We cleaned up in our Mickey Mouse finest after a relaxing quick service meal at the resort this last day. Since we redeemed 2 table service meals for our fancy night in Cinderella's castle, we decided to hit up the pool and Roaring Fork restaurant at our resort for dinner before our evening jaunt back to the Magic Kingdom.
Swoon-Here's my handsome dude on the dock trying to be the first one to spot our boat on Bay Lake. He watched every move that our captain made navigating us through the calm waters. He was surely trying out for the job of skipper noticing all of the bells and whistles on the boat.
I must say that he felt too cool for school pulling up to the gates in a boat. Really, any new mode of transportation sends his heart into hummingbird fast speed.
We secured our real estate on Main Street as crowds always start to gather early on the parade route. I learned a little trick and played around with our Fast Passes in the afternoon. Since, EK and I didn't redeem Splash Mountain, we rearranged them for night rides. Landon was able to redeem Space Mountain solo while we secured our spots on Main Street. Then, he jaunted off with Miller while Eliza Kate paraded herself around Main Street "cart shopping" her souvenir.
Daddy Worebucks did finally come back and grant her, her wish:) We don't overindulge in Disney sway during the week. In my opinion, it just wastes space once you return from vacation. We do allow the littles to purchase light up sussies on parade night. It's become our little tradition. Notice Landon giving me nonverbal cues looking for approval over the kid's choices. Gosh, I love that man who tries to make everyone happy:)
Here's a High 4 from Mickey Mouse:) Eliza Kate chose a spinning light up Aurora stick to keep her busy.
Main Street is gorgeous all lit up at night. It takes on a whole new look as the buildings are trimmed with sparkling lights.
This is the night that we like to cash in any other accumulated snack points on our account that weren't redeemed. The saying is true--you use it or lose it! We all enjoyed ice cream and bottled waters while waiting for lights out on Main Street for the parade.
Our patience paid off! Tinker belle kicked off the parade zip lining high in the night sky. The all too familiar "Baroque Hoedown" musical march music filled the air. And, Eliza Kate's mouth was agape admiring all of the beautiful floats and characters at night. Prince Charming even waved to our girl leaving her star struck;) We loved seeing Cinderella's carriage illuminating the dark. Even her skirt was all lit up.
We always walk to the park exit to admire the Wishes Nighttime Spectacular fireworks show and picture display on the castle. That way, we're not surfing the crowds waiting to exit. It's so nice to leave and hop on the first boat out of the docks. As you can see. our tired girly watched the show in her stroller with the comfort of her thumb:)
A first for us this trip, was getting to watch the Electrical Water Pageant on Bay Lake. We actually got a very up close and personal vantage point from our boat. Illuminated floating parade barges with music entertained us in the water. Of course, Eliza Kate was zonked out on Landon's shoulder for most of the action. Our last night was the perfect, grand finale to one unforgettable family adventure. See ya real soon!
