Trip log:

Started off my last morning packing up to head home. Checked the suitcases in at the resort then dropped the carryons with bell services before venturing out for the morning. First stop today Animal Kingdom. We had a 10:30 FastPass+ time and arrived at the park just after that and hiked out to Africa for a ride. Once back strolled through the Market and around by Asia. Ended up in Dino land to grab a bite to eat then circled by Everest for a last look at the construction. Made my way to the front of the park and out to the buses. Took one over to the Magic Kingdom. Wandered up Main Street USA and into Liberty Square. Boarded the Liberty Belle and went for a cruise. Then walked through Fantasyland and past the Castle to Tomorrowland with the goal to visit the PeopleMover but it was not moving.. guests were onboard but no movement. Since I only had about 20 minutes made my way back to Main Street and did a couple Sorcerers stops then picked up some cards on the way out to the bus. Returned to the Beach Club, picked up my carryons, changed, and waited about 45 min for my Magical Express bus. Boarded and headed for the airport and then plane back home to Los Angeles to wrap up this trip.

The plan was to go for one last tour of Tomorrowland on the PeopleMover but it was down with guests on board so we kept walking.
