8:05:26 AM: Been scrambling to pack and get ready to head to the airport. Leaving day is always depressing.

8:42:07 AM: http://pic.gd/249128 Magic Kingdom doesn’t open until 9am, so it’s been interesting watching it and the lake come to life.

9:31:27 AM: Heading down to the lobby to wait for our bus. Disney drops us off at the airport way early. Probably will get there at 10:40. Flight @ 1:30

9:47:10 AM: http://pic.gd/358f5d Bus should be here any minute. So long Contemporary Resort.

10:04:20 AM: Wow!! RT @wdwnt: Disney to Acquire Marvel Entertainment http://bit.ly/OIdDr

10:10:59 AM: I’m going to predict Disney’s buyout will lead to Marvel characters at Hollywood Studios and a ride. Or we may even see a full Marvel park.

10:31:16 AM: On the bus to the airport. Just exited the big, main Walt Disney World Resort gate at the very bottom of the property. Farewell Disney.

10:59:12 AM: At the Airport. Flight doesn’t leave until 1:30pm. So early. Ha.

11:49:06 AM: Disney World had full 3G bars, but the Orlando International Airport only has Edge? Lame.

12:16:01 PM: Just finished lunch at Burger King in the airport. Forgot their fries taste a little different. We board in 30 minutes.

1:13:08 PM: http://pic.gd/838092 On the plane in Orlando and ready to go. Plane starts moving in ten minutes.

1:20:48 PM: Well looks like the plane is locked down. Going to watch The Great Buck Howard. Can’t wait. See you in Canada. Back to allergies.

3:55:48 PM: Landed half an hour early. Hello Toronto! They changed the movies on the flight early too, so I couldn’t watch Buck Howard. So sad.

4:10:10 PM: http://pic.gd/90d94d Back in Canada, eh?

5:30:25 PM: Wow. Just spent 45 minutes in customs and another 45 waiting for luggage cause there was a delay. Never seen it this busy before.

5:38:12 PM: On the shuttle bus to go get our car and drive home. Finally.

6:26:12 PM: Let me tell you.. If you haven’t driven in Toronto traffic, then you don’t know traffic. Crazy people.

6:47:37 PM: Back home now. Thanks for following the adventures everyone. Was fun.

9:01:11 AM: Good morning. Last full day in The World. Home tomorrow. So sad. Time flies. You even lose track of what day of the week it is. Ha.

10:13:13 AM: Always surprised how my allergies go away here and in Southern California. They were really bothering me when I left. Went away instantly.

10:49:58 AM: Heading on the monorail to the TTC then off to Hollywood Studios for a few hours. Just to hit a couple things we missed.

11:14:40 AM: Approaching Hollywood Studios. Not sure what the game plan is yet. Probably see if there are fast passes available still for Toy Story.

11:35:15 AM: Fast passes for Toy Story were way too late. Going to skip it today. Going to see the Little Mermaid stage show thing.

2:34:07 PM: http://pic.gd/ee05df Rock N Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith. Such a fun ride.

3:11:33 PM: Leaving Hollywood Studios for the last time this trip. So sad.

3:47:52 PM: Hanging out at the hotel for an hour until we eat. Last big meal here. Downstairs at Chef Mickey’s, which is handy.

6:33:58 PM: Finished eating. Now going to walk over to the Magic Kingdom for our final night here. Open late tonight. Nice being in walking distance.

7:31:37 PM: Got a Fast Pass for Splash Mountain after riding the railroad. Going on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad now.

8:45:44 PM: Just went on Splash Mountain twice in a row since lines were so short. Off to the next ride.

9:42:04 PM: Loving the short wait lines at Magic Kingdom. Hooray for extra magic hours.

9:48:07 PM: http://pic.gd/b30c4b Inside a Christmas store in the Magic Kingdom. 117 days until Christmas. Ha

9:51:07 PM: http://pic.gd/a6ea66 Cinderella’s Castle looks beautiful all lit up. Very cool.

12:06:06 AM: http://pic.gd/a4fae0 Leaving Magic Kingdom for the last time this trip. Again, so sad.

12:32:13 AM: At the hotel getting ready to go to bed. Going to get up earlier to do a fast pack before leaving for the airport around 10am.

1:08:06 AM: Hooray for sleep. Goodnight all.

8:37:30 AM: Good morning. We are leaving to Hollywood Studios earlier this morning. Hoping to leave around 9am instead of the 10am we’ve been doing.

9:26:15 AM: Leaving to Hollywood Studios now. A little later than originally planned.

10:10:07 AM: http://pic.gd/52f6b3 At Hollywood Studios now. Heading to Toy Story Mania for a fast pass.

11:38:07 AM: http://pic.gd/6b2ae4 Eating at the Sci-fi Diner for lunch. So cool. It’s themed like a 50s drive-in theater.

11:50:05 AM: Wish I could watch some of Ted Kennedy funeral coverage. Will have to catch up on highlights when I get home next week.

1:10:07 PM: http://pic.gd/99c7b2 The Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios.

2:54:04 PM: Went on Tower of Terror and then Aerosmith roller coaster. So fun. Now time for Toy Story Mania. Woo hoo!!

5:10:07 PM: http://pic.gd/b2279c Forgot to send this pic from Toy Story Mania earlier.

5:11:28 PM: Just got out of Lights, Motors, Action Extreme Stunt Show. Lots of crazy car stunts. Was good.

6:20:07 PM: http://pic.gd/cc6183 Just got out of Star Tours. Going to hit Tower of Terror one more time before we go.

7:14:20 PM: Rachel and I literally made the last car in Aerosmith’s Rock N Roller Coaster. So fun.

7:28:07 PM: Heading back to the hotel. We made the first bus and we are the first stop. Couldn’t be more perfect!

7:47:24 PM: Back at the hotel. Good time.

8:45:07 PM: http://pic.gd/3ae0b8 Eating dinner downstairs in the hotel’s food court tonight. Handy.

9:05:11 PM: Okay. So who has installed and used Snow Leopard already? How did the process go and how is it running? Any early bugs?

10:03:57 PM: CNN keeps running HBO’s documentary called Teddy: In His Own Words. Really well done in my opinion. Good watch.

12:24:19 AM: Went swimming in the pool and hung around the hotel. Heading to bed now. Goodnight.

9:30:23 AM: Happy Snow Leopard day everyone! Have to wait till Tues to buy. We’re heading out in the next half an hour for EPCOT. I love me some EPCOT.

10:33:12 AM: http://pic.gd/9a0f85 Inside the monorail and on the way to EPCOT. Love how there is full bars on AT&T pretty much everywhere here.

10:45:24 AM: Arrived at EPCOT. Guess I should have mentioned that it’s my sister’s birthday today too. Haha.

11:45:07 AM: http://pic.gd/be8889 Beginning our trek around the world at World Showcase. Up first: Mexico.

12:52:07 PM: http://pic.gd/abef85 The view from the other side of the World Showcase looking back at Future World.

1:04:07 PM: http://pic.gd/947e58 Stopped for food at the American Adventure. Just an FYI, this is what the napkins look like all over Disney

3:44:00 PM: Haven’t updated much cause plans have been up in the air. Hit a couple rides in Future World and now finishing up World Showcase.

4:17:07 PM: http://pic.gd/6859 Shopping in Japan. One of my favorite pavillions. Would love to actually visit one day.

5:35:08 PM: American Adventure show was awesome. Now sitting waiting for a Beatles tribute band to start at 6pm.

10:31:07 PM: http://pic.gd/f28cc2 Leaving EPCOT. Perhaps for the last time this trip. Back to the hotel.

11:42:17 PM: Heading outside to see if we will be able to see any of the shuttle launch in ten or twenty minutes.

12:07:10 AM: Just saw the shuttle launch. That was so cool. Got it on my video camera.

12:17:06 AM: Well, time for bed. So tired. Goodnight all.

8:24:13 AM: Good morning. Everyone has been slowly getting ready for the past little bit already. Today is Animal Kingdom and Downtown Disney day.

9:09:07 AM: http://pic.gd/0a9a07 Don’t know if you can tell, but the flags are at half mast in front of our hotel for Ted Kennedy.

9:36:32 AM: The one thing I wish I was in Canada for: the release of Snow Leopard tomorrow. Been so excited for it since it was announced months ago.

10:26:44 AM: Just had breakfast at the hotel. Now heading out to Animal Kingdom. Probably will take the bus there.

11:21:07 AM: http://pic.gd/3ed480 At Animal Kingdom. Just arrived. Took the monorail to the TTC then the bus.

11:53:07 AM: http://pic.gd/744e47 Getting ready to go on Primeval Whirl in Animal Kingdom. Not a very popular rice but fun.

12:48:08 PM: http://pic.gd/20095e Heading on the Kilimanjaro Safari. Didn’t go on it the past two years. Guess we will see how it is.

2:08:09 PM: Leaving Animal Kingdom. Not a very big park. Off to Downtown Disney to shop. Woo hoo!

2:19:50 PM: Just got word that the full six-volume set of Looney Tunes arrived back home safe and sound. Can’t wait to watch them!

3:05:09 PM: Finally on the bus that will actually take us to Downtown Disney. Had to take a couple transfers to get there. Ha.

5:46:08 PM: http://pic.gd/0d00e3 At Wolfgang Puck’s Cafe in Downtown Disney. Been doing lots of shopping. Love this area. Ha. (that’s the menu, btw)

7:06:06 PM: http://pic.gd/a0b778 There is a huge Princess Diana exhibit where the Virgin store was. Pay for admission.

7:30:07 PM: http://pic.gd/fb7e7b Just went in and checked out House of Blues Orlando and the store. So cool.

8:30:59 PM: One thing I love about the bar/club/lounge scene is finding indie talent from the music acts. Just found a great talent at HoB bar. Yay A&R.

8:45:07 PM: http://pic.gd/b948f1 Loving the night life of Downtown Disney. Music blasting, stores open, neon lights, etc.

9:10:07 PM: http://pic.gd/f0a177 Dance party in the heart of Pleasure Island! Woo hoo!

10:19:13 PM: Waiting for the bus to go back to the hotel. Been waiting for ten or fifteen minutes already. Just pulling up now.

10:20:55 PM: Should note my wallet is considerably lighter after Downtown Disney. Ha.

11:44:05 PM: Getting ready for bed. Back to EPCOT tomorrow for my sister’s actual birthday. Love traveling the globe in the World Showcase area. Night.

9:27:42 AM: Up and at ‘em. Just checked the status on my big Looney Tunes delivery. Should be coming at home tomorrow or maybe even today. Woo hoo!

11:12:31 PM: Well… Time to start getting ready for bed. Goodnight all.

9:09:07 AM: http://pic.gd/96e2af Good morning from The World! Blue skies all around.

9:16:32 AM: Looks like there were quite a few double or triple entries in my blog archive yesterday. Sorry. Hopefully we don’t have that problem today.

10:26:11 AM: http://pic.gd/7c97b4 Entering the Magic Kingdom. So hot out today. Ha

1:26:07 PM: http://pic.gd/a3af61 Going to go see an animatronic Barack Obama in the recently redone Hall of Presidents.

2:04:07 PM: http://pic.gd/f32532 Just finished The Hall of Presidents. Was done really well. Thought the new focus was better than the last one.

2:28:08 PM: http://pic.gd/a2079e Just got out from seeing some ghosts in The Haunted Mansion. Now off to Fantasyland.

2:41:59 PM: Heading inside Mickey’s PhilharMagic. Some classic Disney characters fun. One of my favorite things to do in the Magic Kingdom actually.

2:46:13 PM: http://pic.gd/4d1880 Waiting for PhilharMagic to begin. 3D cartoon, smells, water and wind makes for one realistic cartoon!

3:22:07 PM: http://pic.gd/d4536d Boarding Snow White’s Scary Adventures. Only a couple more rides left in Fantasyland, which is more classic Disney.

5:30:07 PM: http://pic.gd/c35865 Currently riding a Disney World and Disneyland staple ride: It’s a Small World

6:41:59 PM: Eating at Tony’s Town Square on Main Street USA. Very Lady and the Tramp inspired.

8:42:20 PM: Back at the hotel room. Been raining for a little while. Going to hang around the room, maybe browse shops again and swim if rain stops.

9:20:12 PM: http://pic.gd/dab834 Seeing awesome fireworks from our room every night is great. Pictures definitely don’t do it justice.

11:14:11 PM: Well, starting to wind down. Everyone is tired. Goodnight all.

5:28:16 AM: 5:30am. I’m up… And tired…

6:17:18 AM: Getting ready to head out the door. My nose is being a pain this morning. Big time. Hopefully it gets better soon. Ugh.

7:00:54 AM: Hit traffic. Took a detour. Should make it but it’ll be close.

7:39:41 AM: At the park and fly at the airport waiting to be picked up. Definitely a little cool outside. Sun is shining now though.

9:00:56 AM: Woo hoo! RT @boygeniusreport: Snow Leopard info goes live on Apple site; pre-orders today, shipping Friday http://bit.ly/15qCbS

9:04:42 AM: Always kind of funny flying with the family. Something always happens. Dad walked through the metal detector without being asked. Haha

9:44:15 AM: Looks like TweetPhoto isn’t working. Ugh. Maybe I’ll switch then for the trip.

9:52:34 AM: @tweetphoto is the API down again? Doesn’t want to load pictures…

9:58:40 AM: Looks like twitpic isn’t loading either. Great. Let’s try Yfrog next. Sorry if you end up getting a few of the same pics later.

10:01:12 AM: On the plane waiting for takeoff. http://yfrog.com/5rhuwj

10:16:56 PM: Just watched Magic Kingdom’s nightly massive fireworks show from our room’s balcony. Too cool.

11:04:46 PM: Did a walk around the hotel. Outside by the pools, explored the levels… Now it’s time for bed. Woo hoo! Tired.
