Return From The House Of The Mouse: Day 4
Day 4
Since Tom Sawyer's Island at Frontierland was such a big hit the previous day we decided to go back to the Magic Kingdom on our final day. We woke up and early and got to the park right when it opened. The day was perfect; great weather and it was a lot less crowded! We rode the train, Dumbo, Peter Pan and It's a Small World (that ride drives me freaking crazy! hate it.) We visited Uncle Jason at his gift shop in Frontierland where we bought the boys personalized leather bracelets. Then we floated over to the island for another day of fighting injuns and pirates at the fort. The boys both fell asleep in the stroller and we headed back to the resort for midday naps.
That evening we headed over to Epcot for our last night in Orlando. We all donned our plastic Viking helmets and hit the park. It was perfect ending to a great week. The skies were clear, the temps in the 70's and no crowds or long lines. Perfect.We rode the Nemo ride which the boys loved and then we met Jason for dinner at the Chinese Pavilion. We spent the rest of the night strolling leisurely "around the world" sampling the different culinary treats from the various countries. I even bought a rocking Godzilla tee shirt at the Japanese pavilion. And I would totally recommend trying the "school bread" from the bakery in the Norway Pavilion. Delicious.
Said goodbye to Jason and headed back to our "swamp room." Up early the next morning and hit the road for the ATL.
All in all it was a fun trip even if it was a bit exhausting. I'm realizing that as a parent there are no such a thing as a "relaxing" family vacation. But I wouldn't have it any other way. My boys may be a lot of work, but they're worth it.
