The only family photo from Disney Vacation 2011.
Luckily we had a late enough flight back to Minneapolis that we were able to sleep in on our last day in Orlando. The kids slept until 9:00 am! We went down for breakfast, finished packing, and checked out of the hotel by 11:00am. Overall, it felt like a smooth exit. We got to the hotel and made it through security in good time. Our flight was slightly delayed so we got some snacks and beverages in the Delta Sky Lounge (which had a very nice Southern hospitality motif going for it).
The airplane was only half full, at best, so we were able to spread out across 6 seats which was nice. Sofia sat quietly and watched a movie then took a nap. Ethan, on the other hand, single-handedly tried to RUIN the ENTIRE vacation in the last hour of the flight. I was THAT parent with THAT horrible unruly child. He kicked. He screamed. He blubbered. He refused to wear his seatbelt during the descent so I was literally sitting on him while he kicked, screamed, and blubbered. I seriously contemplated tossing him out the emergency exit door. It was embarrassing. As soon as we were at the gate, Ethan crawled on to my lap, lay his head on my shoulder and instantly fell asleep. It still took awhile for me forgive him. We were on better terms over the weekend then he pulled the evil 3 year old personality out of his back pocket again today, but that's another story for another post (I'll just say that he missed 1/2 day of school today because he refused to get dressed!).
I walked away from this vacation with a much greater knowledge of Disney World but know there is a lot more to learn before our next trip. We definitely need to plan a little more and may also need to expand our horizons (Harry Potter World at Universal Studios!). But I did start my Disney Pin collection so I can start trading as soon as land!
