Comments: I am having difficulties here. The early closing time is teasing me! I really want it to be PPP, but if it is not then we will shoot for the other rides a little harder. We have been to DL several times. We will get on our favs and anything new. Space Mountain, Tomorrowland Indy Speedway and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Stitch, Judge's Tent?
As it is closing early, depending on how we are feeling we will park hop over the AK for some nighttime atmosphere. I have to plan for something alternate
or we could just go back to the room and sleep

Dinner Chef de France 5:30p
Entertainment - Illuminations 9p (Option 3)
Event or Activity - This is our last day. DF had a choice between AK or EP. I also let him know that we could do MK but it would be super crowded
so we went with EP. This shall be a stroll through the park kind of day. We have ADRs in France so will probably start in Mexico or wherever we left off the previous time we were in World showcase. If we have not seen Illuminations we will watch it tonight
if we have already seen it and are not as thrilled about it
like say Wishes
we will leave as it starting or catch most of it by the entrance and leave midway. I know I should be shot for saying that, but I have been super picky about firework type shows and Wishes was the first to bring me to tears. (Wishes in DL not WDW. I have the soundtrack to both
I like DL better
IMHO
I cannot help being a DL snob
maybe when I come back I will be a DL/WDW snob and attempt to bridge the forces together and convince Disney we need another park in the middle
where it is not too hot or cold
or one in South America
Asia now has two
Europe, I have heard rumors of Australia, but no South America? How about Africa? I guess they go where the money is
I love Disney either way.

My Vacation Departure:

Comments: I hope we wont be leaving too early
I would love to check out at 11:00a
Having completed my itinerary
This looks super busy. I really have to wait until we get there to fit in more rest. I would love to go miniature golfing but we shall have to see when we can squeeze it in. I know this wont be our last time going and I am keeping that thought in the forefront. Okay we shall see what DF thinks.
OKay next post: the fabric for my dress!
