All good things must come to an end...


And we ended our trip in the same place we began...the Magic Kingdom. It just seemed fitting to finish our grand gathering (you have to have eight people in your party to become one), named Amy's Army, at Mickey's main park. He even has his house there!

Daisy Duck! Camden's favorite!

First we made sure we went to all the attractions we missed on Monday. So we began in Tomorrowland by getting fastpasses for Space Mountain. While waiting for this, we got to go on Buzz Lightyear's ride, Stitch's ride, and were able to attend the Laugh Floor with Monsters Inc. It was there that Dad got designated "That Guy!" He was constantly being put on the screen during the show and afterward given a sticker that said "I'm that guy." Workers throughout the park kept saying "hey, you're that guy!"
That Guy!

Lunch was right before we all hit the tracks at the speedway and then on to the Goofy roller coaster. It was from this vantage point that we discovered the teacups were what were behind the fenced in area. Although disappointed we couldn't ride them, we trekked on to see the Presidents (Camden refused to go in since the parade was taking place!), and then on to Splash Mountain again!
Dave and Camden race together!

Camden learned to wave vigorously at every parade!


Our dinner reservations at the Crystal Palace were at 6:00, so we took the train to Main Street and headed there. Throughout the day, Nathan and Declan were trying to trade pins with Disney workers. They had a lot of fun doing this. I had heard that the workers had to trade with you no matter what, and then found out that the pins don't really belong to them; that is why they have to do this.

Finally getting to see Piglet!



Everyone's favorite bear!

Dinner was again delicious and we got to share it with Pooh and friends. We did have to leave the park right after eating, however, because they were having the Not so scary Mickey's Halloween party. (This is an extra price). It did look a little scary for our group!

Since we were finished early, we just had to go to Downtown Disney one more time. Last minute shopping and Ghirardelli's milkshakes topped our evening off around midnight.Downtown Disney


It was truly a fun trip. Very magical and in a whole other world. Nathan and Camden have been watching Disney movies all week because we realized that they have not seen most of the movies that the rides were based on. Nathan has been playing Star Wars with his lightsaber all week (Camden is catching onto that to; good thing we have three now for all the boys in this house.) Although never having seen The Little Mermaid movie, Camden is always singing "Under the Sea" after seeing the musical! And of course we all want to go back! I guess I had better get back into couponing!!
