The Duncans Do Disney, Evening Five and Morning Six: Clambake at the Beach Club Resort and the Flight HOME!

OK, folks. With the exception of a planned post-Christmas post about our life-altering experience on the Dinosaur ride, this will end my telling of The Duncan Family's 2007 trip to Disney World. I am exhausted just sitting here thinking about all we crammed into five days. And the following three photos can describe, far better than I ever could, the level of exhaustion I think we were all feeling towards the end. This is Jack, on the ferry, on the way to the Beach Club Friday night for dinner. Enjoying the view one second and then all of a sudden...

Poor thing just conked right out. We were even able to transfer him over to the stroller and (despite looking oh, so uncomfortable) he squeezed in a nice little cat nap before dinner. We had reservations that night for a "nostalgic New-England style clambake and celebration" at the Cape May Cafe. Once again, like a broken record, it was fantastic!

I am sad to say that I had pretty much stopped taking photos at this point because I, too, was just done.I did manage to get a good one of the lighthouse on the pier and one of my pretty blue adult beverage. (This particular adult beverage was created in honor of the "Year of a Million Dreams" celebration and I only ordered it because of the sparkly blue souvenier ice cube, just so you know.)

After dinner, hardly able to breathe we were so stuffed, we headed back home (also known as the All Star Movies Resort) to pack and fall into bed. The following morning, Disney transpotation picked us up for the airport at 9:30. The kids had fun watching cartoons and talking about all the things we had done.

Once inside the airport and through security, Jack and Spencer pulled out their Buzz Lightyear Whirly Things (which Uncle Jeremy nicknamed the Useless Toy) and for the next hour and a half the conversation went something like this: "I'm Buzz Lightyear! No, I'm Buzz Lightyear!! No, I'm Buzz Lightyear!!!". And so on and so on.

The flight home was great - much less cloudy than the first one. For some reason, I felt much better about being up there as long as I could see the ground below! I sat next to Jack on the plane and one second he was enjoying the ride and then all of a sudden..

He just couldn't keep those baby browns open anymore!

We had an amazing time at Disney World and will treasure the memories we made with each other and our sweet Jack forever. It was terrific being with family and I am grateful to Buddy and DeeDee for making it happen for all of us. It truly was Magical!
