It was our final day on the Dream and we were sad to go. The night before, we'd left our bags in the hall as instructed and we only kept our PJs and clothes for the next day. We were to be at breakfast at 6:45 am in the Enchanted Garden and we were there right on schedule! The night before we found envelopes in the room for tips for our servers and stateroom host. We'd prepaid our gratuities through our
travel agent prior to the cruise so we were given tickets to put in the envelopes rather than cash. I assembled the envelopes and I left the envelope for the stateroom host in the room because we did not see him before we left, and I brought the envelopes for the servers to breakfast. It was nice to see one last time! Here is Imade - such a sweet man. He taught the girls to fold napkins into all sorts of cute shapes.
After breakfast we proceeded to disembark because we wanted to make the first bus to Disney World! The day before we were also given luggage tags for the bags that we were leaving in the hall - ours was an orange Goofy. So when we got to the terminal, we looked for the "orange Goofy" section and it literally took us about 30 seconds to find our bags. Disney really knows how to organize! Everything went so quickly here that I didn't even have time to think about taking photos. We walked out of the terminal, we said that we were staying at Pop Century and they directed us to a van with a few other people. We climbed in and we were off within about 10 minutes! I thought for sure we'd be on a bus and that we'd be waiting for a while. We got to Pop Century in about an hour and they already had our room ready for us! We decided to share a room with Holly & Leah for these last two nights which would turn out to be a big mistake. I'll tell you why soon!
This was to be a whirlwind day. On our account we got base ticket for only one park but on ebay I got a good deal on two parkhoppers. So today we were going to use our parkhoppers and we wanted to hit three parks. Whew!! So first we went to Hollywood Studios. We tried to get fast passes for Toy Story Mania but the return time was very late so we got them for the Rockin Roller Coaster instead. Then we sat down to have lunch. Yep, just some run of the mill chicken fingers and fries!
Holly & Leah wanted to look for some pins so Eilee and I walked around, did some shopping and got a cupcake from Starring Rolls! We split this and it was yummy!
We met Holly & Leah at Rockin Roller Coaster at our designated time and after we went on we stood in line at Tower of Terror. And wouldn't you know it - we got stuck on the ride in the dark! We were stuck for quite a while and after we finally got out they offered us the opportunity to get right back on. So of course we did!
Then we took the bus to Animal Kingdom where we saw the creepy tree lady. I know she has a name but I can't think of it right now. She is covered in leaves and walks on stilts.
We stayed there for most of the day until it was time for our reservation at Ohana. I'd actually tried to cancel this because we would be eating at the exact same time as the Packers/Giants playoff game! But this was one of the restaurants that you can't cancel without a fee so we ended up eating. I can thank Disney for this new policy because I missed what would turn out to be a horrible game and the Packers got pummeled. Thank you Disney! All four of us sat down and Holly & Leah decided to order chicken fingers and fries while Eilee and I ate all of the good stuff that is included in a meal at Ohana! I also ordered this and it happens to be the only photo I took during the meal!
A tropical mojito of some sort!
Because Holly & Leah decided that they didn't want to eat anything else, they left to go back to Animal Kingdom. Even though they ate chicken fingers they charged them for an adult dining credit and I ended up eating the tip for that. Grrr! Anyway, while we were eating Eilee got a text from her BFF back home to say that she was at Magic Kingdom! We knew that they'd be there soon but we thought they were arriving on the day we left. So after dinner we took the monorail over to MK and we found Tallee and her family just before Wishes! The girls were all screams and giggles of course!
What a fun night! We went on some rides and walked around with Tallee's family. The girls were so happy to see each other!
And here is where it got bad. We texted Holly to join us but she said that Leah doesn't like Eilee's friend so they wouldn't. We all arrived back at the room around the same time and went to bed. I knew that Holly snores because we shared a room prior to the cruise but it was only off and on. Well this night it was HORRIBLE! I was so tired but it kept me up all night as it was so loud. At one point in the middle of the night Eilee turned to me and said "Really??"
I didn't sleep at all! once the clock hit 6 am, I went to the front desk and asked if they had another room that I could book for tonight. I got us another room, went to have breakfast at the food court and then went back up to shower. I was so exhausted but the day proved to be a lot of fun!
Next up...Epcot!
I might've had to stuff a pillow over her face. 
I hope you are still friends by the time we get to the end of the report.
