Final Day in Disneyland

 For our final day of the trip, we were in "easy mode". We started off by rope dropping the big rides in Studios before the lines got crazy. N, S and I rode Crush's Coaster.

Then S waited with Curt while N did Tower of Terror again with me this time.

It looks so serene from the outside...

For lunch, we wandered over to Disneyland to eat at Walt's. On the way in, N saw one of her favorite characters, so we stood in line for Winnie the Pooh (and got to see the parade again from the line).

Lunch was incredible...this restaurant is worth all the hype! The décor was stunning, the food delicious, the service impeccable. What a great memory!

This time S got the signature dessert

Curt now had to do the "back to the room to rest" thing, so the girls and I spent a couple of hours in the afternoon riding more rides, including the horrible Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril (ohhh, so rough!!) which was S's first loop-de-loop coaster! 

We finally rode everything the park had to offer, and S wanted very much to do Big Thunder one last time. As we got there, we discovered the ride had e-stopped and was being evacuated. We hung around for a few minutes to see if this would be a quick restart, but it looked like it was unlikely, so we headed back to the hotel for some time at the pool before dinner.

I can see our room!

Once we had enough pool time, we went back to the room to pack, and then walked across the "lagoon" to the New York Hotel. This had just recently been re-themed to the Avengers, and was all modern and sleek. Not my favorite style to stay in, but really fun to visit.

Hallway to the restaurant

Dinner was buffet style with Italian, American, and Chinese food offerings. The kids were *finally* able to eat their fill, and N made it her goal to eat every single dessert offering available. She succeeded! Perhaps to her regret for a while afterwards. 😜

This was only plate 1 of 3...

After dinner, I checked the app and saw that Big Thunder had re-opened. N offered to take her sister over for one more ride. I would've joined them if my feet weren't hurting so much, but I also thought it was a great opportunity for them to spend some sister-time together. So, off they went while Curt and I went back to the lounge for another drink before finishing the packing, and confirming our driver's arrival time for the morning.

We didn't take many pictures this day, but the rest are here:  https://link.shutterfly.com/99aLje0tdsb
