Disney Day 4 - Back to Magic Kingdom

We had dinner reservation in Magic Kingdom for Sunday evening, so we decided to have a mellow morning at the pool before heading over there for lunch and the afternoon. Ryan and I got up and out for a run but let's face it, running loops around the parking lots isn't much fun and Ryan was feeling rather miserable, so we called it after 3 miles. No use prolonging the torture, and honestly, a few extra miles isn't going to matter much in the big scheme of things. (3.1 miles)

It was nice to not have to rush out in the morning, and after breakfast, we wandered down for some pool time before making our way over by foot from the hotel to the park for lunch. It was hot and crowded - surprise surprise 😂😂 - but we explored Tomorrowland, a section of the park we didn't hit on Thursday and did the Speedway and rode on the Peoplemover before heading back to the Haunted Mansion and then for a ride on the Jungle Cruise. We also hit a few other things as well, including going back to Pirates of the Caribbean and walking through the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse before dinner. Sam, Ryan and I split off from the group after dinner to do one final ride on It's A Small World, get one last ridiculously priced Disney ice cream and take in the castle view one last time.

Strava read 8.0 miles by the time we got back to the hotel at 8:00 pm, but I'd guess we probably only walked about 5 of those miles, as the Peoplemover alone was probably at least a 1 mile ride. All told, a good final day at Disney, and although this vacation isn't one I'd have picked for us myself, we really did have a magical time! Many thanks to Irene and Dana for a wonderful trip! We enjoyed it, heat, crowds, chaos and magic included 😍😘
