With the special day early 4th of July fireworks coming up soon, Rob and the boys booked it across the park to ride Tron. \240They were on in about 30 minutes and were still disappointed with it the second time around. \240But it went up to 115 minutes when fireworks finished so it was worth it!

Sarah stayed back with the bags and enjoyed the fireworks show

The finale of the show!

We then met up again to ride a family favorite, The People Mover. \240It was a much needed chance to rest our weary legs.

Finally, we used our last fast pass on Peter Pan to end the night at about 10:45. \240

The castle was closed off and our bodies were in no mood to skip, but we mustered enough energy to make it back to the buses. \240We exited the park at exactly 11:00 so we made it from opening to close!

Video of us leaving the park and the exit interview by the buses:

Leaving the park at closing!

We got back in the room, took quick showers, and crawled into bed 😊
