Friday we got up early, packed everything up and checked out. We verified that we could park for free during the day and headed off to the ticket and transportation center. We followed the signs to park and then we were told we would have to go out and start all over again and park in the bus parking. Once we got to the bus lot, they said that we were supposed to park where we originally went. Thankfully the lady in charge of the bus lot let us park for the day since they would not be full that day. We started out the day at Epcot. Nathan wanted to go on Soaring, a ride that simulates you flying in a hanglider. We also went on Test Track, a high speed car ride, and I took Samantha on Mission Space which simulates you flying to Mars. Timmy isn’t quite tall enough for Mission Space so he had to sit that one out. I sat out of Soaring with Joshua since my mom loves the ride. Joshua and I bought some desserts and waited for them to get out. Here is a picture of Joshua at the table with chocolate on his nose. The scratch under his eye is from him falling while walking on the sidewalk the day before.

Once the rest of the family got off of the ride we headed to lunch and then took the monorail back to the ticket and transportation center where we took the BIG ferry over to the Magic Kingdom to go on a few rides the kids wanted to hit again. My last picture is of my mom and the kids on the ferry.

We left the park around 4:00 and started the drive home. We had to stop for dinner and for dog food since we had run out earlier in the week and we had to feed Misty scraps. There was major traffic in Jacksonville where they had shut down a section of the freeway. We made it to Savannah at 1:00 in the morning and by then we were both so tired we couldn’t make it the last hour to Statesboro so we crashed at the Home Depot parking lot. We got some breakfast at Chick-Fil-A first thing in the morning and headed back to Statesboro in time for our appointment with the hairstylist that is teaching me how to cut everyones hair. My mom and Josh are hard to cut and Josh has a spot where I went too high with the clippers now but Timmy and Nathan are pretty easy and she didn’t have to correct much on their haircuts.

I think this was one of our best trips to Disney. Josh is old enough now that he really enjoys it and was in awe the whole time. When we were leaving he acted like all of the employees had personally invited him there and he waved bye to each and every one. He also had to stop and talk to each employee on the way out after we returned the stroller to show them the stickers that someone had given him. I am looking forward to our next trip in March. I am going to try to plan our trip out a little more so I can get reservations at some of the restaurants that we enjoy. I also want to get reservations for Nathan and me to go on an off-road Segway tour of Fort Wilderness. I tried to get reservations on this trip but they were already fully booked.
