"At Home in Hollywood"- Day 5

We had breakfast at Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Resort. This was nice because it was just a quick stop on the monorail. We had breakfast, complete with Mickey Mouse waffles! It was fun posing for pictures with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto. We waved our napkins with the music, and MC decided to get up and dance with Donald Duck.

 
Simply exhausted!

For our last day in the parks, we started our adventures at Hollywood Studios. Mary Conlee says she and Mommy are going to move to Hollywood so she can be a pop star. I guess that means Daddy and Cole will hold down the fort in Mississippi?! The kids were already in love with the Rockin' Rollercoaster, but neither one (nor Judd) would attempt to ride Tower of Terror. That was my hidden agenda for the day! While Cole and Daddy were at the Indiana Jones stunt show, MC and I went to see the live performance of Beauty and the Beast. She was mesmerized! This is one of her favortites since her Daddy was Cogsworth, the clock. It was great seeing the condensed version in 30 minutes. We were supposed to meet the boys after both performances, but she and I took a little detour. I took her to Tower of Terror before she knew what we were doing. That way, she didn't have Cole (or Daddy) to make her more nervous. She was a little reluctant, but got on anyway. After we went through the Twilight Zone story, we plummeted 13 stories...up and down. She was squealing and said she loved it. But when asked if she would ride again, she wasn't too sure. I think she was just glad to get off of it alive! We did coerce the boys to ride with us and they liked it, too!

Facing our fears! Cole wanted a t-shirt proving he had been on Tower of Terror

That afternoon, we came back to the Magic Kingdom for one last visit. Cole and Judd went on every ride one more time. MC and I said it was time for some shopping. We went to Sir Mickey's and Tinker Bell's Treasures. That night, we went to the Spirit of Aloha luau at our resort. It was a fun way to end our trip. We were entertained by hula dancers and guys juggling fire.
