Disney: Day 8 Wrap-Up

Sadly, our trip came to an end. Mimi went to the airport at 6a.m. and we were loaded and in the car by 7:45. I let the boys sleep all the way up until the bellman came to load the bags, then woke them up just enough to get their clothes on and into strollers to ride down to the car. As I put Ethan in his stroller, he was sobbing because he didn't want to leave Disney World. He said he already missed it and he wanted to live here everyday :-( Who wouldn't! Thankfully, by the time we made it down to the car, he had calmed down.

Here's our "See you next time" picture

What a week! It was amazing and exhausting and took us another week just to recover. AND we only did 2 parks keeping nap schedules every other day! Although this wasn't our first trip to Disney we still learned a few things. We will definitely build in additional park days next time so that the days we are in a park will not be as long and we will either stay on the Boardwalk like we did this time and have done in the past OR we will stay at a resort on the monorail. The convenience of having a boat or the monorail at your disposal is fabulous. We especially like the Boardwalk resorts though because you have additional entertainment, restaurants, and shops for times when you are not in the parks. Disney is great no matter how you do it and we can't wait to go back. However, I will NOT miss the 30 pound backpack I wore all week. I'm so thankful that I had it because at one point or another we had a need for almost everything in it, but OH BOY did it get heavy! 

Now, off to start planning our next Disney vacation! Or maybe we'll look into a Disney cruise???
