Magical Vacation (Part 6)


Today went much like the days before...lots of eating, lots of playing, lots more eating, some more playing...but it ended like no other day -- we went to the Pirate & Princess Party at Magic Kingdom!!!!(This is a picture of Ronan on our way to Magic Kingdom via the ferry boat. He was in the best mood and so happy to be on it!)


Before we left for the trip, I was pretty much against going, mostly because it was an additional $150 in tickets for us to go. I figured we would have already spent enough time at the Magic Kingdom and I couldn't justify spending more money, just to be there at night. I was completely wrong! We decided the night before to go ahead and splurge, considering it was our last night on vacation and it was probably the best $150 we had spent on this vacation. They basically sell separate tickets for this event, so even if you were there all day, they require you to buy a new ticket to stay. So, the park practically cleared out and there we were, able to jump on 9, count 'em, 9 rides within 2 1/2 hours. Ryan and I were even able to walk onto Space Mountain (I literally did not wait. I walked through and sat down and was off the ride within 5 minutes!) It was such a fun night and looking back on it now, I'm so happy we did it because we have the best memories from that evening.

The fireworks were spectacular that night. I wish I would have taken pictures, but I was in the moment, enjoying them. They looked like they came from all over the park and it had to have been the biggest display of fireworks I have ever seen.

Still makes me sad to think that the Pirate & Princess Party was our last night there....
