After a little afternoon rest, we headed back to MK for EMH until 1am. We managed to ride 4 rides in an hour which is pretty impressive with a crowded park...thanks to fast passes.
After that we found a spot for the parade and fireworks!
Last time I was there, I was not a fan of this parade, but this time I just loved it. Maybe it was because we had the castle in the background...idk!
These next two pictures would have been awesome had I had a tripod. I can't decide what to do when I go back this summer...I really do not want to carry a tripod everywhere but would love to get the perfect firework picture. I knew they would not turn out without one but wanted to try it out anyway.
After the fireworks we had a couple of hours to ride the rest of the rides on our list and find something to eat for dinner. We had very minimal wait times for all rides and got everything accomplished.
This is from Splash Mountain...so very cute!
We stayed until the final hour of 1 am. We were at the castle when they played the closing song which was just precious! ha! I could not get my camera out in time to video it, and I know when mom and I are there we will not be staying until closing...it will be 3am one night we are there!!
The next morning the plan was to go to AK for EMH at 8am to ride Everest and the Safari ride then head to HS to ride Toy Story again before making one last quick visit to Epcot. My alarm didn't go off or I turned it off, so we missed going back to AK...oh well! We rushed to HS to get there before it opened. Since we had been there so much we knew a quick path to get to Toy Story ahead of the crowd; however, they would not let us go that way. :( We got fast passes and got in line to ride Toy Story. Our fast pass times were a little later, so we had time to ride Rockin' Roller Coaster again! We then went and used our fast passes for Toy Story for the 4th time!!! Seriously best ride ever!
We went to Epcot to ride a few things we had missed and to check out some of the Topiaries for the Flower and Garden Festival. We got fast passes for Soarin', too!
We figured we could get on and off the last ride pretty fast with fast passes...wrong...30 minute wait with fast passes = not good! We had to get back to our resort in time for the bus to take us to the airport...we cut it a little too close, had to run a lot, and made it with 1 minute to spare. I would like to say I am glad we rode the ride one more time, but I really don't know that it was worth it in the end! ha!
Our flight to Nashville was great. We landed in Nashville with messages on our phones about our 6:30 flight from Nashville to home being cancelled. We didn't have a 6:30 flight, so that concerned us just a little bit! My message actually said a delay of 3 hours and that I might want to find alternate transportation. With the roads being flooded, no rental cars available, and no hotels available that was not really an option! After several phone calls to find out what was really going on and after waiting 3 hours to be picked up to go to the other airport, we ended up being delayed about an hour. The flight was actually smooth this time around!
We were definitely thankful to get home after a fun weekend and a brief moment of travel panic!!
