Today was such a perfect close to our Disneyland vacation. Since we decided to take a later flight out of LA we had almost another full day in the park. We started out trying some beignet's:
Will was content to watch the train this whole vacation. It was so much fun watching him get excited each and every time we heard or saw it.
We decided to take Will on Its a Small World again:
We happened to catch Princess Tiana's Mardi Gras Celebration:
I finally got my corn dog in New Orleans Square:
Back at the hotel for nap time:
Will woke up from his nap around 2:45pm and so we debated what to do. We could take the 3pm shuttle and get the airport extra early or walk back to the park and ride the Disneyland Train around the park one last time. If it would have been entirely up to me I would have just taken the 3pm shuttle and gotten to the airport early, because that's me, I like to be early :). But we decided to go back to the park and have a leisurely last hour at Disneyland.
Ha ha were we wrong! The park seemed extra crowded but we patiently waited in line to get on the Disneyland Train. We waited, and waited, and waited. Finally it was our turn to get on and after a few stops I looked down at my watch and oh crap it was 3:45, our shuttle left at 4! So we decided out fastest way out was to jump off in Tomorrowland and ride the Mono Rail back to Downtown Disney and then hurry to the hotel to grab our bags. We get off the train and quickly get to the Mono Rail station to see it is packed! There was no way we could wait and decided to just book it through the park. The only problem was there was a parade going on so half the streets were blocked off! It was so crazy.
We finally made it out of the park and ran to the hotel. It was 4:05 pm, oh man! Mike ran up to room and I ran to the shuttle just as they were loading the last passenger. I told the driver my husband was right behind me with our bags and quickly collapsed the stroller and threw it in the luggage container. We waited what seemed like forever and finally Mike made it struggling with ALL of our bags! I ran over and helped him and we luckily made our shuttle! It was so crazy, and SO unlike me! I blame it on a week of fabulous vacation that took over the logical part of my brain :)
On the shuttle:
We could not have asked for a better vacation! Both Mike and I agree it was one of our best vacations ever. I think getting to watch Will experience all the new things was so rewarding. He loved it. Although we had a few rough moments, Will was so good the whole trip. He was such a happy boy and I am pretty sure we have a little traveler on our hands! Now who wants to go back with us?!!!
