One of the draw backs to paying for everything in advance, you don't pay as much attention when you pass on something you have already paid for. We had one more day of parks, but were exhausted. Mom and Dad left this morning. We had appts at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique later in the afternoon in Downtown Disney. We were so tired and opted to hang around the resort for a bit and then head to Downtown Disney to look around there for a while before their appts. We dropped some serious money in the DD, but we got a lot of birthday and upcoming Christmas gifts for many people. As one who waits for the last minute to finish Christmas shopping, it was nice to have such a good start.
The girls were both getting the ultimate package for their birthdays that were coming up next month. I was not sure that Maddie would be on board, but she was such a trouper. She hates having her hair fixed and I was so shocked how good she did. But I will note that as soon as we walked back into the resort she had her hair down and everything pulled out. Maddie wanted to be Belle and Ellie was Rapunzel. I am not sure about the hairstyle she chose, but it was her decision.
As part of the package, the girls got a photo session. I was not happy with the pictures. Ellie has this new smile that she is doing (ugh) and Maddie was so tired and ready to go to sleep (she fell asleep while we were waiting for the pictures to print).
We headed back to the resort as soon as we were finished with the pictures. Both girls fell asleep on the bus back to the resort and Maddie would not wake up for anything. We all were so tired and needed to figure out about how to best get ready for our early wake-up to head back home. Might I also take a moment to say again how much I love staying on Disney property. We checked our luggage in at the resort, and they also printed off our boarding passes. We loaded the bus and arrived at the airport in plenty of time--and did not have to worry about any of our massive amount of luggage. (We opted to bring both the carseats for Daytona and the stroller--plus four rather large bags). We were back in cold Louisville by noon. We went from 90s to 30s and it was quite a shock. Mom and Dad arrived back at home a little later. So thankful that God protected each of us and we had a great vacation.
Things to Remember for Disney in the future:
1.) Get the photopass and take tons of pictures. The $169 is worth all the pictures that you get, especially for a 5 day trip.
2.) If doing BBB-then try to get it earlier in the week if possible.
