Day 6

We woke late today...8am for me and 9:30 for my DD. The weather was gorgeous, but cloudy. I went up Kona to grab breakfast for me and her and brought it back to the room. I had the Tonga Toast....YUMMY! Sara had an egg sandwich and a donut. After breakfast, Sara went to the pool to try out the waterslide. She ran around all day and came back in the room to get lunch. We went and grabbed lunch and DD wanted to take it to the beach and eat it on the hammock. She came running back in the room moments later. A seagul tried to "share" her lunch with her. In this time, I was packing up everything except what we needed for that night and the next day. We finished lunch and then headed over to the MK around 2pm to watch the parade. We staked out a perfect location right in front of the train station on the circle. We took turns shopping/pin trading as the other held the spot. The parade was there soon enough and we both enjoyed it very much while eating a premium mickey bar. It was the first time we both saw it. We are usually taking our mid-day break when the parades are happening. After the parade we went on the train and took it to FL. We rode Splash twice and were completely soaked. We headed back on the train and took it to Toon town. This place was packed! We walked through mickey's and minnie's and headed back on the train. We ended at Main Street Station and headed out. We stopped and got our after hours bracelettes and headed back to the Polynesian to change wet clothes for wishes and dinner and chef mickey's after. We went up to get the monorail and my DD managed to score the front seat. We had the whole car to ourselves along with the driver. We were stcuk on the track for a bit while they changed trains and waited for clearance, but what a great view to be stuck looking at. We had the ideal location for wishes right there. The castle was right there already chaging colors. We got back to the Mk and I sat DD on top of the train station at 6pm. All of the chairs were already taken so she stood directly behind a lady and her two kids as I ran to get us drinks and popcorn to wait it out. I had to go all the way up to the hub because the one by the train station wasn't open. I came back and we ate our popcorn and waited. About 30 minutes before the show started, a man came up and was talking to the lady in front of my DD. I assumed it was her husband or someone she was traveling with. He was blocking me and DD from seeing anything. He was a good 5"10 to our 5"3 and 5ft. I didn't get mad...I assumed he would sit after the show started or at least kneel out of the way. Fat chance. Moments before the show started, he whips out his video camera and sets up....ok now I was a bit tweaked, but was still thinking this guy was surely not going to stand there while the show was going on....nope he stood there through out the entire show. I made a few comments, but really didn't say anything. This show was beautiful even with my obstructed view. I have never seen or heard anything that cool. After the show ends the guy gets up and leaves....he wasn't even with the lady...unreal! I just got over it. Nothing I can do now, but know to get there earlier next time. After Wishes, me and my DD headed to FL to redo our favorites. WE were checked for the after hours band at each attraction. We took one more turn on Phillarmagic and then had to say goodbye to the MK. We made our way slowly to the monorail wishing we weren't saying good bye at all. We headed over to the Contemporary to CM for dinner. We arrived and were seated in minutes. The dinner was fine and the characters excellent! I have to say that this is the best guest interaction that I had the whole trip. I took pictures for the family next to me so they could all be in it. It seems that everyone was doing that all evening. It was nice to see a bit of kindness and consideration for a change. After dinner, we made our way back to the polynesian where we stayed up late acting goofy and enjoying our final night there.
