We slept in today. Finished packing and headed to Spoodles for breakfast. There was no wait. I love this breakfast. We had a nice leisurely breakfast. After we headed to the room. Grabbed the bags and checked out. Now there were no valet charges and no phone charges. DH called work a lot on his calling card so I was pleasantly surprised.
We hopped in the car and headed to Epcot. I promised a fried I would pickup a couple Passports for her kids. That done we headed to the Marketplace. We needed to buy a new suitcase. Ours had been damaged and was even more so with this trip. I told hubby the last thing I need is my unmentionables all over the tarmac! So we bought a nice Mickey suitcase and I bought a WDW tote and a very nice fleece shirt for Anthony.
After this we headed to Cirque du Soleil. We’re coming back in April with DH’s parents (they’ve never been!). So I thought what do you buy people who have everything for Christmas….Tickets to La Nouba! We’ve never been so I thought this might be nice and I can cross one present off my list! J
The errands now being done we head to MGM. The Sorcerer’s Hat is just about done. We started by heading to Rock N Rollercoaster. We had told Anthony he may not make the height requirement so not to be upset. He was great. He missed it by about 1/4 – 1/2 inch. But we told him we won’t go on until he can. We also told him we will be stretching him on a daily basis so we can go on it in April! LOL We then went to do the Great Movie Ride that had a 45 min wait. But while DH and DS are waiting I ran over to Millionaire and got FastPass. The line moved pretty quickly. We had the cowboy. This is Anthony’s favorite ride. From here we head over to Millionaire. Well, one game and I was addicted! They, my family, wouldn’t let me go back! We decided to eat lunch in the Commissary. I’ve never eaten there and was quite pleased. After lunch we kind of did whatever we came upon. We did the backstage tour, Honey I Shrunk the Kids Playground, Drew Carey (this was great we had never done this!), I can’t remember what else. Finally around 5:45 we head to Sci Fi for dinner. This is a must for us on each trip. I know a lot of people aren’t thrilled since they got away from the drive-in fare but we like it. DH and I split the ribs, very good and Anthony had his obligatory hot dog. We were in there for probably a little more than an hour.
We were now tired time to head to the Airport Marriott. I had a certificate for a free nite with breakfast so we booked this. The hotel is very nice. They have a free shuttle airport so I decided since they had that let’s turn in the car early. So I headed to the Airport and did just that. I then met the boys in the room. We had a good size room with very nice amenities. We tried to rent Shrek but they credited us, there was something wrong with the tape. I transferred stuff from the old suitcase to the new. Finally time to turn in…
