Shuffy's travels: Day 8 - Last Time For Magic

In the park by 9 am. First ride was Splash Mountain. Guess what? We were soaked by 9:15. Jillian and I were in the front and when we took the 50 ft plunge, the water got us good. But was that enough? No, we got a fast pass so we could walk right on later.

Then we wandered over to Fantasyland and rode It's a Small World and Mickey's Philharmonic 3D show. Just how do they do that 3-D stuff?

Pirates of the Carribean showed us what a pirate's life. If Johnny Depp is in it, I'm there?

The Swiss Family Robinson's Treehouse was next as we imagined ourselves shipwrecked and living on a deserted island!

The parade at 3 was magical and so colorful.

Back to Splash Mountain and we were in the first seat again. Did we NOT learn anything the last time?

We had Disney's Meal Plan, so we could eat "free" in the park. Had a nice meal at Tomorrowland. Buzz Lightyear is a great competitive ride where you shoot a laser at targets and add up your score at the end. We also watched the character show at the castle. The colors were so beautiful and the songs were very catchy. Jillian and I went shopping to pick out a few more gifts, a t-shirt for Pappy and a mug for NanNan. Then we got the bright idea to have Mickey and Minnie sign the shirt to say thanks to Pap for bringing us on this wonderful vacation. So we got a Fast Pass and headed for the character spot. Everyone at Disney makes you feel very special. They signed the shirt and gave us hugs and we were on our way. Now could the kids (and Peg) keep quiet about the shirt.

Nope, we gave it to him in front of the castle. He put it on right away!
