The last day of our vacation was spent at Hollywood Studios. We only did a half day here because some folks in our party had to get back to work the next day, and it was actually cheaper (with the Magic Your Way Package) to buy four tickets instead of three. So, we decided to stop in at this park and check it out as our last little bit of fun.
It has a fun old Hollywood feel, with actors acting out scenes randomly and tall palm trees lining the streets.
Wait a minute . . . are we in New York?
We weren't at this park for long, but one of the things we really wanted to do was the Disney Junior Show. Our girls LOVE Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Doc McStuffins and Jake and the Neverland Pirates, so this was something we didn't want to miss.
It was cute, interactive and had lots of fun surprises through out. The only bummer is how high the puppets are up on the stage. The audience is sitting on the floor. It's a little hard to see. We still enjoyed it though.
While we were at the Disney Junior Show Kyle, Emmy, Kale and Liz went to ride the Tower of Terror! They loved it of course and rode it multiple times.
Next, we all headed over to the Rocking Roller Coaster with our fastpasses.
Here we are right before our ride!
We all loved it! Sooooo fun!!!
The grandparents did it too!
Pa surprised the girls with bubble guns! You want to talk about going through bubble solution fast!
They loved them and they were a great distraction while we were pushing them in their strollers.
Next we headed over for the Pixar Pals parade. We saw some really fun and familiar friends in this one!
After the parade it was time to say goodbye to Disney World and head back home.
We all found it hard to leave and several (definitely NOT me) got a little teary-eyed at the thought of it coming to an end. Maybe it's because it's "the most magical place on Earth" or because we loved spending time together, or maybe it was a much needed break from the norm or probably because it's a combination of all those things.
In addition to all those things, for me, it's about the ones who got this whole thing started.
I'll always think of Nannie and Pop when I think of Disney World. Oh how I miss them! They taught me so much about life and how to celebrate it too! We've made many memories here throughout the years, with giant video cameras (how Pop would laugh if he could see that we take videos on our phones now!), fanny packs, tall socks and short shorts, lots of different hair styles, patience, lots of sweat (especially that year we went in August!) and mostly with the love of family. I was thrilled to be able to make even more sweet memories this year with the newest additions to our family.
And to end my series about Disney here are some photo flashbacks from our previous trips :)

Fun times y'all . . fun times!

This is my favorite post!!! We are so blessed aren't we!? The flashbacks were great, Audrey! It made me miss Nannie and Pop so much. I love our family! Thanks for recording all these memories on your blog. It will be very special to all of us as time keeps passing.
*important note- i made some flippin sweet painted t-shirts for our 1993 trip, no big deal really:) I'm pictured wearing the turquoise Mickey, Donald, goofy silhouette montage t-shirt. It's a classic.
Thanks Shanda! So glad you put in that "important note!" Made me laugh out loud!
