Disney Finale

Thursday we had severe storms all day. Like, for real storms. Like, tornadoes right around us. So we slept in and hung out at the hotel most of the day. Finally some of us decided we'd rather get wet and take the risk of being struck by lightning (I mean, you only live once right?) than sit in a hotel room at DISNEY WORLD. So me, Bruce, Paul and Gram were off in our ponchos to have some wet Disney fun!


That night we enjoyed a seafood buffet at Disney's Beach Club Resort. We feasted on some all you can eat crab legs and Paul reminisced about falling in love with me the first time he saw me eat crab legs. I guess that's a story for another time. Anywho, it finally stopped raining in time for us to see the Fantasmic show that night at Hollywood Studios. If you ever go to Disney, you won't want to miss that one. It was the best of all that we saw!

Friday was a long day. We missed so much time the day before because of rain so we knew we'd have to hit it long and hard our last day to get everything in that we wanted to do. We got up really early and spent most of the day at Hollywood Studios. My brother and I have some awesome memories from the last time we went there, which was 15 years ago. Gram rode Tower of Terror with us and we thought that was the coolest thing. We were hoping to relive it again, but didn't know if she'd be able to do it. Who were we kidding?



Rockin Roller Coaster was another favorite. The only reason Gram didn't ride that was because of how jerky it was. The first time we rode it, the lady working the height check wouldn't let Bryan on. He was so mad! That boy isn't afraid of anything. Later we went back and he wore my brother's hat and in a not so obvious kind of way, stood on his tip toes just a little and managed to get on!


Here is the whole fam at Hollywood Studios.


After Hollywood Studios we went to Epcot and had dinner in Mexico and stayed for their Illuminations show, another one you won't want to miss if you go to Disney! From there everybody else called it a night and Paul and I headed back to the Magic Kingdom for the electric parade, yet another that we didn't want to miss. It did not disappoint. I'm telling y'all, Disney does everything so perfect!



After the parade we stayed and rode Space Mountain a few more times. It was about 1:30 that morning before we got it bed and we had to get up about 6:00 to load the car and check out. We had one final grand gathering on our last day. It was breakfast at Tony's Town Square. We got to meet and take pictures with Mickey and Cinderella in a private room before breakfast.




Then Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Daffy were all at our breakfast.




Goofy is my favorite. I'm sure you're not surprised.


It was so much fun and such a perfect ending to a wonderful vacation at the happiest place on earth!
