Closed our eyes- Peter style (if you tell him to close his eyes, he uses his hands to close them- its hilarious!)

Said good bye to Mickey:

I had to take this picture!- Although you couldn't see it, it says not to feed the alligators (its near the pond outside the hotel)

Hope we see you soon Mickey Mouse :)

It was a long drive, but we made it home.  We had a such a wonderful time at Disney World! 

May 14: Our last day!

When we woke up Monday, we had some visitors outside our window: some wild turkeys! 

From Disney World 2012

Our hotel was near the Polynesian resort, so we could take the Shady Shuttle to the Polynesian to catch the monorail (which Mick said was his favorite character- haha!) 
From Disney World 2012

We got to the Magic Kingdom in time to see the welcome show when the park opens (we actually saw this Friday also but the kids were so nervous with all the people and noise.  By Monday, they were used to it and were able to enjoy the show!) 
From Disney World 2012

When we got into the park Sara and I got right into line to meet Rapunzel since this line was normally 1.5 hours long! We only waited about 20 minutes luckily :)

Meanwhile the guys drove some boats!
