    I'm sitting around the firepit in front of Sanaa, the kids are watching the animals waving their fairygodmother wands (love the dollar store glowing sticks)... trying to write my notes....

    Ok, I quit for tonight. I need sleep and we had a near disastar at the firepit.... More about it after I recharge...

    Tomorrow is our LAST DAY...... We decided on Magic Kingdom from opening to closing. We did have a plan to eat at Sanaa but, I just cancelled it because we will still be at MK I'm sure. We'll eat along the "left side" of the hub somewhere during our travels, do some shopping (finally) and chase down the last of our must do characters... Princess Tiana, Tinkerbell and hopefully other fairies, Ariel and Jessie. And about a million more photopass shots!

    We also will try to knock of some of our "firsts" list items... like Tom Sawyer Island for te kids, ride the Main Street Trolly, etc....

    I will not leave until I have some hand dipped ice cream either.

    What is so awesome about this trip is how my kids have been and how much family time we have had. NOTHING can replace these moments together and they are worth every hard earned penny and sacrafice that DH and I have made to be able to provide our kids (and each other) with this time and memories.

    awesome little moments all week. I have random sayings in my notebook from the kids. and random little sentences of things that happen. I can't wait to scrapbook all of these things so I can sob quietly on the couch in the middle of a harsh winter in my Michigan home when the real cabin fever and Disney depression sink in.

    I'll update some details in the morning.

    Why is this becoming my "dear Disney diary"?

    We are in shorts/capris and kids are in summer dresses under their princess dresses. It is cool in the morning at the bus stop. I'm in tank tops with a sweatshirt over and cargo short or cargo skirts (think northface/ rei type ). Dh wore jeans yesterday thinking it would be cool enough but, NOPE. He changed into shorts as soon as we got through the gates. He has had a longsleeve shirt over a tshirt. And he brongs a sweatshirt for the evening.

    Its sunny, warm but, w a cool wind. As usual, its noticeably warmer in the parks.

    It is 812am and we are on the bus going under the magic kingdom sign. We'll soon be pulling up to our #11 bus stop and in the park for our worlwind last day.

    Face paint, hair wrap, ariel, tiana, tink, jessie, a pirate, some ghosts, and perhaps a splash is in our future....

    I'm sitting in the shade waiting for dh and odd to get on a tea cup. Ydd is snoozing away. We haven't seen ariel oe jessie yeat. I'm not so sure we'll make it. The crowd has definately thickened and we are debating what to do. Maybe we'll go on TTA and carousel of progress or take a train ride. The kids asked to ride the monorail. We still haven't done that.

    Still stuck. And now I have a kid that needs to go potty. Maybe we'll get a golden fast pass or something. People in the car next to us are going to be late for their dinner ressies.

    We just saw the train next to us be evacuated. We are next... this is a first. Wasn't on our list but a first nonetheless.

    Where's my camera

    That was weird. Can't wait to see the pics and share our near death experience on the TTA (j/k). Gost a golden fp to any attraction so, that will get us haunted mantion since that wait has been over 30 min all day. Kids wanted to do monters laugh floor so,we are winding around for that and will head over to haunted mansion before taking our last walk down main street.

    We were going to go home and pack but, what fun is that? I decided that we sre going to EPCOT for spaceship earth and Illuminations.
