We wanted to try and get in one last showing of Monsters Laugh Floor, but that show stopped at 10pm, and we were all the way on the other side of the Hub, so needed to get over there, catch a show, then get out in time for OUAT. Thankfully, there was a woman who just knew how to zip through crowds, and she was being followed closely by her boyfriend. I realized they were heading to Tomorrowland too, so I decided to just continue following him, with Lauren behind me (other people probably thought we were all a group). This lady knew how to move! And we were making great time, until someone accidentally cut me off and I lost the pace and she got too far ahead. Lauren and I made it to Monsters, but just missed a show, which meant the next show wouldn’t let out until after OUAT. We ended up splitting up, with Lauren doing Monsters (which she said was hilarious, though she wasn’t on video), and I went to the plaza garden (which was no longer reserved) to watch the projections.
I really loved that projection show. Very well done and good use of technology! I also had a great view! Lauren actually caught the last few minutes of it after Monsters
We then decided to use our multi-experience FP (left over from BTMR) to ride Space Mountain again (unfortunately split into different rockets, which really annoys me that they do; like if you are a group of 2, put them in the back 2 seats of a rocket, or the front 2 seats!).
After that ride, Lauren and I both vowed to never ride again! It really felt like the rocket was going to fly off the tracks. I was honestly thinking, well I hope one of my PP photos turned out well because that is what they will use on the news story! I think it needs a refurb badly to replace the track with something smoother (for Disneyland they actually closed Space for 2 years before the 50th anniversary).

For our final ride of the night, and our final ride at Magic Kingdom, we decided on the Peoplemover. Really liked that relaxing moment at the end of the night!
And another stop at a PP!
On our way out, we grabbed some photos of the pumpkin scarecrows, which I thought were pretty cool!

Lauren also took a photo of me in front of the fire station
And for some reason, they played the Kiss Goodnight at 10:45, even though the park didn’t actually close until 11. I thought that was weird! I thought it only played after park close!
On our way to the bus we saw the very crowded boats to the TTC. Everytime we saw those, it felt like the scene from War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise) where they try to evacuate!
We got back to the resort and tried to pack a little bit before falling into bed! We still had another 1.5 days of Disney magic!
