What is the very last thing you do when you leave Disney

[ransam]

I was just wondering if any one had any traditions for the last thing you do on your last day at Disney.
For me, i end it at Magic Kingdom. i basically take a small lap around the park, ending in front of the castle. then i walk down main street toward the entrance of the park.
then I just sit on a bench and people watch...and kind of relive the past week. At that time i usually start making my plans for my next trip!

anyone else do anything on their last day?

We either end our last day at the MK or Epcot. This time it was Epcot and we just walked out of the park super duper slow, and taking in all the smells, sounds, and sights as we went along.

If we end it at the MK (even if it is not our last day but the last time we will be in the park) we just walk down MS looking in all the shops in the evening before the park closes. Personally, I always make sure that once I get to the end of the MS I make sure to look back at the castle and, I know this might sound cheezy, but I think or under my breath say "Thanks Walt, see you next year."

Great topic!

We always grab a snack at the CR. Go to MK for one last ride. Hop on the monorail and take a few trips around. Then we load up the car and wave by as we drive down the road.

I have to go to MK to see the castle before I leave. We can go to another park, but I have to at least be in the MK for a few minutes before ending my trip. I have to do the same at the start of my trip. Must go to MK for a few to see the castle then we can go somewhere else. The castle is always the first and last thing I have to see. I wish I were there now...

I usually hit the morning EMH park with my oldest and get a few rides in. Sometimes it's Everest. Sometimes Rockin Roller Coaster. When the park opens to day guests, we go back to the room and head for the ME bus stop, cause it's time to leave.

That's when we all cry.

cry I always end my vacation with Wishes and shopping in all the main street shops!

We usually end with a nice and relaxing breakfast at Kona Cafe. It's starts the day off nice before either a long drive back home or fighting the airport crowds and sercurity.

We're a all four park before we leave family. We each pick one of our favorites and get on it before we board that DME bus!

We don't end with any specific park, but I find myself taking pictures of everything and anything. I can always tell when I look at my pictures after we get back where the leaving Disney blues starts.

We've just so happened to do the same thing on our last several trips. We drive so we always put off leaving as long as we can, and we've found ourselves at the Poly last before we hit the road. We go take a spin on the monorail, do a bit of shopping, walk around, look at the castle across the lagoon, and throw some coins into the fountain wishing to return before we head out and hop in the car for the long ride home.

Since we live close by, we usually make day trips, but at least once a year, we stay for a week. Then we always end with Epcot and the Spaceship Earth.

...Throw a coin or two in the fountain at the entrance of the Polynesian Great ceremonial house...

I too always end my vacation in Magic Kingdom, And I ride the boat back to the mk parking lot. And I take lots of pictures of the castle while on the boat and then when we get to the dock there is very nice views to take pictures of the castle. And of course one traditions that I always do when I leave wdw, Is of course.... Cry
I can't help it, No matter how long we have been there, Or how much fun I have had, I still leave crying. I just really really loved Disney World!

I always buy a mylar balloon for my room on the first day. The last day I scout the lobby for a family checking in, and with the parents permission, I ask a child to take care of the balloon for me. Everybody smiles, and it extends my disney magic just a little longer.

i am really the same way about the castle.... as weird is it is. a few years ago i took my brother to orlando....we went to seaworld the first day, and as much as i love seaworld, i was really disappointed in it...then i realized that it wasn't seaworld, just that all i could think of was magic kingdom and how much i really wanted to go there...that's why Magic kingdom has to be the first thing i do on vacation.
we're going this december....checking into the hotel on Saturday afternoon, and first stop? guess where? ha

For years, I used to have a tradition of being sure to get my hand stamped when I left the last park the last time. I always told myself it was just in case we got to the airport and our flight was cancelled. That way we could just go back to WDW and head to the parks again. But now we don't have any tradition. I almost wish they still had the ability to do hand stamps. I used to wake up at home the next morning and relive my vacation.

Cry and start planning our next Disney trip.
