Our flight wasn't until 7:35 p.m. and since we had not purchased park tickets for our last day, we decided to go to Disney Springs. Next best thing, right? We had to be back by 4:35 that afternoon to catch Magical Express but still had plenty of time to eat lunch and shop.
We had a leisurely morning at the resort. We slept in, showered and then Phillip took the girls to get breakfast while I finished packing up. We did the whole airline check-in thing and then rode the bus to Disney Springs.
We ate at Wolfgang Puck Express (used our last 3 meals credits) and went to several shops. UNIQLO (a Japanese store), Once Upon a Toy and Tren-D were some of my favorites.
Just like at Disney World, we did not get to see and do everything, but I thoroughly enjoyed the hours we got to spend at Disney Springs. So much so, I don't think we'll plan another Disney vacation that doesn't include a trip to Disney Springs.

We said one last goodbye to Mickey on our way out :)
We will miss that pool!
Love me some Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives :)

We had a rough flight home (it was good until it was bad). A storm in the Nashville area kept us from landing and we ended up being in the air an extra 30-40 minutes, maybe longer (it felt like an eternity). The lightning was intense. It was like being on a never-ending roller coaster. I had my sick bag out but thankfully did not have to use it. Everyone cheered when we landed. That is one plane ride I will never forget!
I know it looks like the pilot navigated us around the storm, but it sure felt like we flew right through it!

Andrea, Caleb and the kids were in Florida this week and were able to experience Pandora. They got to ride Flight of Passage... after a 5 hour wait! She sent me a few pictures. It looks really neat!

Overall, we had a great Disney vacation and are already looking forward to the next one :)
