Hollywood Studios/Magic Kingdom

We started the day with having brunch at my Aunt's house. We got to talk with some of the family that were busy at the wedding. Their house was right on some water so some of them decided to go for a swim and find dolphins. After visiting and eating we headed to Hollywood Studios. Jonathan was leaving that evening so time was short. I didn't know that you could get fast passes months in advance for the Disney World parks. By the time we were talking about the schedule, the fast passes were gone for the rides at Hollywood Studios that we wanted to go on. We ended up having to wait an hour and a half, in the drizzly rain, for the Tower of Terror. We had lucked out on lines before and had never waited longer than 20. 



The wait for the other rides we wanted was even longer so we decided to leave Hollywood Studios and head over to Magic Kingdom. Jonathan had to leave for the airport at that point so we were down to 5! I wish we had more time at Magic Kingdom and that we could have been there with everyone. It was such a magical night. We climbed the Swiss Family Treehouse, shared a Dole Whip, went on Pirates of the Caribbean and then convinced Mom and Chris to try Splash Mountain. They surprisingly loved it and decided to try the other roller coasters. We joked that they conquered all the mountains. Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain. 


 We had heard that the "froze" the castle every once in awhile, for a few minutes. It happened while we were over in Frontierland so David and I ran like crazy to take pictures. Well, I kept up with David for a tiny bit and then watched him run like crazy. It was seriously beautiful. 



I had to get a picture of my cute parents. 


 We were in Fantasyland getting dinner when the firework show started. It was amazing. Disney knows how to put on a show. Then I got back to my flatbread and discovered firework embers all over my food! 

That black thing came from a firework!
The park was open until midnight and we canvassed that park like it was nothing else. The only rides we didn't go on were the kid ones in Fantasyland. The line for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was over an hour and I flat out refused to go on It's a Small World. We were having way too much fun, we all felt like kids. We did not want to leave! Especially since we only had 1 day left on our trip.
