And so, as the dreaful hour draws near, we find ourselves exchanging our good-byes. We find ourselves reliving the dream, for one last time. We see the darkest hours as the greatest moments of a family reuniting. With nearly three years of it all, our fun has come to a pause. The end is not over, because the memories will live on. Our dreams will live on. VMK was, and always will be, apart of each and every one of us, and that's something that will keep us all together, forever. It's that bond we shared, whether friend or acquaintance, that will let VMK live on forever. The fun has ended, but the experience is still there. Each night you will dream of the pink castle we have all come to know and love, just as you did when you graduated from school. You will see this as another accomplishment, just like that award you got back in the third grade. It's another chapter closing, as another one opens. It's life. VMK is our life. And like most great things in life, it's time to move on. It's time to say our farewells. We shall never say good-bye, because only those who never see each other again say that. Our "see you later" will hold back the tears, it keep alive the magic for the rest of our lives.

At one point or another during my VMK experience, I have met all of you. Whether it's by being friends, host rooms, quests, or perhaps even a random hello, we have all crossed paths at one point. And with that said, I'd like to say thank you. Thank you all for everything. For the laughs, for the cries. For the dreams, and for the lies. And despite the fact that disney has disappointed us in many ways, let's thank them too. Without them, without Walt many years ago, VMK would have never existed. And lastly, let's thank yavn and all of the VMK team for their hard work. Thank you all for the memories.

I'd like to leave you all with a poem by Robert Frost:
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
