Heading home

Sunday was a busy day -
Check out was at 10... which came way too early :)
But we made it and were pulling out of the hotel parking garage at 10:05. We foolishly thought we would be able to have breakfast on property this morning... silly tourists, breakfast ends at 10:30.
So, after a few failed attempts we just headed to the Magic Kingdom... surely they have food somewhere over there ;)

Main Street on a low crowd day!
The park is all decorated for fall and the Halloween party they have each year. Pumpkin a-plenty.
We hit the Main St. Bakery for some food and coffee. Then we were off - we haven't been on our own in this park for a long time. So we enjoyed the time riding rides together and taking pictures.
Here come new area pictures and construction pictures!

The new Circus area with 2 Dumbo rides!
Barnstormer is back! 
Casey Jr, as a water feature? But the kids are having fun.
New construction, looks like Prince Eric's castle?
Soon to be a 7 dwarf mine coaster!
New walls around Fantasyland
Standing where Dumbo used to be.
And don't you LOVE low crowd days!

After our fun in the Magic Kingdom and a fabulous lunch at Liberty Tree, we headed to the airport.
The flight home was good.We noticed a handful of people on the plane who had run the race the night before. And as a very special treat, as we were flying over Wyoming, we saw the Northern Lights!
Out our window in the distance! I have never seen them before... well, in movies or pictures of course, but never live, with my own eyes! So we were pretty excited. Amazing. 

It was a great fun adventure. And we are happy to be home again with our kiddos.
