Disney Day 5

Knowing this was our last day we knew wanted to hit it hard or a better way to say this is that we wanted to make the most of the day.  We arrived at the Magic Kingdom before the park opened (we were so proud of ourselves).  They do a fun welcome dance and song right as the park is opening.  As you are walking down Main Street all the store people are outside waving and telling you good morning.  It was so neat and so welcoming.  I probably had just as big a smile on my face as Paige (I love it when people smile and say hello, I guess it is the little things).  All the books say hit Dumbo early and that is just what we were going to do.  Dumbo had other plans and was not open right away so we opted out of that.  The rest of the day was spent flittering around picking the rides we wanted to ride one more time.  We pretty much followed the same route that we did on our first day.  We rode the Many Adventures of Pooh many times, the Carpets many times, all the other fun rides.  One of the best parts was no lines!  Maybe it is just the timing we planned, but we would not wait in a line if it was longer than 20 minutes.  Shoot, we wouldn't wait in a line at all at Small World.  I guess it was because we knew there wouldn't be a line later on.

One fun thing we got to do was go by the Christmas store (we needed to get our vacation Christmas ornaments!).  We must have hit it at the right time because the sweet store attendant let Paige decorate one of their Christmas trees.  They put a nice sign up saying it was decorated by her and she got a little postcard and ornament from the experience.

We took our normal afternoon break and then it was back to the park until past 11 pm.  Once again, poor Paige konked out before we left.  We were able to do some shopping while she slept.

Other fun things -

It only rained once during our trip and it was on this day.  We were in Tomorrowland so we hopped on over to the People Mover.  Wouldn't you know it, the People Mover got stuck/stopped.  Not a problem!  We were outside watching the rain on a covered ride.

We got to meet Paige's favorite princess, Aierl, and Eric.  While visiting with them we talked about dogs.  Yes, we talked about Ellie and Madi and they told us about their dog Max.  I love how interactive the characters are.  They try to relate and do they do a great job.  Belle even asked what Paige's favorite book was and told her she needed to keep reading.

The entire trip was so wonderful!  I know all 3 of us had a great time.  Brad even asked me before we left when we were coming back again.  But, Monday came and it was time to hit the road back home to reality!
