We spent our last day at Disney at the Magic Kingdom doing all of our favorite things. They had extended morning hours, so we were there to watch the park open -- it's one of my favorite things to do there!
Then, we headed right for the Buzz Lightyear ride. There was no line, since it was 8 a.m., so we rode it and then got right back on it!
We also rode the cars in Tomorrow Land. Let's just say that Logan has a ways to go before he's going to be ready to drive! It keeps you on the general course, but you have to press the gas and steer a little. He hit his lip on the steering wheel. I was glad when that ride was finally over!!
Then Zeb and Logan did the teacups.
We also rode Peter Pan and Under the Sea. We had to stop at Gaston's for a cinnamon roll and another frozen apple juice. We loved that apple juice so much!
We went back to our hotel for Logan and Zeb to go to the pool while I did laundry. We hate coming home with a lot of dirty clothes, so we like washing everything before we get home.
In the evening, we went back to the Magic Kingdom. In Adventure Land, they have a new thing where you get a treasure map and search for a treasure. They have clues all around Adventure Land and one clue takes you to the next, etc. Logan LOVED this. We did two hunts earlier in the week and promised him we would do one more before we left.
Earlier in the week, he found a skull with a tiki on it. He found this on his own and he just KNEW that it had to be a clue. We were oblivious at the time. But that evening, earlier in the week, when we left for our hotel, Logan kept talking about the "Tiki on the head." And he wouldn't stop asking about it. He would say, "Mom, what about the Tiki on the head. I know it's there. I'm telling the truth." We had NO idea what he was talking about. But he just kept saying it over and over and over (and OVER and OVER.) We would try to ask him questions to figure out what he was talking about, but we could get no more information from him. He wanted to know how that all fit in. It got to the point that when he would bring it up, I would just laugh because that's what I do when I get frustrated/nervous, etc. Poor guy.
So, Thursday, we did our last treasure hunt and the first clue led us to a tiki engraved on a skull. He was hysterically happy. He was SO excited. And so were we. It all made sense now. So, we finished that treasure hunt, which was a little anti-climatic because when you get to the last clue, it just says, "Congratulations, you found the treasure!" And for a little boy that's not very exciting.
We ended our night with supper at the Polynesian hotel -- and we were so impressed we think we will stay there next year :)
It was terribly sad to leave on Friday morning. We had such a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the time at Disney, but most of all, spending time together as a family.
