My 40th Birthday Extravaganza August 13th-20th, 2019: Day 8

Tuesday August 20th:
6am alarm. Packed everything up. Had luggage dropped off by 7:45am. Breakfast of waffles with bacon and sausage. Ryan had a bagel sandwich. Tragical Express at 9:05am. Security was only 15-20 minutes. At 11am we shared a plate at the Chinese Fast Food place. Flight to Houston left on time but they ended up changing our route to avoid a storm so we landed 20 min late. Our layover was originally an hour so that dropped it to 40 min. But then that next flight was delated by 10 min. So we had time for a quick potty stop and grabbed some packaged donuts to take as a snack. We landed about 15 min late in El Paso. We grabbed our luggage and had an hour drive home. Stopped at groceries and dinner to take home. It was great to be home and see our Winnie girl!

Final Thoughts:
Going to WDW for my 40th birthday and to be there on my actual birthday was amazing! It really doesn’t get much better than that! So many birthday wishes from guests and CM’s and several little sprinkles of birthday magic. This was one of our hottest trips yet with high heat indexes. But we made the best of it and just took extra AC breaks and drank lots of ice tea!!! We were blown away by Galaxy’s Edge and look forward to seeing it again in November! It was strange to attend a Halloween Party in mid-August and I definitely recommend people avoid going to the very first party of the season because the crowds are huge. All of the bloggers and influencers are there trying to get the first pictures of everything to post about. It felt busier than the parks felt during the day. So it was less magical than previous parties, but we still had lots of fun.
