was very very very shakken. DD(7) was fine after a few minutes. We all held hands for the rest of our touring.
 
I'm glad you were able to find your daughter in such a short amount of time. I'm sure it was a pretty harrowing experience. Other than that, it sounds like you guys had a good day.

Thanks for sharing!
 
I can only imagine how that was in these NYE crowds we had down there! I also always remind my kids, "find a cast member with a white nametag if you get lost". They have an awesome system.
