Disney, Day Seven






Our last full day of Disney fun. We were up and out before the sun was even up to Chef Mickey's for breakfast. We saw Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto. Then we were back to the Magic Kingdom, Gabby's favorite. We rode the carousel with Goofy right after we got there. Then we took Gabby on some new rides like Splash Mountain, Goofy's Barnstormer and Space Mountain. She loved Splash Mountian, although she wore her poncho so she wouldn't get wet. She learned how to raise her hands on a roller coaster on Goofy's Barnstormer. She was barely tall enough to ride Space Mountain (which came back to get us later).
We rode all the rides she wanted to ride. It rained in the afternoon and we found out that Dumbo is also a water ride. Yes, we rode it in the rain! I don't have any pictures - the camera was under the poncho for safe-keeping.
As our day came to an end, we had our worst moment. She wanted to ride Space Mountain as her last ride before we left. So we went back over and although her head touched the measure stick at the end of the line and front of the line earlier in the day (see picture), it did not at the measure stick in the middle of the line, which is where they were measuring at this time. The guy would not let her measure at one of the other sticks and would not let her ride. She was heartbroken and Daddy held her while she sobbed for thirty minutes. Meanwhile, our time was growing short and we did not want to end on such a bad note so we were trying to talk her into other things. Finally she was persuaded to visit Tinkerbell's shop to pick out something and then ride Splash Mountain before the park closed for the day. We went back to the room and all collapsed in the bed - worn out!
