Let's hope that this unfortunate incident is due to sitting on something!

Steve on the Disney Skyliner to Epcot.

When our time was called, we headed over to the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train for our turn on the ride. We all still truly enjoy this ride, but I also think that we would all agree that we wish the ride itself was longer, especially based on the average wait time for this ride. Regardless, this is a ride that we will always attempt to enjoy.

During our time in the Magic Kingdom it was decided that we wanted to stay for the Happily Ever After fireworks show tonight. As it was getting later in the day, crowds were already beginning to form in front of the castle, so we staked out a spot to the left of the castle. With time to kill before the fireworks began, I booked another DAS pass, this one for the Haunted Mansion. It was just Drew, Steve, and I who wanted to take in this ride. We really enjoyed it, despite frequent stops as we made our way through. The three of us fought the crowds to find our way back to the rest of the group, but we found our access to them completely blocked by the crowd awaiting the fireworks. Drew made his way through, but there was no way we were getting Steve's wheelchair through the mass of people. Eventually Grandma Terry made her way out to swap places with me, and I fought my way back in.

Despite our group being separated, we all enjoyed the fireworks and the projections on the castle. When it was over, Sam and Jay decided to remain in the park (hours had been extended to 11pm) to try to get on a couple of extra rides, while the rest of us decided to head out. As expected, the worst part was getting onto some form of transportation out of the Magic Kingdom. We found our way to the resort monorail and took it over to the Transportation and Ticket Center before finding our way out to our vehicles.

Despite the late hour, we were all pretty hungry, so we continued our trend of stopping at Chili's for dinner. Sam and Jay ended up riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad before calling it a night. They would end up meeting us at Chili's, though Sam only came in to say goodbye and drop Jay off before making her way home. After we all ate, we did the same. Thankfully traffic wasn't bad getting to the restaurant or the remainder of the drive home, so we made pretty good time.

Another great day with my family. I am already looking forward to doing it again! Thank you all!
