Walt Disney World, Florida
We were both pretty mopey this morning. Last day at Disney and we really aren’t ready to go. I mean who really wants the magic to end? We went to the shops in Downtown Disney to return some clothes for some smaller sizes, and treated ourselves to ice cream sundaes at Ghirardelli. Then we packed up some of the inside stuff in the trailer to prep ourselves for an early take-off in the morning.
After running around and exhausting ourselves, we had to remind ourselves that this IS the LAST day at Disney! We hopped a bus to the Magic Kingdom. It was a late pass night for hotel guests and the park wasn’t closing until Midnight.
We rode the Haunted Mansion, and Thunder Mountain, and then headed over to the big one – Splash Mountain. I’ve always liked Splash Mountain, because inside the mountain you float around singing about laughing places and watching the tale of Brer Rabbit unfold. Brer Rabbit stories have been one of my favorites since I was five. As you come out of a tunnel your log floats in a track that curves around edge of the ride, and you get to watch other riders in their logs plummet into the depths of the “Briar Patch”.
Right now, being our last night, we were in need of a laughing place. Well, we found it. Those folks heading for that Briar patch kick up a lot of water and from the front seat of our log boat we got to see it ALL, and wear it ALL. We looked like two drowned rats. At first Suzie was pretty steamed, but I just couldn’t quit laughing. I had been foolish enough to look up as the water was falling, so most of what hit me went down the inside of my raincoat, and the front of my shirt, and then it soaked my underpants. It didn’t take her long to find her laughing place too.
We got off the ride singing Zippity Do Dah and had a great evening.
