For me the last evening is always Epcot and this means a last viewing of IllumiNations and then a slow walk, soaking in the sights, sounds and memories from this and other magical visits while heading to the International Gateway.:mickey:

For us it was always the Tea Cups, but now that our oldest daughter is over 40 inches and a Splash Mt. junkie, I think things are going to change.:thumbsup:

I always end in the MK too. TTA is what I ride last. Just relaxing and soaking up the MK one last time.

Our tradition started as just ending with Spaceship Earth, but the last several trips,
here is our tradition: We decide that since we've already seen Illuminations at least twice (never fails) we'll leave right before it to get a head's up on the crowds. Then as we're leaving the park, we decide to do Spaceship Earth one last time, since we always end with that. Then, as we get off we remember that this ride takes longer than most, and we are now leaving the parks with every single person who just got done watching Illuminations. You think we'd learn, but we seem to do this every time.

We always spend the last day at the MK and depending on where we are at in the park we either go to the POTC or the HM. Whichever we are closest to we go to.

I always spend my last night in MK, because it;s so magical to me. Back when it was still around, the Skyway was the last thing we would ride, so we could get a nice view of the park before we left. Now, there isn't anything specific, though it's usually a classic ride, then we take a slow walk out, listening to the music, taking a billion last-minute photos and I cry like a big baby.

Although it's not planned this way, we always end our trip by riding Splash Mountain . . .

Great question daughter.

When we stay at a MK resort, besides the monorail, TTA is probably the last thing we ride.

We always spend our last evening at the MK (our favorite park!). We have several last rides that we always do that last evening. POTC, HM, Splash Mountain and then for our last rides we do Peter Pan and finish off with Its a Small World (also our 1st rides!). Then we get on the monorail and all cry like babies! :secret:

We always wrap up at Magic Kingdom...usually Big Thunder Mountain RR or Space Mountain. Then we take one last walk through all the shops on the way out...just to get those last minute souvenirs. :mickey:

We start and end our trips in MK. I like to try to do Philharmagic now as a close to the last thing since it fills me with such Disney magic! :mickey: Our last trip we alternated between Splash and Space, grabbing fast passes for each after each ride, and I think we rode each one 3 times before heading back to DME and the real world. It was great!

Our last ride is almost always Spaceship Earth. Unfortunately, it will be closed next time we're there, so I guess we'll have to figure something else out.

We always end at MK with the fireworks and then spend time walking the gift shops for last minute stuff we really don't need but feel like we do.....

We begin and end our trips in MK with IASW. The ride has senitmental value to our family as it was my great-grandmother's favorite at the age of 89 when we took her several years ago. We ride through, think of her & cry a bit.:mickey:

Magic Kingdom is always our last park to visit. No specific ride but we have to end our trip at the Magic Kingdom.

I guess my visits aren't as routine and predictable. It all depends on when/where I happen to be, what the lines are like. In fact, I'd wager that it's not been the same ride in any of our visits.

WAIT!!!! It has been the same final ride ..... it's the bus ride back to whichever resort we're staying at.

Spaceship Earth.

It is a pretty long ride and gives you time to think about the good times you had on the trip!

IASW. Our DD (4) made us go on the ride 4 times.;) It was her favorite, so we made it our last.

Our last day is always the MK with the last ride being Pooh. We have done this since our oldest first trip and we are still doing it to end the trip.

For some reason, the last park we always do is MK. The last ride we did last time was PPF. That will most likely happen this time again.

We usually end off at Epcot with no specific last ride there. Its whatever ride we have left to do.

Oh, except of course the monorail on the way back to the Poly.

We usually end with Pirates unless we have a fast pass for Buzz before we leave.

For the last few years the last thing we experience is Stitch's Great Escape. I love seeing that little blue furball one last time before we head home. :stitch2:

I always like starting and ending my Disney trip with The Magic Kingdom. When it's the last night, I like to take a stroll through the castle if I can, just get one last look at the sights. There is no ride in particular that I have to hit before leaving, but usually I'll go for either the Haunted Mansion, TTA, or Space Mountain.

We always begin and end with POTC. I don't know how that became our tradition, it's just something we have ended up doing. In fact, we changed our parks around a little bit for this year because we weren't going to be at MK until the second day. That just wasn't going to work, so now it is the morning at MK then over to Epcot for the extra magic evening hours.

TTA if in MK
Spaceship Earth if in EPCOT.

We always end the trip at MK. The last ride is which ever is the last one we can get on before they close the line off. Then we shop, get an ice cream and sit and watch the castle change and people watch. :mickey:

We always finish our trips at Epcot, watching Illuminations. Usually, that day begins at Magic Kingdom in the morning and finishes at Eppie in the evening. Since most of the night is spent absorbing AS MUCH ATMOSPHERE AS POSSIBLE, we usually don't ride many rides. Maybe El Rio del Tiempo. Afterwards, we linger in MouseGear, our favorite park shop, for as long as possible!

That's it. But this post is making me sad because I'm focusing on the last day!!!!

The MK is ALWAYS our last park and the last ride often winds up being Space Mountain.

We usually have an early evening flight and are in the MK until about 2:00 or 3:00. On that last day we HAVE TO ride Splash, POTC and HM.

We always end our trips at The Studios with lunch at the Prime Time after ToT and RnR. The first few times were by accident but now it is our tradition.
