Disney Day Five (departure day)

It wasn't the easiest proposition for the adults to get out of bed and get moving on Sunday morning, after our global beer tour the night before.  But we managed it with some urging from the kids, who were eager to visit the Magic Kingdom one last time before leaving for our evening flight.

We hit the rockets (yet another variation of the Dumbo ride, with a fraction of the line), the Buzz Lightyear ride, grabbed some lunch and then made it through the Peter Pan ride just in time to catch a bus back to the hotel, gather our things and head for the airport.

Flying  home in the evening turned out to be not the greatest idea Sylvie's Dad has ever had.  The kids - all of whom were GREAT throughout the Disney trip - finally hit the wall on the way to the airport.  The flight home was a little bit challenging.  Still, we did get some more Disney time, so I suppose it was worth it.  I think the kids would agree.  

Throughout the trip I tried in vain to get a good family photo with the iconic Disney Castle in the background.  This represents "the one that got away" - a great shot taken by Chris, ruined by my failure to set the camera to compensate for the back lighting.  The original is just three silhouettes.  A little enhancement reveals a shadow of the photo that might have been...

Sadly, there are limits even to what Photoshop can do.

Phew.  That was a LOT of photos to go through.  For the record, I took 937 total during the trip, culled down to exactly 500 when all was said and done.  Anyone who might be interested can see them all in our Disney 2010 Gallery.

We had a fantastic time at Disney World, and will undoubtedly be going back.  The Greens were wonderful "hosts" (I can say that, because they treat Disney like a second home).  Awesome time.

Now on to the video...
