How about Mickey's "see you real soon!" With a collage of small photos? | |

I also used the goodbye song from the mouseketeers. "Now it's time to say goodbye to all our company. Mic- see you real soon. Key- why because we like you. Mouse.". I put that song on my layout with a picture of the characters waving goodbye that I received on my trip. I love it and could never come up with a better idea than that. | |

Or how about some lists to sum up the trip:
5 favorite rides
5 best treats we ate/drank
5 best memories
5 things we won't do next time
etc. | |

I was thinking I would use
"and they lived happily ever after.."
with a photo of the whole family in front of Cinderella's castle.
Because, really - isn't your life complete once you visit Disney?!

I like to sum up the entire vacation, kind of like in a letter, and use that as my last page. Sometimes there is a photo, sometimes not. But I know that there are feelings or stories or thank you's, stuff like that that doesn't always get up into the album pages. I like to have that at the end. It affords me much more journal space about whatever I want to say since I don't have pictures that go with the particular story I am telling.
Or I will explain which park/ship and what date to expect the next Disney Trip! | |

Do you have a picture of the back of everybody in your family.... maybe as they were walking away from you somewhere? Then you could do "See you real soon" or "See you next time" or something similar- lots of good ideas in this thread. | |

I've used the See Ya Real Soon, and that's cute. On our last trip where we went to all 4 parks, I took one nice family picture from each park in front of its major icon (castle, Epcot ball, hat, tree) and put those on the last page. | |

That's a great idea, Rhonda. So many great ideas here.
My idea is from the perspective of a numbers/statistics nerd.
2 days in the car
3 days in the park
5 characters met
+ 4 roller coasters
= 1 awesome trip
(done much more artistically) 
I did a page with stats for a road trip we took:

Or how about some lists to sum up the trip:
5 favorite rides
5 best treats we ate/drank
5 best memories
5 things we won't do next time
I usually end our family vacations with a top ten list. We each hand-write a few of our top moments. I love seeing my kids' handwriting change as they get older and I am a firm believer in journaling in my own handwriting.
It's fun to look back at what moments of the trip the kids found tops in their minds.
HTH,

I took a wide shot picture of the pretty blue sky and my sons walking to our car before headed back to frigid Ohio. So, I ended my album with "good bye blue sky, we'll miss you." | |

On the last two pages of my then 18 month old son's album, I did a collage of pictures that didn't "fit" anywhere in his album and then I did a "highlights" page of all the things that made the trip special for him.

and a collage of random pics that didn't make it into the album anywhere else.
I use this all the time! I save all the photos that didn't make it in the album and use a 3x3 inch punch and use those random photos and usually end up filling the last page. I might insert some 3x3 inch punched squares of paper if I don't have enough to fill the entire page. | |

On our last day visiting DisneyWorld, we had the park photographer take a "sad face" photo in front of the castle. The whole family is frowning and looking forlorn. Made a perfect last page for the album. Staged and hokey? Absolutely, but why not? | |
