Disney World, 2018, Days 7-9

We are on the last leg of our Disney Vacay.  Only three days left! We were already getting sad about leaving.  Day 7 was spent at the resort and the Blizzard Beach waterpark and then a half day at Animal Kingdom.  Brad and I basically let the kids ride all the rides and do what they wanted to do at the waterpark.  We would have them check in every 30 minutes or so.  We got there when the park opened, and we left around three, which was fine, because it was beginning to look like rain. The waterpark had a nice sandy area in front of the wave pool, where we decided to camp out for the afternoon.  Much like the resort, there was a drink mug that you could buy to get free refills.  They had slushies as part of the free refill as well, so the kids took full advantage of this.  We got to try the beach sand pail full of ice cream.  The kids loved it.  It was able to feel all of us. Overall, it was a good day to sit back and relax, especially since we went so hard at the parks. When we got back to the resort, we got cleaned up and dressed for a night at Animal Kingdom.  We had another ride we had a fast pass for in the world of Pandora.  For an early dinner, we ate in Pandora at Satu'li Canteen.  We had the cheeseburger steamed pods because we had heard so much about them.  We also tried the blueberry cream cheese mouse, which was hands down, one of my favorite desserts to date, in the parks.  We didn't do much in the park except ride some rides and we did our fast passes.

Since we really haven't spent much time at our resort, we decided to sleep in just a tad bit on day 8, begin to prepare to head home, and hang out at the resort pool.  We enjoyed the morning exploring and relaxing.  The Caribbean Beach resort has a huge themed pool not far from our room.  It was set up like an old Spanish fort.  There were slides and lots of places to sit and relax. Goofy and Daisy came out to entertain the kids.  They had fun pool games to keep the kids entertained.

                 



 We decided we needed a little park therapy in the afternoon, so we voted, and the kids decided that we would hit up Magic Kingdom. I was happy with this decision, because I could finally try out a DOLE WHIP!!!  We rode a few rides, got a few pictures, then we decided to take the Monorail over to Epcot.  Riding the Monorail was one thing that we wanted to do, so we decided to make the most of it.  While at Epcot, we visited the countries that we didn't get to see the first day we visited.  We rode some rides, met a lot of characters and we ended up eating dinner in Mexico at La Cantina de San Angel.  I'm not a heavy drinker, but I ended up getting a margarita.  I'm in Mexico, so I felt like it was a must.  Well, that margarita hit me hard! I was a bit giddy after finishing my one small drink.  We were glad that we made an entire day of it, and we headed back to the resort late to finish packing.  Before we left, we had some snack credits that we needed to spend, so we got a bunch of packaged rice krispie treats to take home.  We figured they would be good snacks for the road. We have had a long, fun and exciting week. We were sad that it was over. It is no longer a one and done type of vacation. We will most certainly try to get here every so often!

We wanted this balloon picture so bad!

We loved riding the monorail.  It was relaxing and it gave us a look around some of the parks and resorts that we had not seen.

Our last and final picture in any of the parks. We were happy that we had such
An amazing time, but we were also sad to be leaving it all behind.

On our last and final day, we didn't have any more park tickets, but we did have one more dining reservation planned.  We had an Ohana breakfast scheduled.  We had heard mixed revues, so we were excited to see what the hype was all about.  The resort itself was beautiful.  The lobby was very beachy and cute.  We were in line for our reservation for what felt like forever.  We ended up being seated an hour past our time.  So far, we weren't impressed.  We felt like they had us herded like cattle.  Once we were in and finally seated, we had the best view of the entire place, I swear!  The family dining experience was neat.  They sat a large bowl in the middle of the table, with waffles, meats, eggs and potatoes. They had a breakfast juice that was quite yummy.  We had also heard about their bread service, and it was to die for!  During breakfast, Mickey, Lilo and Stitch came to visit the table. Sophie and I had on our Stitch ears and shirts on for the occasion.
