Day Six - Farewell Disney World

Our sixth and final day we returned to the Magic Kingdom with hopes of riding Peter Pan's Flight and Pirates of the Caribbean. The plan was to run and get fastpasses for one and then go ride the other.

Dacey had commented that the only character that she'd wanted to meet but hadn't was Daisy Duck. She was a bit disappointed. As we entered MK and started our trek down Main Street there stood DD. I don't know who was more excited.. me or the kids. There wasn't a line and we were able to go straight up to see her. Dacey got a huge duck hug, autographs, and we got pictures. Tommy had gone ahead of us to Peter Pan's Flight to get fastpasses. We were on our way to meet up with him when my cell phone rang. He was in line and there wasn't a wait. We jetted over there and were able to walk up and ride. The ride was nice but not exactly what I'd thought it would be. After that we headed to Pirates.

The kids loved the Pirates of Carribean ride and afterwards stopped to shop in the Pirates Gift Shop. When we exited the store we turned to the right and there stood Captain Jack Sparrow. He and one of his crew members were giving pirate lessons. Jaden and Isaac were able to step up and participate and received official certificates pronouncing them pirates under the command of Captain Jack.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything:


We did a little bit of shopping, ate lunch at Casey's Corner, watched the Family Day Parade and then made our way out of Magic Kingdom for the last time. We rode the ferry boat back to the parking area so we could watch MK from a distance as we left. Aboard the ferry some of the crew commented that they feared a mutiny by my two young pirates who'd bought hooks, swords, and pistols back at the pirate shop. It was a cute farewell.

Walt Disney World was so much more and so much better than I could have ever imagined. It was worth the wait to get there. I can't imagine what it is like from a child's perspective but from the perspective of a parent getting to watch their children go from park to park, from ride to ride, from character to character, and from experience to experience, it was the most thrilling, most exciting, happiest week of my life.

There are tears in my eyes as this blog and our trip come to an end. We had such a good time... the best ever. I hope that we made many memories for our kids that they will take with them for their entire lives. I know I did. I plan to make them each a scrapbook of autographs and photos with copies of this blog posted through them. Also in the days to come I intend to "interview" each of them for an exclusive of their favorite Disney moments.
