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

[marlaine]

We also each throw a coin in the Poly's fountain and make a wish that we will return the following year. We started it the first year, and have done it every year since!

December will be our second trip to WDW, and we're going to continue what we started on our first trip and go to a character breakfast the day we leave.

[Soph and Han's Mom]

Stop at Downtown Disney and pick up all of our last minute gifts!

[TheVBs]

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.

That is so sweet! I love it!

We don't have a last day tradition. Except for the crying part of course.

When the kids were younger, and we were crazy enough to drive to WDW, we would stop at Downtown Disney on our last day, do a little shopping, and then let the kids get totally soaked in the fountain there. They'd change in the car and we'd begin the loooong ride home.

Walk down Main street one last time then I start thinking about booking the next trip

[DisneyAggies]

For us it's a final character breakfast at Crystal Palace followed by farwell 'grand circle tour' of MK.

Last year we didn't have time to hit the parks on our last day because of our flight time. Every other year, we've made it...

Me and my Father usually go during Extra Magic Hours to Magic Kingdom and take a baker's dozen on the Jungle Cruise, clearly our top ten in the park. During fireworks and the parade is the absolute best because no one is on the ride, so we get in and talk to the Skipper about how they landed such a wonderful job .

I use to go to DTD for a last minute look around and shopping, however now that DW and I are married and have found our favorite resort (V@WL), we usually sleep in a bit, get up, have breakfast and take a stroll around the Lodge, maybe stop by the gift shop and then head to the bus. Usually it is bitter sweet, however this year we will be staying in DL for a few days after WDW, so it will make the transition much MUCH easier. No tears being shed here... at least not till we are on the flight from LA to New Zealand (home), then maybe a few. At least till we break out our Passporter and start planning the next trip (hopefully around Christmas time next year hehehe).

Oh I forgot, we tend to do this on our last day as well.

[mermaidmarian]

We usually plan a waterpark day for our last day. We check out of the resort, pack our rental car and then bop over to a water park, usually TL, for a last day of fun. We shower and get dressed for the airport at the park and plan to get to MCO by 3:00 p.m.

Thats a great idea! I love it!

Cry!!

No, seriously, we always start and finish at MK. Last night we watch the fireworks, wander through the shops on Main Street, and turn one last time to say goodbye to the castle.

This coming trip (how many days boys and girls? 28?) will be a little different. My daughter and I will be there for a few days prior to my new SIL arrival for a belated honeymoon.

So for me it will be a last night, but just the beginning of their honeymoon.

[WDW_Obsessed]

Cry and beg hubby to move to Orlando.

Me too!! Every time we leave I try to come up with a better reason why we should live there...

[g8rgirl29]

We pick our favorite park of the year, MK always wins out!! Ride our 4 favs and more if we have time. Then we head back to OKW for some Penne Pasta with Chicken at Olivia's. Then it is the ME to MCO.

[hauntedmansiongirl]

We always drive from Ontario (22 hours from home to Disney), so the day before we leave, we do a grand tour of all of the rides that we want to hit "one more time." Usually it ends up being a whirlwind tour of all four parks. Then we head back to the hotel, freshen up and head over to the Cali Grill for our last wonderful meal, watching the fireworks while we eat. Then we head to bed early, for the fabulous 6am wake-up call to start heading home. I always cry when we leave.

[Mousemates]

We finish either with a late night stroll down mainstreet or a "walk around the world" at Epcot.

[BluewaterBrad]

Silently say goodbye to the resort and to Disney and always say see you real soon!!

[EpcotChic23]

cry Seriously that is the last thing I do sit in the hotel lobby waiting for magical express and cry. I make sure to wear sunglasses to try to cover it up, but my family knows for the past 29 years that is always what I do.

[poeticeclipse]

Wow! Reading everyones posts makes me want to cry NOW! haha!

We don't have a certain park we go to on our last park day. Normally, I take a stroll around our resort before grabbing all of the bags to take to the DME. While watching the "goodbye" video on the DME, I break down. Every single time. When they characters start singing "Now it's time to say goodbye..." I just think about how much I love this place and how special it is to me and to so many other people in the world. I always say a silent prayer to Walt, thanking him for everything he has done for millions of people. None of this would exist without him and i'll never forget that.
