Disney Day 7 Last Day At Disney

Friday was our last day at this magical place. We weren't ready to go home yet! We used Friday to ride favorite rides, watch our favorite shows again, and meet more characters. Mylea had a list of things and people she wanted to see again before we headed home.
We spent the day at the Magic Kingdom. When we arrived at the park, Mary Poppins was near the Town Square. Mylea had been wanting to see Mary Poppins since we arrived. We finally found her! Mary Poppins was the only person, other than all the Princess', that Mylea would take a picture with on our last trip. Mylea ran up to Mary and was so excited to talk to her. We were the only ones in line so Mylea got to spend about 5-10 minutes with her. They talked about the seven dwarfs, dress-up clothes, Mylea's hair thread, and what she wanted to do at the park that morning. It was fun getting to spend more than a couple of minutes with a character.
We walked over to Tomorrow Land hoping to ride the Buzz Lightyear ride, but it wasn't working that moment (or the rest of the day). While in Tomorrow Land, Mylea spotted Stitch and just had to go meet him.
Across the walkway, we saw Chip and Dale. Mylea got to dance with Chip while Dale signed her autograph book.

The parks have beautiful landscaping throughout.
After covering ground in Tomorrow Land, we headed across the park to Frontier Land in search of Jessie from Toy Story. While we arrived, Jessie was by herself. Within a few minutes of Mylea getting to meet Jessie, Woody showed up! Yeah!!! Two for the wait of one!
After Frontier Land, we walked across the bridge to Adventure Land. We were wanting to ride Pirates of the Caribbean one last time. Mylea wasn't at all happy about getting on this dark water ride.
We made it on the ride and survived the quick drop in the dark. After the dark drop, Mylea loved it.
Hanging outside of the Pirates was Pirate Goofy. Mylea couldn't wait to take a picture with him.
Time for a Mickey Mouse ice cream break.
While in Adventure Land, we got the chance to meet Jasmine and Aladdin.
Daddy and My rode Aladdin's Magic Carpet.
Time for the afternoon dance party. Mylea was able to dance with Jessie during the middle of the parade.



We headed back to Tomorrow Land to see if the Buzz Lightyear ride was up and running yet. It wasn't so we took a walking break and rode the People Mover through Tomorrow Land.
Next we were off to Fantasy Land to ride more rides before the day was over. Our first stop was the Winnie The Pooh ride. This is a neat ride because they have play areas through out the line. It makes for a fast moving line and the kids can stay entertained.


After Fantasy Land, we headed back to the castle to catch the 3:00 parade. Mylea found her a front row seat and enjoyed seeing the characters one last time.





After the parade, we were all HOT and tired. We headed back to the resort to cool off and clean off before our last planned surprise that evening. While waiting for our bus, Mylea checked her map to map sure we covered everything at Disney.

Disney Day 7 Last Night At Disney

After we rested up and clean up at the resort, we headed back to the bus to make one last trip to the Magic Kingdom. The park closed at 7:00 for the day. We had made arrangements to surprise Mylea and take her back to the park from 7:00pm-12:00am for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.
This park party is a time to trick or treat throughout the park. You can also ride all the rides and watch a Halloween parade. The shows and parades were all about the villains. We used this time to meet characters that you do not see normally out in the park.
We meet Jane and Terek from Tarzan. Mylea had no clue who they were but made it clear that she wanted a picture with them.

Timon from Lion King was out and about in Adventure Land.
One neat thing about these special nights is that the Prince's are with the Princess'. This was our first time to meet the Princes. Mylea got to meet Cinderella and Prince Charming.
Snow White and The Prince. Mylea wants to know why his name is the Prince. She keeps telling me that The Prince is not his first name.

Flynn Rider and Rapunzel asked Mylea to thread Rapunzel's hair.

In Frontier Land, Woody was hosting a dance party with a surprise visitor!

Hanging out with Jessie and Woody again.

And the surprise visitor, Bullseye, was a hit!!!
Mylea was happy to finally meet Bullseye.
Also in Frontier Land were all the Seven Dwarfs. We have never seen all of the dwarfs together... not even in the parades!
Mylea had fun with Grumpy and Dopey.
All seven were there, I just couldn't get them all in my camera frame.
After Frontier Land, we found a spot to watch the Halloween parade. It was a parade based on the villains and was really dark. It was alright.....not my favorite. When the parade was over, we went on a mission in search of LotsoBear. We heard he was near the castle ..... but we missed him by a few minutes. He was the one character we really wanted to see during the Halloween Night. Mylea wasn't happy about him being gone! We walked over to Tomorrow Land to ride the Buzz Lightyear ride (which was finally working again). After the ride, Mylea noticed a dance party going on so we headed over to see who all we could find.


After the party, it was time to head back to the resort. The park was closing for the night and we were headed home the next morning. Before heading to the airport, Mylea let her Mickey balloon go to Leightyn.

We had a great time at Disney. We made many new memories and thought about past memories. It was fun to have a trip for Mylea before the new baby arrives. Mylea is already asking when we get to go back. I have told her that it will be two years. She thinks we should go as soon as the baby comes because "she has lots to show the baby and many characters the baby needs to meet". It's gonna be a long two years for Mylea Jo!!!!
