Today was our last moments at Disney. We left our gorgeous kidani Village room and drove to the Polynesian resort to go to the Mickey and friends breakfast at Ohana. I just love Ohana. So kid-oriented. It leaves a warm feeling in my heart. Once we got our buzzer, we were given a lei each and posed for a family photo for the local photographer.. Then the buzzer for our table went. We got in just as the kids and Characters were doing a parade around the rest...

Our last early wake up day! Disney Hollywood Studios was on our agenda and it was a wonderful day. Thankfully both Zac and I felt a lot better. There were great quality movie shows to see and rides to experience at this park. We got to play a shooting-for-points game Toy Story style. I was impressed with the attention to all the rooms that await us before we enter each ride. Again, short lines!! We saw an American Idol show that was just like the real tv s...

We did Space Mountain. It had so many fast twists and turns at high speed in the dark; I was s...

It was also a 'Character meal' which means Disney character come to your table to sign autographs and pose for photos. The 7 yr old was so very excit...

7th- We were up early and lined up for our second day at Epcot. Yet again, our system of running to get Fast-passes for the super popular rides worked a treat! We also got to visit the countries we had missed. The big disappointment was that the one real souvenir I wanted for myself is no longer sold in 'Canada '. Anne of Green Gables..... Boohooey!!! Our lunch in 'France' involved escargot ( snails) and real French onion soup. By the time we got home we ...
