I had left MK and headed towards Epcot. When I arrived, I headed straight to the single rider line of TT and pretty much sprinted through that line. Honestly, I can't imagine ever waiting in line at TT again after seeing this single rider line. Even with other people in your party, it's a great way to ride. I know my mom and I will be doing this when we come back in the fall.
I passed up SE (why? WHY!? I only rode ONCE this trip!) and took a stroll through Mouse Gears. Then I started wandering.
I'm not exactly sure where I was heading, to be honest. I went back and forth in WS and then headed BACK to TT. I was cold and wet and just trying to kill time getting in as many rides as possible.
But after this ride, I knew my time was up. It was after 3 p.m. now, and I had to be back at BWV for my bus at 3:45. It was time to walk back over.
I just kept taking pictures, knowing I wasn't going to be back for awhile!
I had time, so I decided to take the boat.
After boarding the boat, I thought that maybe this wasn't the best idea. It was already 3:30 and I only had 15 minutes, but now I was committed. And I KNEW the bus wouldn't be on time, so I chanced it.
I got to BWV and collected my carry on from bell services. Then I headed to the bathroom and went outside to wait.
Then something happened that I have never personally seen happen at a WDW resort.
A group of us are gathered and wondering when the heck the bus will get there (it's already after 4) when another vehicle pulls up to the ME stop....
A fire truck!! A BIG one!
Shortly after, an ambulance pulls up as well.
Then, an ME bus shows up. People get off, but come to find out that the bus is only dropping off, not picking up. And the entire time, there's a group of about 10 of us breathing in the fumes of the fire truck (which is still running, of course).
Another ME bus comes. Nope, not picking up.
Finally, now that all of us waiting are good friends, our bus comes. In that time, the ambulance drives off with someone in tow (I hope they were ok
) and after one of our group berates the bus driver (what was the point in that??) we all climb on the bus.
The world's most gorgeous and adorable little boy and I had made friends at the bus stop. He was visiting with his mom and dad and little brother. The boy was almost 3, and his little brother was almost 1. The little boy climbed right up in the seat next to me on the bus, and his parents went to collect him but he REALLY wanted to sit by me. I told the parents it was fine (they were afraid he'd bother me, but I have 8 nieces and nephews and love kids), and proceeded to have a great conversation with this little cutie for the entire ride. He really kept me calm on the bus, and he and I and his parents talked the whole way to my stop at American.
When I got in the airport, I took this picture:
If you're a video game fanatic like me and haven't seen King of Kong, check it out! Usually you can get it on streaming services; you might even be able to check it out on youtube. It's the goods.
My flight went smoothly, except that the people behind me smelled REALLY badly. I mean, very bad. I don't think it was their fault; but they smelled like seafood to the point that if you had a shellfish allergy you probably couldn't have been on our plane. I'd imagine they went for one last seafood feast before hitting the plane and just didn't realize how they smelled. It's the first time I've come across that on a plane.
When I arrived in Chicago, I grabbed a cab and headed home with all my goodies. The goodies and my wrap up will be in my final post, coming soon!
My mom would have ordered me the plainest thing on the menu and told me to eat it or get over it.
O.k. just looked back and realized that I repeated what Jenn said just a page earlier. lol.....you really should try BOG at lunch though. 
That is freaky about the Soarin seatbelt! I have definitely not seen one like that before. I mean, wow, what would even be the use of a seatbelt like that?
