Disneyworld...the last day and a half

On Monday, Presidents Day, we went to Magic Kingdom. I had read that Friday -Sunday were the most crowded days at MK so we waited until Monday, forgetting completely about PD and most of central Florida was there! However, we got there right when it opened and had an hours worth of no lines and crowds in Tomorrowland.
Of course we had to get the obligatory picture in front of Main Street USA.



.....and the one at the entrance.

("Let the Memories Begin" was on every resort entrance, trash can, napkin,etc.)

One of the boys favorite rides was the cars.

Tate was my chaueffer

Grant and David were in the car behind us.

While David went to ride Space Mountain, the boys and I rode the Astro Orbiter. It went a little faster than we thought but we all liked it!

We found Buzz Lightyear! He was the only character we stood in line for, yes we aren't patient parents, there were miles of lines to stand in for all of the characters, but we didn't need to "talk" to them all, right?

The boys enjoyed high fiving Buzz.

Another area the boys enjoyed was Tom Sawyer Island. We took at boat over to it and their were trails, and forts to play in.

Later in the afternoon, Grant fell asleep on David so they went back to the hotel and Tate and I stayed. We had gotten fast passes that morning to ride Peter Pan's Flight at 3:00 so we got to do that- twice! Here we are about to get in our flying chariot.


We didn't have reservations for dinner Monday night so we went into Downtown Disney. It was really cool, if we go back again I would like to spend more time there. We went to a seafood restaurant that took the Disney Dining plan we had so we didn't have to spend more money. The boys were really tired.....

On Tuesday, our last day there. Tate and David decided they wanted to play at the pool all day. We had promised Grant the first day at Hollywood Studios, that we would sign him up for the Jedi Training Academy that our friends, Carter and Ben, had gotten to do when we were there. In order to do this you must get to the Jedi sign ups first thing in the morning to be assigned a time to come back later that day. Fortunately, we got to the park at 8:15 thinking it opened at 8 but it opened at 9. I was surprised to see so many people there an hour before the park opened! When they opened the gates G and I ran to the Jedi training center ( I was scolded by and employee for running.... he must not have kids!) They only do the training once an hour so I really hoped that our time would be before noon so we didn't have to stay there all day and it was! We got the 10:15 time! We had time to go back and ride the Toy Story Mania ride again!

Getting suited up

Getting ready to fight Darth Vader using what he learned

The class of 12 dwindled to 9 when Darth Vader came out, turned out a few kids were afraid of the Dark Side even though they asked when you sign up if you can handle it.

The whole class passed! We got a diploma and everything!

The last night we went to Epcot for dinner and a few rides. The boys were worn out by this point...and so were the parents!

At the Orlando Airport the morning we flew home. They didn't want to leave.

I actually told them to give me a sad face, this isn't really how they looked that day.

We had an absolute BLAST! Three of us would like to go back but the man who paid for it says that was it. We might be able to work on him, though!
