Day 7 - Our LAST full day. So sad.. Hollywood Studios, EPCOT and Kaitlin's BIG SURPRISE!

The last day of vacation is always the worst.  The dread of heading home is never fun.  But we were definitely excited for the day ahead!!

We started out our morning at Hollywood Studios.  We were happy that Kaitlin met us at the hotel super early so we could be there at rope drop.  Hollywood is one of the only places we always hit at rope drop.  And lets be honest, its for Toy Story Mania.  If you get there at rope drop, you can grab fast passes very quickly and still get on the ride before it becomes an hour long wait!

We almost ALWAYS ride Toy Story as it opens, go visit Buzz and Woody then hit it again with our fast passes.  This trip was no different.  Campbell was getting better with the characters, but still not 100% sold.

 

After we did our Toy Story things, we headed towards Star Tours.  On our way, we ran into Donald Duck, Campbell and I decided to stop and say hello, while the boys and Kaitlin rode Star Tours.  He did like Donald and kept saying "quack, quack"

 

The boys rode Star Tours, then we headed over to check out a few more characters.  Unfortunately, we couldn't find many yet as it was still early.  After a few more things, we headed to MK for lunch and the Buzz ride.  Yes we are crazy, but it was our last day and the boys needed to ride Buzz one more time.  We ate at Casey's for hot dogs and nachos then hit up Buzz a few times.  After Buzz, we headed back to the room for a rest.  We had a big night ahead and definitely needed a good rest!  While the boys all napped, I did a lot of packing so we would be ready the next morning.  

After nap, we headed over to EPCOT for a little fun.  The big boys did Test Track while Campbell and I got a Starbucks treat!  We happened to run into Kaitlin and Reid before heading back to Test Track, which was a nice surprise.  They were celebrating their anniversary at EPCOT (with a surprise to come later).  Test Track took a little longer than we were hoping because it was raining so it wasn't running.  We then headed over to Soarin'.  While the big boys rode Soarin', Campbell and I hit up Innoventions and the Disney VISA Character Meet and Greet.  I am SO glad we did it because Campbell fell in love the Mouse.  They danced together and had so much fun.  No one else was waiting so he got plenty of time to party!  If you have a Disney VISA you need to go!  You get one on one time with characters AND a free picture :)

picture time!

After our adventures, we headed to dinner at the Land again.  We then hit the Coke Refreshment place.  I love watching people try the gross drinks :)  We let Campbell have his first taste of watermelon soda.  He loved it.  We don't allow soda in our house and Burke can't stand it because its "spicy" but it is Disney World :)

After we hit the Coke stand, we rushed to meet Kaitilin and Reed for the illuminations show.  Reed had reserved a special area.  We did stop for light up toys and learned the outside stands take cash only.  BIG MISTAKE. NO CASH?  Luckily we found some inside and then traded for outside toys :)

We finally caught up with Reed and Kaitlin and enjoyed a great fireworks show.  The seating was amazing and as the fireworks ended, we witnessed Reed propose!!!!!!!!!!  It was so awesome! Kaitlin was so excited and so are we!  

 My phone died so I didn't get the ring picture, but it was pretty awesome!!  Its the Disney Rapunzel engagement ring.  Very fitting :)

After a very fun day, we sadly said good bye and headed back to our room.  We had to catch the bus at 9a back to the airport, so we needed to get some rest! As we walked to our room Campbell stopped at every car and kissed it goodnight.  He's so cute!

What an amazing trip!  We had so much fun and I am SO glad we went.  I love Disney World so much, but I love time with my family even more!
