Day 17 - Magic Kingdom

So today was our last day at Walt Disney World *waahh* So we went with the classic Magic Kingdom. We decided to hit the park hard in the morning then home around lunch to pack up while the kids nap then take mum back to see the Wishes fireworks show as she hadn't seen it the whole two weeks we were there. 






We started off with an 8:25am ADR at the Crystal Palace. It was a buffet and the food was quite good. The best par of it was the fresh fruit. The berries were the best I've ever had! (The berries we get at our local supermarket are crap!) We met all the characters from Winnie the Pooh - Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet, although the characters felt quite rushed through and Piglet actually missed us and went to the other side so we had to get his "handler"? to bring him back.








After breakfast we hit Brandons favourite Peter Pan, Snow Whites Scary Adventure, The Haunted Mansion and Flying Carpets of Aladdin. Steve took Brandon on the horse and cart thingo down Main Street then we headed home.








After cleaning, washing and packing etc Mum, Brandon and I headed back to the Magic Kingdom. We spotted Chip 'n Dale so we jumped in the relatively short line for that. They were pretty cute and quite interactive just goofing around being silly. I got some good pics of Brandon with them. Mum spotted the Roy Disney statue and insisted on getting her photo taken with it. 











After that I told Brandon he had time for one more ride then we would have to stake out a place for the fireworks. He picked......Peter Pan. On the way to Peter Pan we spotted some talented cleaners.....






Peter Pan was seriously like a 45 min wait and I asked him more than once if he minded and he said no. So we waited..... After Peter Pan we staked out a spot near the castle and Mum settled down on the ground to wait. I popped over to Casey's Corner to grab a quick bite for dinner. I came back with fries and nachos. The wait wasn't too long, only around 30 mins to go and when the lights went out and they announced 5 minutes to show time Brandon announced her needed to pee. Desperately. I was pretty furious but I dragged him to the closest one all the way over in Liberty Square!! We made it back about 2 minutes after the Magic, Memories and You had started but we found our way back to mum....just! Mum was just as awe inspired by the amazing show they put on as everyone else and it was a perfect ending to our last day at the World :( 


PS: I had vowed to myself no photos of the show tonight. Just enjoy the moment, and I did just that!
