I noticed you said you went swimming in the evening, just wondering how warm was is at night while you were there?

thanks!

it was in the high 50's at night while we were there. but the pool is heated and it was not bad if you stayed in the water. getting out and going up the stairs to the slide it was a bit chilly though....not too bad.

Day 6 ~ Magic Kingdom & Epcot

We got to Magic Kingdom about 9am and left about 1:30pm. We did all our favorites and enjoyed the nice weather and easy crowds.

We went back to our resort to relax and get dressed for the Princess Storybook diner at Epcot that evening.

We arrived at Epcot about 3:45 and did Nemo, Figment, road the ride in Mexico and the one in Norway. We took in Norway's Christmas around the world production and then we checked in for diner at Akerhus.

This was by far the best meal we had. We loved all the appetizers and the pork shank we each ordered was FABULOUS! For as many mixed reviews about the food here...it was right up our alley!

Megan enjoyed meeting all the princesses. Belle, Ariel, Cinderella, Jasmine and Alice were all there!

Afterward we saw the most amazing Illuminations fireworks production! They added at the end a special "holiday" portion...and it was so emotionally moving. This was the best fireworks / visual nighttime show we saw. It beat out Fantasmic and Wishes...it was just awesome!

After Illuminations, we headed back to our resort and crashed......another magical day in Disney!

Day 7 ~ Magic Kingdom

This was our last day.
So we hit all our faves...multiple times.

We went to the Judges Tent and saw Arora...we had not seen her yet, and we also road Goofy's Barnstormer for the umptenth time!LOL

We saw a moma duck and her babies in Adventure Land.

We saw Mary Poppins on Mainstreet.

We enjoyed the afternoon parade.

Enjoyed Columbia Harbor House for lunch and had diner at Tony's Town Square. Both were delicious.

we finished off the day with a trip to the Confectionery to use up our leftover snack credits. We brought home some tastey treats for my mom & sis...as well as a couple for ourselves!

We headed back to our resort and spent some more time in the pool and on the slide. We went back to our room and I packed everything up. We didn't want to have anythign to do in the morning except to get dresses and grab a bite to eat before leaving.

These are some of the most precious pics I have seen. Your DD is adorable. I love the family pic where you are all dressed up and the pic on Barnstormer, priceless.

Day 7 ~ drove home :o(

I woke up about 4:15, Paul pulled the car around to the circular drive near our building and I packed the car.

Before we left i went to the front desk and got them to give me better directions on how to get to the FL Turnpike. I could tell my mapquest directions were screwy.

They gave us perfect, easy to follow directions. And we grabbed a cinnamon roll on the food court before we left.

We left the resort at 5:30 am arrived home 7 long hrs. later.


FINAL THOUGHTS:

1. LOVE, love, love POFQ.....we will stay here ever trip if possible.

2. LOVE, love, love the Dining Plan...we will use it every trip...no doubt!

3. Love ALL the parks in diff. ways...so glad we are branching our...but MK is still our "home"...we don't need a map...we know it backwards and forwards...it never gets old!

4. Every trip just keeps getting better & better....we can't wait to go back!


~~ thanks for reading my TR, hope you all enjoy it.

~ and as always...thanks for sharing in the magic with me & my family...it's because of all that i learn on MB that every trip goes so flawlessly.
