After leaving Tomorrowland my daughter checked the app and saw that Winnie the Pooh and Tigger would be out doing a meet and greet near the Winnie the Pooh ride so that is where we headed next (I love having the Disney app on my phone and not having to rush to a ride or experience only to find out the line is too long or the character is not out at the moment). We did have to wait a few minutes for Winnie and Tigger to take a "break" but in the end it was worth it. Winnie the Pooh has always been my daughters favorite character in the park (and she just happened to be wearing a Pooh shirt that we picked up at Uniqlo at Disney Springs a few days before). Over the years she has had some really cool experiences with him and this trip ended up being no different.
When you are having the Best Day Ever (but trying not to think to much about the fact that its your last day in the parks) hanging out with friends. LOL
I swear at one point Tigger was flirting with me!
When you take a photo with your friends!
But then you embarrass Winnie when you start stripping down so he can autograph your shirt (apparently they can autograph your shirt, you just can't be wearing it at the time). And thankfully she had a tank on underneath it. Although how she handled wearing that in 95 plus degree weather I will never know.
I loved the way Pooh seemed to be so attentive to her. It didn't matter that she was an adult. Disney Magic at its best! Just a reminder that you are never too old for Disney!
Strolling through Fantasyland!
I love the look of the outside of the Little Mermaid area!!!
Gaston's Tavern.
The Beast castle!
We had to hightail it over to Frontierland for our Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Fastpass at 12:50.
The Riverboat Cruise was on our list of things to ride but sadly we never did get a chance to get on it.
I have yet to make a trip to the island! After riding Thunder Mountain we had hoped to catch the train back over to Fantasyland so that we could see more characters. But sadly after a few minutes of waiting we were told that they trains were not working. Another item on our list that will have to wait until our next trip. I love riding the train because it reminds me of the trains at my second favorite park which is Busch Gardens in our home state.
After walking back towards Fantasyland we headed to the Big Tent (another first on this trip) to see Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Minnie Mouse.
Goofy is one of my favorites so I had to take a picture with him before leaving! He was also one of the few characters Marc wanted to take a photo with. LOL
Donald was flirting as well. Kept trying to whisper in my ear!!!! LOL
After being in the park for most of the morning and a better part of the afternoon we caught a boat over to Wilderness Lodge to check out the Geyser Point Bar and Grill Restaurant. I have a separate blog post up with a review on it
here.
The moment when I pretty much made up my mind that we would not be doing anymore summer trips to Disney (unless I get Grands lol).
I have never considered the Wilderness Lodge Resort a resort that I would want to stay at but (and all though its not my first time visiting the resort) for some reason on this trip I actually started to like the themeing and I could even see my family staying here a few nights (granted we would have to win the lottery to make that dream a reality lol).
I can't swim a lick but for some reason the water boats are my favorite mode of transportation at Disney!
We headed back to Magic Kingdom, caught the boat back to the Ticket and Transportation Center so that we could catch the monorail to Epcot (we would come back later that evening and close out our visit at Magic Kingdom. Anyone else besides me have a hard time on that last day when you know you are going to be leaving the most Happiest Place in the World and going back home? Stay tuned for next week when we close out our last day in the parks at Epcot!!!!
