Bob Evans Breakfast

Nothing like a quick breakfast stop at Bob Evans to get you a reinvigorated for the last four hour drive home. We're going to make it I think.

Homeward Bound

Packed up, mini golf, last meal in Florida at CiCi's Pizza and go.

Until Next Time, Thanks Disney!

The night has ended and we are done. The whole family is tired and looking forward to getting back to the resort for some sleep. Good night, Disney, & thanks for the memories.

The Final Ride: Spash Mountain

For our final ride of the night we chose to go on Splash Mountain. We have a FastPass for this ride so our wait time in line was only about 10 minutes. We were able to get the front two rows on this ride. We found out was that in the second row the right seat you get soaked. The previous ride, Benjamin and Mike rode in the seat behind the second row and watched the lady sitting there get soaked. This time the water seat was for Benjamin. He also got soaked. At least we know the ride is consistent. Now we are on our way to find the monorail so we can get back to our car.

The Barnstormer Roller-Coaster

The Barnstormer is a neat coaster and we saw a parade on our way to Splash Mountain.

Another Round

We had time so we got on the Tomorrowland Speedway one more time. It was a lot of fun again. After this one, the party split.  Jaden and Sandy went to the Lilo and Stitch show while Mike, Ben, and Caleb rode on the Barn Stormer Roller Coaster.

A Big Bang in the Night

At 9 o'clock they presented a firework show called Wishes.  We found a seat between the castle and Space Mountain to watch the show. Fireworks are going off on both sides of us. Over the castle we had a chance to see individual flyers and Tinkerbell. While behind us there were bigger more explosive fireworks going on. Caleb kept saying, "Don't be fooled by the little ones over the castle, look behind you to see the big fireworks!" It was really nice seeing him observe what's going on and helping to guide us to make the choices on what we watch. The show was good and we even had time to enjoy our snack while watching.
