The McAlister's Take Disney - Part 5

Day 5:  We're Magic Kingdom bound to finish up where we left off.  They had Extra Magic Hours, so we were able to hit a few rides before our breakfast at Crystal Palace.  The kids had been dying to drive the cars, so off to the Speedway we go. After they got their adrenaline rush we headed off for breakfast with Winnie the Pooh and the 100-Acre Wood crew.

After breakfast we enjoyed everything that Adventure Land had to offer!  Here's Pirates of Caribbean!

The Country Bear Jamboree

What better way to relax after a day in the park, than kicked back on the beach, under a beach umbrella, while the kids dig holes in the sand!  I tried to talk the boys in parasailing, but there were no takers.

We ended our Disney Vacation at the same place we started it, Epcot.  Since we didn't have dinner plans for that night, we ate our way around the world stopping at each country's pavillion for a sample before moving on to the next.  

The girls enjoyed feeding the birds the left overs along the way.

On our way out, we rode Space Ship Earth for our last ride!

The ball was really pretty at night.

Day 6:  It was a slow morning.  We all got up for breakfast reservations at The Wave of American Flavors in the hotel lobby.  I did some last minute shopping at the gift store.  Brenna was devastated  that she couldn't take the balloon home with us.  I thought it would be a good idea if they let the balloons go from the balcony and watch them as they fly over Disney.  Turns out that just made things worse for Brenna.  The combination of exhaustion, leaving Disney, losing her balloon, and saying good bye to Ella and Leah got the best of her and we had a teary departure from the hotel.  By 10 o'clock the limo was there to take us to the airport.  The ride back was much more subdued that the ride there.  The kids were tired and alittle bummed that it was all over.  

As of this post, it's been two weeks since our Disney trip.  Brenna asks to go back at least once a day.  When you ask her what her favorite part of Disney was she says the playgrounds!  I couldn't be more happy with the wonder and magic that the trip brought for Brenna.  I'm also so thankful that Jacob and I treated ourself to trip before Brenna came along, because the experiences where completely different.  And while I loved our Disney Adventure, I think our next trip will be a few years away.  But, even then it will be a whole new experience for Brenna with different rides and a different prespective.  Disney just has so much to offer.  

That's it!  If you've made it this far, thanks for sharing the magic with us!
