Day 4 cont...

After a yummy lunch(we always eat at Y&Y on our AK day) we headed back to FQ for a swim. Brook and I aren't huge pool fans, so after a quick dip we decided to head over to the MK around 6 since it was open until 11 that night. Kevin decided to swim and relax all night with Mia, so off we went. I have to admit it is soooo nice being alone with her. It was always just her and I until I got married 18 mos ago when she was 14. Disney was OUR thing lol..but I'm SO glad that after bringing Kevin and his kids in 2013 he's on board with my love for WDW.
It was a beautiful night, and not very crowded. We rode about 15 rides that night(splash, pooh, pirates, jungle cruise, big thunder, to name a few)...as soon as we scanned our MB's at whatever ride we were going on, we hopped on the app and grabbed whatever was available...we walked right on every ride...it was awesome! While on Splash around 7-8pm that night Kevin texted me and told me that FQ had lost power. Thankfully it wasn't very hot and it came back on after about an hr. He said everyone was hanging around the pool area chatting with CM's.

We started to head out around 10:45pm, and took our time getting back to the bus...to prepare for our last full day....saddddd

Day 4...edited...
I can't believe I forgot this!! My poor new purple MB flew off when I was on Everest...I was so sad...assuming I'd be stuck with a gray one when I went to Guest Services at AK to get a new one. Luckily they had purple...but of course my name isn't on it...I just couldn't believe that it flew off my wrist!! Happen to anyone else??

Day 5...
Our last full day....boo! We decided to spend our last full day at the MK. It was open until midnight that night so Brook and I wanted to savor every last second we could there. Kevin took Mia back to FQ for some pool time around dinner time, but Brooklyn and I stayed and played. We ended up riding Buzz 5-6 times in a row trying to max out....AND WE BOTH FINALLY DID!!!

Brook actually did a few times, but this was my fist time(and I'm sure it will be my only time lol)l! It only happened because the ride stopped for a few mins lol...but I did it!! We had a FP for Space Mtn, but since it only had a 10 min wait we rode a few times...took a spin on the People Mover and then decided to head out. We were sad, so we took our time walking out of the park and wandered in a few stores.

When we got back to our room I was in bounce back mode! I was stupid and should have called to speak with someone because the offer was only good up until 12-31-16, and we didn't want to return that quickly. Going to bed that night stunk of course, departure day is the WORST...which I'm sure all already know;)

We woke early and packed, left our bags with bell services and headed over to the MK . The Tragical Express was due to pick us up at 2:15pm, giving us a good solid 3.5 hrs in the park. Our last ride of the trip was the Mine Train(seems that's becoming our tradition as it was our last ride in Jan 2016), which was a first for Kevin and Mia.We headed back to the hotel and ate lunch in the food court and bought some last minute souvenirs. Said our goodbyes to Elsie, who asked when we'd back lol.

Overall, the trip was GREAT! Beautiful weather, kids got along for the most part, not too crowded and we tried some new things!

Yesterday I booked Feb 1-8th at FQ!! Brooklyn turns 17 on Feb 3rd, and my husband's bday is Feb 7th...224 days to gooo...can't wait!!!
