What do you all do for the day you leave to go home?
- Thread starter MOMI2KIDS
- Start date
We have a tradition of eating dinner on our first night (VERY jetlagged from England) at Concourse Steakhouse and our final meal is usually lunch at Olivia's. I heartily recommend starting a tradition like this. It's nice to know how your trip will begin each time and how it will end each time.
Get up a bit later than usual, load up the car and leave the house, grab breakfast at McDonald's or a breakfast buffet (I think the tradition from now on will be to eat at Trail's End that morning :lol: ), and then make the drive home to West Palm Beach.

GREAT TOPIC!
This idea (above) sounds like a GREAT PLAN for us to follow ... we too, will be driving home. I certainly don't want to be stressed out on our last day. Thanks Jess for your suggestion!
I have made reservations for our Last Night, to see the "Spirit of Aloha" show ... that will be our official "Goodbye" to an AMAZING vacation (and MONTHS & MONTHS of dreaming, planning, waiting) ...

Oh, how I HATE the last day!
But anyway, we book a late flight (8:30pm this year) so we can spend all day at the parks. And the last park is always the MK.
My son, now 13, and I have a tradition to end the trip. After the afternoon parade, we walk over to the picture spot of the castle on the Tomorrowland bridge. He takes a picture of his mom and me, then I take his, and we give each other a hug and say we'll be back.
Then the biggest lump comes in my throat as we walk towards the exit.
I repeat, oh, how I HATE the last day!

I only live about an hour and 45 minutes away so I admit I am very spoiled. Getting to go more often helps with leaving only in the sense that you know you can come back sooner rather than later.
Still it's magic there so Im not going to lie and say it doesnt get me.
My usual procedure: Spend all day at a park to catch the fireworks - walk to exit swearing that I'm going to work for the Mouse at some point in my life - curse my current job (lol) and make the drive home.
Hey - what can I say it's a tradition....:lol:
(Still wishes for a job there.....)

Casey's Corner for lunch in front of the Castle. The Castle is the last memory we want to have before leaving WDW.
One time we had a rather early flight, so we ordered room service, which was actually quite nice.
