Trip log:
The last morning is always a bit depressing. Packed up and while waiting for the rest of the group to do the same I went for a walk. Strolled out to the water and then hopped on a Friendship launch to the Swan/Dolphin. Went into the Swan and took a look at the chocolate display then walked across to the Dolphin and saw their tree, train and sugar showpiece. Then I walked passed the Yacht Club and back to the Beach Club to my room one last time. Grabbed all the bags and went to the airline check in for the suitcases then bell services for the carry-ons. Then headed for the bus stops and the Animal Kingdom. Made my way out to the Safari for one last trip. Once back walked out to Pangani, but no sight of the babies yet, still too cold out. Went for lunch at Pizzafari then made my way to the bus stop and over to Epcot. Boarded a Monorail to the Transportation and Ticket Center then Ferry boat to the Magic Kingdom. Took the WDW Railroad to Fantasyland then walked to Tomorrowland and went for a trip on the People Mover. Once back made my way to Main Street then back to the bus stops. Returned to the Yacht Club, picked up my carry-ons and waited for the Magical Express bus. Then off to the airport and home to wrap up this trip.

Always an impressive and fun view to approach the Magic Kingdom by Ferry..  I highly recommend this to first time visitors. Unfortunately with the Disney buses dropping you off at the park now most do not experience this.
