We went through our usual morning routine and the line to the bus was not long at all - in fact, we were the first ones on the bus that day!!
This was the first day we actually had to stand and wait for the park to open - they didn't open early and we were there early so it was a wait to get in!!
The first ride we raced to was "Soarin" - one of my favorite rides!! Everyone loved it and we actually rode it twice!! The lines were not bad at all and our next ride was the "Living With The Land" which I knew wouldn't excite the kids too much but it's a gentle boat ride through plants and vegetable gardens being grown in unique ways!! And after that ride, Glenn was signed up to take a walking tour "behind the scenes" at this place! So we left him there and went to "The Seas" to ride the Nemo ride and look at the aquariums.
We tried to re-create the same photo that Jaime's had taken years ago but the sun was in the wrong spot and it didn't turn out fantastic - at least we tried!!
Glenn enjoyed his tour and met back up with us for our first fast pass of Spaceship Earth and then on to Mission Space for our next fast pass! Thoroughly enjoyed both of those rides!!
We ate lunch at the Electric Umbrella and walked around just enjoying the park - it wasn't super busy as the crowd level was a 2! The kids found several places to do their pressed pennies also!
We headed into the World Showcase later and did the cute boat ride at Mexico and went on to Norway for our last fast pass of Frozen Ever After! The lines there were extremely long - Glenn and I did not do this one 2 years ago as the lines were too long so it was nice to basically walk on this ride and enjoy it!!
Mid-afternoon found us at France where the bakery was - YUM!!! We thoroughly enjoyed a rest and having these sweets!!
I had bought "passports" as soon as we got into the park - they're kind of a replica of regular passports and you take them to the Kidcot stations which are located in every country!! There the gals give you a postcard with a fact about their country and a place to color on the back and they'll sign your passport with your name written in their language and stamp it!! The kids loved doing this and it was fun to find each station in each country!
The guys were DONE after a while so they went to have a beer while Jill and I walked around the lake to each country!
Check out our cute Halloween t-shirts!!
Having fun in Canada - that's Parker's stuffed animal in the top hole!!
We went to the "Coca-Cola" place where you can taste test cola from around the world - most of them were pretty strange tasting and one was absolutely horrible!!!! I did like the melon tasting one!
By late afternoon not only were the kids done, but Jill and I were exhausted - we walked a total of 23,000 steps that day if that tells you anything!!!!! We ended up walking back to Mexico to eat which was very good!!! Robby wanted to go do the Test Track with Parker - Glenn wanted to just sit - and Jill, Aleah and I wanted to shop!!! So we all went different ways and met back around Norway where we got a spot right next to the iron railing around the water!! It was a great place for the evening performance and we were all so tired that we just sat on the cement and relaxed!!
Here's a cute picture of Parker at the Norway shop!
We saw Illuminations that night when it got dark and it was amazing!!! What a way to end Disney World!!!
Sleep was super short that night as we had a 3:15am bus ride to the airport - Disney makes sure you get there in PLENTY of time!!! We were all pretty tired and tried to sleep at the airport until it was time to get on our plane!! But we had a non-stop flight back to Denver so that was great!!
What an AWESOME time at WDW with Jill, Robby, Aleah and Parker!! Definitely one for the memory books!!!!!!
