Well, today was our last day at Walt Disney World. We decided to check out early and get our rental car before heading over to the Contemporary for a character breakfast at Chef Mickey’s. First I feel the need to mention how wonderful the car rental service (National) is at the WDW Dolphin where we … Continue reading "Traveling with Little Ones – Day 8 – The Finale"

Today we had an additional day at Magic Kingdom planned. Each morning we have a target time where we all try to meet up in the lobby of our hotel to go to the parks together.
