It was SO hard to get up this morning.
But it was our last day of the trip and we wanted to make the most of it so there would be no sleeping in!
Magic Kingdom was going to be having early morning hours so we needed to get there in time for that before 8am.
And Doug's sister Melinda was in Disney World with her family and today was our only day of overlap at the same park so we wanted to make sure we had time to see them.
Doug got up at 5am and got in the shower.
I got up at 5:30 and got ready and then started packing again to finish up what I had stopped at 1am.
We got the girls up around 7. They had a really hard time waking up too.
While I got them dressed and ready to go, Doug took the 2 bags that were going to be checked on the plane to the Magic Express service to check them in.
When he got back we did last checks of our room and then said goodbye to our home away from home and took the rest of our luggage to guest services to hold while we were at the park.
Someone is not happy that it is our last day!
Abi brought the balloon that she had been given along with us because she wanted to give it to her cousin Lizzie.
We took the bus to Magic Kingdom and got there about 8:05/8:10 so we were able to just go right in.
We tried to just soak everything in as we walked in.
We stopped to get some pictures on Main street but they didn't work out too well because of that balloon. It was so funny.
Blocked castle!
I have no head!
We walked down Main Street slowly.
Looking at everything.
And just feeling the joy you can get there.
Off to the right here you can see that little building. That is where we watched the Elsa show from the other day that worked out so well!
Our first stop was, of course, Winnie the Pooh!
I had a fast pass for it later in the day but we knew that Maddy would want to ride it more than once so we figured we should go on it first thing as well.
We had a very short wait.
We decided to go right for Peter Pan next.
Fantasyland felt empty.
It was awesome.
Doug had been texting his sister since we arrived and we knew they had ran straight for 7 Dwarves Mine train and Anna and Elsa so as we were walking toward the area where the Anna and Elsa meet and greet is I said, "Hey your sister is in line over there somewhere."
Then I thought I heard our names and I looked over by the carousel and she was running toward us with her little girl Lizzie.
They got through the line really fast.
It was so much fun to see them.
Abi gave Lizzie the balloon.

The girls adore their cousin. She is just so sweet and tiny and we have to remind them not to carry her around like a little doll.
Melinda was there with her husband Jake and their three kids (Ian, Alex, and Lizzie) and her in laws.
Doug is good friends with her father in law and that is him in the back with Doug. Doug was giving him advice on where to go next.
Doug, Steve, and Melinda.
Melinda said she and Lizzie would ride Peter Pan with us so we went and got in line.
It was about a 20 minute wait in line.
While in line, Abi and Maddy traded pins with this cast member.
And they had so much fun playing with Lizzie.
Their family moved to Michigan over the summer so it had been a long time since we had seen them.
They had a lot to talk about after the ride.
A cast member was blowing bubbles when we got out of the ride so the girls ran around for a few minutes enjoying that. I took a LOT of pictures of this.
I wanted another shot of Rapunzel's tower.
We went to ride It's a Small World and Melinda and Lizzie went off to meet the rest of their family with plans to meet up again later...
but Lizzie did not like that and wanted to be back with her cousins again.
So, Melinda ran to catch up with us and they made it to us just as we were getting on our boat.
Abi and Maddy were so happy to have Lizzie back again.
ADORABLE!
Doug and Melinda
So far it was shaping up to be a really fun day!
