We started off our last day at Disney at Epcot. We found the Character Spot location right away to try and get a few more character pictures and autographs. Lucky for us, we found the "real" Mickey, according to Carson.
Pluto!
Minnie gave Aidan a kiss and Carson couldn't stop laughing. Aidan was so embarrassed!
Donald Duck
Goofy. We had yet to find Goofy on our adventures, so we were pretty happy to find him at Epcot on our last day.
We went to see Talking with Crush (the turtle from Finding Nemo). The kids sat in the front and all the parents had to sit in the back. Aidan and Carson were right in the front row for this interactive show. Aidan was picked to talk with Crush and when asked where he was from, he couldn't remember, so Crush found "Aidan's parents" and we got to talk with Crush too.
This is a picture of the boys after the first downfall of rain. They were totally soaked, but having fun!

They thought they were clever to turn their hats upside down and look like chefs.

Our time at Disney has come to an end, but we had a great time! It was a crazy 4 days but we conquered Disney in a way we never expected with a 4 and 7 year old! We are already planning another trip to Disney!
Things we will definitely do next time:
- Stay on Disney property again (the advantages between the extra park hours and bus transportation are well worth any additional cost)
- Purchase the Dining Plan again (we definitely got our money's worth and it was nice not having to pay for each meal individually)
- Go to Magic Kingdom on a Thursday. The last 2 times we have gone to Disney, we have gone to Magic Kingdom on a Thursday and have not had large crowds.
- We will condense Animal Kingdom to half a day.
- We will spend more time (another half day to a full day) at Magic Kingdom
- We will order "surprises" for the boys again from Disney.com ahead of time and give them a little something each day. It saved money on souvenirs and was fun to give them something each day. This year I ordered autograph books, clothes and pjs for each of the boys.
We can't wait to go again!
