On our last day at Disney the weather turned cold & windy, and the sun was hidden by the grey skies. We said our goodbyes to half of our family that morning as Uncle Dan has to catch an early flight, and Grandpa & Grandma were eager to get on the rode with winter storm they would be facing on the drive back to Iowa. There was also a blizzard headed right for NY, so our flight home later that evening had already been canceled. Lucky for us we were able to re-book for the next day and stay an extra night at the hotel (for a pretty penny) or at least that was the plan when we left for the park that day.
Our last family picture at Disney! The kids were not at all interested in taking another picture...they just wanted to eat their popcorn and go back to the hotel to warm-up and play with all the stuff they got at Disney!
We said our goodbyes to Mimi & Poppy, Uncle B, Aunt M, Carter, Parker, and Ryder and then headed back to the room to relax and play. Katie and Iwent back to the park that evening for one last ride on Space Mountain and it was on our way back to the hotel that our travel plans really started to unravel...our flight for the next day had been canceled! The next 24 hours was very interesting to say the least...nerve racking and frustrating is what comes to mind when I think back. We were Disney'd out and staying at our hotel any longer was not an option! We could get re-booked on a flight until Thursday (it was Sunday), we were going to have to rent 2 cars because there were no minivans available (you can't fit 5 people plus their luggage into just any vehicle), we couldn't find a hotel, the list goes on, and on of the problems we were encountering, and check-out was at 11am the next morning! Lucky for us, after looking into an idea my sister put into my head, we began Christmas Vacation Part 2, Texas!
