Disney World Day 8 - The Journey Home

We were all exhausted, and I managed to catch Tannah's cold from earlier in the week, so we all slept  in a little before packing up to go home. We checked in for our flight at our resort and then went back to the community hall so the girls could do more "crafts". Tannah missed her projects that she usually does this week. Tannah colored a Tiana mask and Harper colored a Minnie mask, and we played some air hockey.

We went back to Downtown Disney to pick out souvenirs and have lunch. Tannah chose a doll that was half Anna and half Elsa depending on which way the skirt is pulled down. Harper picked out Chip and Dale (although she really just wanted Dale). I got silhouettes of the girls, and I'm absolutely in love with them.

I had promised the girls swimming that day, so we went back to the resort for a quick swim. Harper fell asleep, so she only joined us for the last 10 minutes or so. The girls were so happy in the pool.

As we were waiting for the Magical Express to take us back to the airport, a man working at the hotel gave each of the girls a Disney pin and told them to come back and see him soon.

On the bus to the airport I received a text from my friend telling me that she thought she saw that our flight had been canceled on a screen at the airport. Turns out she was right, so we ended up having to fly standby home and connect through Atlanta. The girls sat together, but not in the same group of seats as either me or Wei-Yand. They asked the lady they sat next to about a million questions. We got on the flight from Atlanta to Chicago and made it there not too long after our originally scheduled flight. Luckily our luggage was already there, so we could go home right away. The snow had already started, so it wasn't a great ride home, but we made it by 1:30 am. It was a long day, but it was such a fantastic trip that I can't complain too much!
