Friday was our last full day at the parks and also our last day with my mom and aunt with us. They came to the park that morning hitting up all the rides we missed the first time through Magic Kingdom.

| Cinderella |
One of the highlights of this day was meeting Elena and Cinderella. Mara loves the Disney Junior show Elena so it was really neat that she was there to meet as well. There wasn't a lot of other rides we had missed the first day so we also got some shopping done!

| Maddy wasn't so sure about this. |
From there we headed backto the hotel where they got packed and said our good byes. Lunch was served and a much needed rest was taken. I also took on the task of laundry while the rain came down around us. As the week went on the rain seemed to be happening earlier and earlier in the day. This actually worked out really nice for us this day.

| Naps were a must |
With laundry and naps done, we headed back to Magic Kingdom. We really wanted to have the girls see the fireworks and Josh had one more roller coaster he wanted to ride. While he headed there, I took the girls on round two of some of our favorites. We got to do Ariel's ride and Winnie the Pooh before he caught up with us to find out spots for the show.

| glow sticks |
The fireworks were magical. I mean that sounds corney but Disney does such a great idea. We loved watching the castle transform to the different Disney shows and the corresponding fireworks behind it. I had also purchased some glow sticks previously so it just made a fun ending to a wonderful week. :)
Our last day we had planned to spend at the waterpark. Although we did get there when it opened we didn't really have a ton of time. The Florida storms rolled in about noon and that was it for the rest of the day. I felt really bad for Josh as he wasn't able to ride any of the larger water slides before we had to make a mad dash for the bus with the rest of the park.

| Kind of makes my heart melt |
That afternoon we headed back to Epcot to meet up with one of my besties and her husband who live down there. We hadn't seen them since our last time in Florida and were excited to catch up. We grabbed dinner in Italy at an amazing pizza place and just roamed around the countries. We topped the night off with some fireworks!
I can't say enough about this vacation. Sure the heat and the rain made some parts of it hard but the magic more than made up for it. Watching my girls' faces (even Maddy at her young age) was the best. Mara still talks in length about the trip and I cannot wait to take them back when they are older. Thank you Usborne for such an amazing time. I know we wouldn't have thought of this trip had it not been offered.
