Disney: Day 5

So we've come to the last day of our trip to the Disney World Theme Parks. We started off in MGM (which I made Dave go to since it's his least favorite park). We caught the Little Mermaid and Playhouse Disney. Jonah was pretty tired so he cried throughout Playhouse Disney and eventually feel asleep in Dave's arms.

After Jonah's brief nap, we walked the park. The kids got to meet their favorite characters (JoJo, Goliath and the Little Einsteins) and Dave got to meet his favorite character, Matlock. Okay, here's the inside joke: everyday, Dave used to watch Matlock in between his breaks at college. I, of course, teased him relentlessly.

Anyway, the real highlight of the day was the trick-or-treating event at the Magic Kingdom. They only let about 15 to 20 thousand people through the gates (you had to buy a special ticket) and there were meet and greets along with candy spots throughout the park. There was also a special fireworks show and parade. The best part? NO LINES! Dave took Ellie on Splash Mountain. Then she went on Thundermountain twice!

We had a great time! And while we did feel slightly guilty about keeping the kids up so very late past their bedtimes, we were comforted by all the other naughty parents around us who had their kids up late too. Hey, it's vacation!
