We're a little "off", partly because being sick has cost us some hours, partly because of that move we had to make in the middle of the night, and partly because Disney decided to close Blizzard Beach for refurbishment before it was originally scheduled. We always plan well, but this has been the best planned trip to date with the worst actual following of the plan!
This morning, we went back to Hollywood Studios to catch a few of our favorites one more time. I think I have enjoyed Hollywood Studios more on this trip than ever before, and I just about can't wait until the new Pixar and Star Wars additions! We couldn't get back on Toy Story Mania (without waiting a really long time), but we did get fastpasses for another showing of the Frozen Sing Along, one more ride on Rockin' Roller Coaster, and Star Tours (which only Seth and Grace did again):

"Snow" to end the Sing Along:
I have decided it is simply impossible

We had hoped to spend the afternoon at Disney Quest, but now Phil is feeling sick, so instead we purchased more cold medicine at Walmart and spent some more time at the cabin. No big deal. Plenty of time left.
One of the hidden gems of Disney that we discovered on our last trip was the Chip and Dale campfire sing-along followed by the electric water pageant and fireworks viewed on the beach at Fort Wilderness. As a kid, I remember seeing the electric water pageant from the monorail and loving it. It's not really a major attraction or anything, but it is a fun little show. We hauled hot dogs and more stuff for s'mores than any one family could actually consume down to the campfire and proceeded to have a tasty (if messy) dinner followed by the Hokey Pokey (wait, where did my teenagers go) and a trip to the beach. I'm not sure there is anything more peaceful than just sitting at the seven seas lagoon, in the dark, watching the night light up. The only complaint I have is that the speaker system was really quiet, so we couldn't hear the soundtrack for Hallow Wishes.

As it turns out, it was also a fabulous day for family selfies...
