Final Day....

[Jessica Meier]

How do you choose to spend your final day? We will check out of the Contemporary but have a full ticket day with Park Hopper for our last day. My parents will have left that morning so we really do have the day for just the 3 of us....right now just planning to do whatever we haven't had time to do the previous days there.

We always go to MK at rope drop, and ride our favorites. We then usually stroll down Main Street shopping, and just taking in the sights. We then watch wishes and take the ferry back, taking in the final views of the castle

Say goodbye to MK and last minute shopping at downtown.

We always go to MK and ride rides, eat something, and get ice cream on the way out. And take lots of pics!

We never keep plans for the last day. We usually split to do the last min rides we want to hit again and go pick up our one big keepsake that we scouted out during the trip.

We always spend the final full day at the MK,from open to close. On our departure day,we try to make it to a park,but that doesn't always work out for us.So instead we just mope around our resort,wishing that we weren't leaving.

I am wondering if we shouldn't try to add a night and then that way when we leave it will just be checking out from hotel. Hmmmm

Our last day/check-out day, is spent at DtD looking around and getting last minute souvenirs and using up our remaining snack credits. I think on this trip we will have lunch at T-Rex before we leave.

I tried to always leave the final afternoon and the final morning open, so that we could hit things we missed due to rain or re-do things we really wanted to do again.

As if we aren't tired enough, we head to EPCOT and do the essentials, boat over to the Studios and do what we can and then off to MK for a Dole Whip float and anything else we have time for.

We typically go to either MK or DHS and ride our favorites. This trip, we will be going to DHS with a SciFi lunch.

Lots of wonderful ideas!!!

We usually have a breakfast ADR at a restaurant we've never been too...running out of those...and then head to DtD to do some shopping...grab lunch at Ghiradelli's (ice cream sundaes make the best lunch) and then hit the road.

Our last day, we just pack up and go sadly. But the day before we leave is spent @ MK saying good-bye w/ Wishes!

Last trip we checked out of the resort then went to DTD for some last minute shopping and lunch at Earl of Sandwich. We've got an 8 hour drive home, so we can't linger for too long.

We typically don't do parks on our checkout day. 6 hour drive home and I don't like getting home late. Usually we do breakfast at a resort, DTD and then drag my wife kicking and screaming (explitives at me about living so far from her happy place) out the gate...

If we still have park tickets, it's always Magic Kingdom. It all depends on our flight time. I try to book a mid to late afternoon flight and we'll pay the extra $10 or so for that extra day

We always spend our last day doing a full day at Epcot. We can cover just about the whole park and leave by 4:00pm.

 

[Mikester71]

We usually leave after lunch for the LONG drive home on our final day, so we usually spend it soaking up the sun at one of the water parks. Helps to relax us for the 21 hour car ride home, plus get that last little bit of warmth and sun before we get back to the snowing and blowing back home. Gotta love March up here in Canada!

I book the latest possible flight, typically leaaving between 8-9pm, so we go to the parks. Our last day is always a Thursday, so we head to MK for morning EMH. We hit all the favorites, have lunch an early lunch at Cosmic Rays, then take the monorail to Epcot. We ride all our favorites once more, then sip-and-snack our way around World Showcase, and grab 1 last pearl at the pick-a-pearl in Japan. We ride SSE on our way out, and then we often go back to MK to do one more ride on CoP and SM, enjoy 1 last dole whip, then stop at the Confectionery for rice crispie treats to take home. I then sob my way to the exit, gaze longingly at the castle one last time, and grab the bus back to our resort. We stop at the pool bar and have 1 last beverage while taking a final lap around our resort, ending at the DME counter. Once we fit a trip to DHS in among all that as well- we only got on ToT, RnRC, and Muppets, but it was nice to see the park one last time. It's an exhausting day, but we wouldn't have it any other way! The thought of going back to boring old Buffalo is so depressing that we really have to keep moving on that last day to avoid getting the blues before leaving.

On our final/check out day we try to low key it. We will usually try to book Chef Mickeys for breakfast before heading over to DTD for any last minute shopping, or we take the opportunity to do some resort hoping. This usually consists of Poly and Contemporary. We tried a long time ago to hit the parks but always found it harder to leave, and exhausting...No matter what you do, its always a very sad day indeed.
