Summer Vacation: Part Four - Cape May Cafe, Blizzard Beach, and Last Day

The next morning we woke up bright and early for our favorite character breakfast, Cape May Café. We love being on the boardwalk and Yacht & Beach Club. The first character we got to see was Minnie!
 Then Goofy, who they always think is absolutely hilarious!
 And last Donald
 We were a little disappointed this year because they usually have a couple more characters but these guys still made it special. Minnie came back around and we did group shots
 And then Donald lead everyone in singing Happy Birthday to Ethan. He was wearing his birthday pin that he was given at check-in since he had a birthday a couple of weeks before we came.
 Then he blew out his candle and had a cupcake at breakfast...what is more Disney than that!
 We strolled around the resort a bit after that and got a couple of family pictures
 By that time, Caden had had enough and this was how he felt. I had to document this because this pretty much summed up his week ;-)
 After that, we headed back to our resort and rested a while before splitting up after lunch. Ben, Ethan, and I headed over to Blizzard Beach and Mimi and Caden went to the Cozy Cone Pool (where Caden ended up deciding the Nemo pool was more fun so they went back to it instead)
Blizzard Beach was fun! The wave pool was awesome with tubes to just float around in! Way more tame than Typhoon Lagoon's wave pool. They had a lazy river as well and then Ben and Ethan checked out the water slides while I relaxed on a lounge chair :-)
We met back up at the resort for dinner, then finished up our last minute gift shopping before checking out the next day.
The next morning, the boys had breakfast in the room while we got everything ready to be loaded. It was such a NEAT room with so many detailed features!
 Complete with Radiator Springs right outside the window
As we were leaving, the pelicans squawked their goodbyes as we walked past one last time

A truly, memorable trip!
So long Disney, see you in a few years. Over the last three years, we have exhausted every part of what you have to offer on property and we are ready for a relaxing beach vacation next summer!
