Counting Down The Days

  We have had a blast and just when you think it is time to leave and go home to the real world, an extra couple days get added to the vacation, for a small fee.  Tomorrow was our flight home, although we have had so much fun and still feel we need a couple days to wind down around the pool that we are staying.  I could get used to this.
  How do you see as much as possible in Disney when you expect to be going home?  Take the kids out at 11:00 and keep them out til midnight, then get them up at 7:30 the next morning and have them in bed by 1:00am the next morning.  They were awesome right up until the tram ride (this takes us back to our car), when they all fell asleep.  How do you carry four kids from a tram to the car?  You don't of course, you wake three up knowing they will all fall right back to sleep.  The kids slept until 10am this morning with one waking up at 11:45.  I think we will just sit around the pool all day today.
  Hollywood Studios was amazing and all four kids found something they loved.  The boys became Jedi's and fought Darth Vader, the real Darth Vader, and our daughter liked Woody and Buzz, Beauty & the Beast, Little Mermaid and just about everything the boys liked.  Mutt, Jeff and I did the Tower of Terror, which will never happen again, and One loved it, one hated it, and one was happy to be alive at the end.  The Fantasmic show at the end of the night was incredible, worth the wait, after all they had beer, popcorn and cold water.
  We went to Magic Kingdom for our last night there and witnessed a spectacular show on the castle, and amazing fireworks.  We tried our best to ride a few more of the attractions before leaving and all the kids got to pick their favorite ride.  There is nothing quite like Magic Kingdom at night, with all the lights and the castle lit up, awesome.
  We now have three sleeps to go and one more day at the parks.  Tomorrow, Thursday, we will visit Epcot and Magic Kingdom and follow that with a visit to the beach on Friday.  I would like to say I look forward to coming home, although the truth is that I would love another week to do nothing but swim with the kids.  See you all soon.  
  Pictures to follow.
