Until Next Time...

I am never ready for our Disney trips to come to an end. I think even if we were there for 3 weeks, I would still be sad when it was over. I just can't get enough! Actually, the part that makes me sad is that I just know a special moment in time has passed and the next time we come, our kids will be that much older. It's a good thing you don't really have to ever grow up when you're at Disney World! 
G-Ma flew back early Saturday morning & we loaded up and started our drive back home. I think its impossible for me to drive through the backside of the Disney gate where it says "See You Real Soon!" without tears springing to my eyes. 
Does Disney cost a lot of money? Yes! Absolutely, YES! 
Does it take us two days to drive there? Yes! 
Do we have to work hard to catch up at school? Yes! 
Is it worth it? Oh, my YES! Every time! 
I already can't wait to start planning our next Disney adventure...if I can talk Daddy into it!
I am almost embarrassed by this, but the kids had their own money to spend and this is what Madison and Jonah spent their money on. I mean, REALLY?! They're only little once, right?
We had to work on homework during the drive home. The kids worked hard and did a great job catching up on their work when we got back to school.

Epcot

After spending the first part of the day at Blizzard Beach, we went back to the hotel and got cleaned up and then headed to EPCOT around 3:30. We didn't have time to do everything, but we got to do most of the things we wanted to. This was our last day at Disney...it always amazes me how quickly it passes...makes me sad! After making our way around the front part of the park, we headed to the World Showcase to get dinner. Of course everyone wanted something from different countries, but that's the awesome thing about eating at Epcot! You can eat from Mexico, Canada, China & Italy, all in the same night! I know a lot of people with young kids avoid going to Epcot, but we truly love it! When we saw Joy & Sadness, we told them that it was our last day at Disney World and that made Sadness very, very SAD. I understand just how she feels! 
My sunglasses broke, so I HAD to buy these new super cute Mickey Mouse ones! I just wish I would'e had them to wear our whole trip. Mackenzie thought she needed some too, so G-Ma hooked her up and bought these for her.
Jonah was rockin' his Spiderman shades too! How stinkin' cute is he?!
We went into the Epcot Character Spot because there was literally no wait at all, and Mickey, Goofy & Minnie were so happy to see us! 
Minnie loved G-Ma!
Next, we saw Baymax from Big Hero 6, and then Joy and Sadness from Inside Out.
Completely out of nowhere, Mackenzie decided to strike a pose! This girl cracks me up!! Who knows, maybe she will be a Disney character someday!
Test Track!

Our Disney-loving kids!
Of course out of ALL the food choices we had, Madi & Jonah wanted Mac-n-cheese in the America pavilion!
This girl loves her some orange chicken!
G-Ma and I ended our night, and our trip really - because we were leaving bright and early the next morning, with the BEST part...our caramel apple from Germany! I wonder if they ship these things?! I really wish I had one right now!
