Last Day

Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. -Walt Disney

We had such an amazing time at DisneyWorld it was sad to leave.  This was the best family vacation ever and as sad as it was to leave DisneyWorld it was the fun family time that I was going to miss most.  The seeing the joy and excitement in my kids and the quality time that we had together.  I'm already thinking about what we can do for our next vacation!

On our last day in Florida our flight didn't leave till 8pm so we still had a whole day to play!
The kids and I spent the morning at the pool while Brad packed up our suitcases.


 Logan and I found this adorable little turtle on our way to the bathrooms.
 After a fun morning at the pool we took the afternoon to go back to Hollywood Studios one more time since it was close to our hotel.  I'm so glad we did.  We hit all our favorite rides there one last time.

My all time favorite picture from the trip 💕

 while at the ABC studios eating lunch guess who finally lost his tooth!
 We had to do Toy Story Land again!! Slinky and Toy Story Mania

 Thought this was the cutest "are you tall enough" sign I've ever seen!





 Kids loved the talking Mr. Potato Head while waiting in line for Toy Story Mania

Rode Star Tours again



And last but not least we had to do the Tower of Terror for Carson one last time.


It was a quick day at Hollywood Studios, but oh so fun and the perfect way to end our vacation!  

Had to get a picture with Tanner in front of Mickey with his tooth so he'll always remember that he lost a tooth at DisneyWorld.





 Heading back to our hotel before the bus comes to take us to the airport.  
Goodbye Yacht Club you were an absolute blast to stay at!


 Bus ride back to the airport.  Had to have his latest toy with him all the way home.

Epcot

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.- Walt Disney

We came to DisneyWorld during the Wine and Food festival and although Epcot was not as fun for the kids, we sure did enjoy all the yummy food it had to offer!!





Touring through the countries.  England!
Mary Poppins was a hoot to talk too!  We told her we are excited for her new movie and she said she was too that she did a marvelous job and that its very good.


Its a sad day when your kids ask you what a pay phone is!
There was no line to see Mickey so we just had to see him again!  We got to spend more time with all the characters this time.  And once again he loved the boys shirts!  He thought Tanner's was extra funny because he disappears in it so he hid behind the wall pretending to disappear.




Goofy was a blast!  He made us parents get in the picture as well.




while waiting for Minnie Goofy kept coming up and tapping Brad on the shoulders,  it was funny and cute!

There was the most absolute cutest moment with Minnie and Logan, where Minnie was on her knees and Logan gave her the biggest hug, unfortunately they were switching photographers real quick and failed to capture that moment.

Minnie however did not like Tanner's shirt!  She was so sad that Mickey was disappearing!  The photographer had to reassure her that the real Mickey was safe.
Minnie loved my dress (one that my friend gave me) because it had tiny Minnie Mouses on it.  I was surprised she could tell, but she gave me a big hug and kiss on the check for it!


Next up was Baymax!  Logan was a little too scared to meet him, but Carson and Tanner like the movie so they were excited.
Having an eye staring contest. Pretty sure Baymax won 


Fast Track

While Dad had the two older boys, Logan and I had fun in the aquarium and riding a couple Nemo rides.


Logan loves looking at the sharks and fish
Back at the food and wine festival!  It was super busy on the country side of Epcot.


Norway!  You had to get picture in front of the troll.  It's tradition.  I know I have a picture like this when I came to DisneyWorld when I was younger.  Norway also had the very popular Frozen ride.  Popular with everyone but my boys,  They hate Frozen, but I thought it was cute.

while sitting down, eating some yummy food and enjoying this beautiful view we heard that our newest niece Aria was born!  
Then while walking around in the country Italy Brad and I were reminiscing about our trip a few years back when the next thing we know Tanner throws up!!  See our trip wasn't all roses.  He'd been complaining his stomach hurt, but we just thought that was his excuse so he didn't have to give up his seat in the stroller for Carsons turn. Thankfully our hotel was in walking distance so we could quickly take the boys back to the hotel. It was around 6 pm and we did about most everything in Epcot.  Then while taking the elevator back up to our room, Tanner threw up again. in. the. elevator!! Lovely.

Being Food and Wine Festival Epcot was open later then usual so after giving the boys a bath, washing the stroller and putting the boys to bed, Brad and I went back out to enjoy the evening by ourselves.  We got a creme brûlée in France and enjoyed seeing the different countries at night as well as the fireworks show.  It was nice going out just ourselves.  We had fun!

Brad:
Lobster Roll from America
Teriyaki spam from Hawaii
