of Course!!!
So many people overlook Tom Sawyer Island.. I dont get it.. we LOVE it.. the kids get to run around blowing off steam, we get a shady break oh and the bathroom in the fort is sooooo cold..its kinda awesome..lol
As we disembarked the boat a guy ( holding a small kiddo) didnt listen and ended up falling with his kiddo in his arms.. sigh..people just dont think the rules apply and then this happens because of it!
Plus there are some great views:
I do wish they still had a snack location over here.. but thats ok..
the kids love running around the fort
the tunnels are pretty cool..even if the highlight of them for my kids is scarying the crud outta mom..
inside the tunnel..after they scared me..with flash on..lol
Now we return to the mainland..I run ( walk not run ) to grab paper FP's to Big Thunder and we see EMTS at the dock ..another guy fell ! EMTS this time.. with his leg stabilized.. no clue what happened but geez people!
Ok now we are off to....

Where Where Where
Somehow in 5 trips I've only ever ridden this once.. and Eric and the kids never..so I was determined to take them on this most exciting ( not) ride!
So , this ride may not be exciting..but it is a nice ride with some great views..
like this:
seriously..Taejan was enthralled with the mechanical aspects of this boat..it was great!
a little time to trade SoTMK cards too of course!
Holy line.. glad we rode that earlier...dang!
then . of course, we had to stop and do some trading?
and then it was time to double ride Big Thunder.. this easily became our favorite family ride this trip!
excuse the sunglasses..those would be my mickey ones I bought on Park Day one... they are cute..but they do NOT stay on my nose..very annoying!
we rode the Railroad the whole loop because we had some time until our FP+
We then ride Splash..it was pouring..
this time Declan stayed upright and Ziah hid.. Taejan did his now signature "gonna blow chunks" face @@
and for some reason walked over to Tomorrowland..not sure why we didnt just take the train?? I dunno
Did I mention it was pouring?
Eric , Taejan and Ziah rode Space Mountain...
at this point its about 4pm.. we are hungry and tired..
We had never eaten at Casey's so we did..it was packed ( cus of the rain of course).. the kids LOVED they got cotton candy as their "dessert"..
It was back to the resort to swim ...
I did laundry.. then we packd what clean clothes we didnt need for the rest of the trip. The realization the trip was coming to a close hit me.. it sucked! The kids swam some more.. then we went back to the room. I decided I wanted to do something else we had never done.. go to evening EMH and close the MK down ( or close to it)..so off we went to the bus stop!!
EMH!

I took no notes for this..think I left my phone in the room...so I'm going solely based on the pictures I did take 
Now we arrived to MK about 9pm.. Declan wanted to do a Pirate Adventure so off to AdventureLand we went!
The Pirate Adventures are actually very cool.. we were done with that and headed off to
Time for some SoTMK play time too!
we got to watch a little of The Main Street Electical Parade
yes..thats a selfie in/near the Rapunzel Bathroom...
this area is even prettier at night..
more wandering..honestly not sure if/what we rode..but we were having a great time that I remember!
I do know we rode Ariel..because if we didnt we feared she would pop out of the ride and attack!
Ah Barnstormer..yep..
next...

Big Thunder Mountain Ride Through
So we are up to September 23rd 2013...
After shutting down Magic Kingdom we were all beat..so we slept in..and I mean it this time! Even after we woke up we didnt do much...for awhile
We decided to head to Hollywood Studios.... The kids wanted to see Sorcerer Mickey!
Mission was accomplished!
Now they just goofed off a little!
We HAD to ride Star Tours..
we had a bite to eat then we headed out.. HS just isnt our park at all..
We had ressies later at Cape May so we wanted to stay in the area..so we hopped the boat to Epcot.. Taejan was thrilled to see turtles by the boat ramp!
and then the rain began...
I love this area..
We opted to get out at the Y&B club and walk the rest of the way..we saw the reminants of a wedding..
I so wanted to be over there.. staying there..loved the Boardwalk!
and thus we got to the International Gateway..a first for us..we've never entered this way!!
Next..more more more rain!

Next..more more more rain!
Still love the report! Can't wait for more rain
This whole day was RAIN....more coming soon~~
So we went through the International gateway.. into the gift shop and bought ponchos.. it was raining with no signs of letting up!
We hadnt yet had shaved ice so that's where we headed!
in the rain...
now before I get any further..the rain DOES NOT BOTHER me.. in fact if the buildings werent so COLD we wouldnt even get ponchos..but being wet in AC is not ok!!
we headed off to the Maelstrom..we love this ride!
It was pouring so we hung out and colored for awhile
we basically did that as we meandred and wasted time until our Cape May ressies
we found a dry spot..under the Monorail..LOL
Of course we rode Living with the Land..but I must say..the amount of rain dripping in the green house was..well..WOW
Then we hit the Seas..and watched the divers
and headed back outside..into..you guessed it..the rain!

So we are outside..in the rain..
and we let the kids play in the fountain..afterall they were already wet!
then we headed the other way back towards the International gateway
and I wanted some pictures!
It was still a little early for our ressie but we headed to Cape May anyway..it had been exactly a year since we ate there to the day and I was so ready to eat again!!!
Cape May here we come!

We got to Cape May..stopped for a little pin trading again of course!
Sat in the exact same area as the last trip..lol..and there was a mom from my Sept 2013 planning facebook group there..whoot!
Yes..it was Taejan's b-day..again..had he already done this once? I cant remember..but it was.. he LOVES crab so its fitting!
Ziah's favorite thing is the desserts!
Then it was back to the resort via a boat to HS and a bus. We crashed and chilled in the room...it was too rainy to do much else! We did end up swimming in the rain for awhile too.
And thus concludes another Disney Day!

NOOOOO!!!! Say it ain't so?
it is.. I really didnt have my heart in going again... 3 trips in 25 months that amounted to nearly 6 weeks was enough for awhile..
