(As a side note, I currently have 353 photos of Wishes and 296 of IllumiNations. I think maybe it's time to stop taking fireworks pictures?)
After that ended, we made our way over to Big Thunder Mountain. I don't think Alyssa and Kim made it on at all last year, since it was closed during our whole program. Kim and I sat in the front row and it feels much more "runaway" up there! I adore that ride, particularly at night. I actually can't remember the last time I rode it during the day!
Alyssa is in yellow two rows behind me.
When we got off the ride, we decided to call it a night. We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. It was great to see them again! I stopped to get a Dole Whip on the way out. At the bus stop, the line was HUGE and there was one bus for Pop. Within 25 minutes, 4 more came, 2 at a time. So it took me 5 buses to get back to my room, but I thought the length of time was acceptable. And that was really the longest bus wait of the whole trip.
PB came over again (he had been saying goodbye to some of his current CP friends who were leaving the next day) to drop off the stuff we had bought the day before and I had left in his car. We decided we'd try to meet up again the next day before I left t say goodbye.
It was actually pretty funny at MK, because it was the night before the first batch of CP departures. I myself had been there with Alyssa, PB, and another friend exactly one year before, when I was leaving! So seeing all the CPs in their graduation mouse ears, crying and hugging, brought back some touching memories for all of us.
And before I went to bed after midnight, I took a photo of the wicked sunburn I'd managed to obtain that day.
Ouch!
