Day six

*this post will have less pictures as the hard drive in my laptop (that I got for Christmas) decided that today was a good day to stop working, thankfully I'm married to at IT guy who is going to work on it for me but in the meantime my pics are mostly on that computer*

Day six was our last day at Disney. It is always hard to leave, but given that we had been waking up early, going to bed late and walking a TON each day we were all tired.
We got up and packed up our things. We checked our bags at the hotel (they have airline check in right there!) and they held our carry on bags for us. We then got breakfast at the food court.
We then got on a bus and headed over the Downtown Disney. It took a little longer then normal to get there with all of the construction. Once we got there we headed to the Lego store. Then we headed into the Co-Op and then the big Disney store. Oh Mickey shopping, my favorite!
Then we headed over to the toy store. Grandpa bought Jillian Potato Head parts. He said that grandma had it in her calendar to meet us at Disney that day and take Jilli to the toy store. Brent and I both had a hard time not crying.
We then headed to Wolf Gang Puck Express for lunch and had a yummy meal (this is included in the meal plan!) We stopped at Goofy's Kitchen and picked up some snacks (I love Mickey Rice Krispy Treats!) and then headed back to the hotel. I wish we had more time to spend at Downtown Disney but we needed to get back to get on Magical Express.
We got back and my mom and dad went and got our carry on stuff that the hotel was holding for us and Brent and I talked with grandpa about arrangements for grandma's service on October 3rd (it will be in Kenosha). We then said our goodbyes to grandpa and he headed home. Brent and I had held ourselves together up until that point that grandma had not been with us that day (there were a few times that were hard but we had kept ourselves from loosing it) but after grandpa left we both lost it. I am sure we were quite the sight walking through the lobby trying not to cry but tears rolling down our faces. We pulled ourselves together and went and picked up the pin for our hotel (I collect Disney pins and I pick up one at each Disney hotel I stay at) and then Jilli traded a Disney pin that someone had very kindly given to her earlier in the week (we met a couple in line that said they pick up extra pins before their trip and give them to kids to share the Disney magic. It was SO sweet) Jilli loved trading her pin :)
We then got on the Magical Express heading back to the airport. Once at the airport we went back through TSA which again was a relatively easy process (we had less meds and formula going through on the way back) and they were very helpful (Jilli once again hated that we had to take our shoes off) and then we headed down to the terminal. We had a little bit of time at the airport before we loaded and this gave us time to charge Jillian's oxygen more.
On this plane ride Jillian fell asleep at take off and woke up at landing. We had a layover in St. Louis. In St. Louis we were able to get some food before needing to board again. They gave me a harder time about flying with the oxygen but eventually let us on. On this flight Jilli played on the iPad most of the time. We then arrive in Milwaukee and back to the car. We spent the night at my parents since we did not get back until after 9pm and the next day Brent and mom needed to go to work.

So, that was our Disney trip. It was AMAZING and so special. It was what we needed after these past few years and was so good to have some relaxing family time in a magical place. I can't wait to go back again, although it will probably be a couple years before we can pull it off again (hopefully they still have free dinning again, without that and the current room prices there is NO way we could have gone). It was a week for smiles and joy! 
We looked kinda lick pack mules in the air port

Sleeping on the first plane
This is now everything fit under the seat. I had to hold it with my foot to keep it from sliding backwards during take off
Notice the clothes change from the first flight... while she did sleep during the first flight, she also pooped at some point during the flight and we did not realize it until we landed... and there was poop coming down her leg!
She rested for like the last 5min of the second flight. The pillow really did not help with her head positioning.
