Luckily it was probably only 15 minutes, but the bus finally came. We got off the bus in the marketplace, knowing we wanted to check out the shops and get some lunch. Decided everyone could find something at McDonalds so we head down that way. It was so hot already. I couldnt believe it. We were all exhausted, hot, tired. This makes me rethink my idea of late day flights home. I wanted to get my moneys worth so we arrived very early Monday and were leaving late today (Saturday). At this time, I am thinking what was wrong with me???
The only pictures I got at DTD were in front of the Cirque sign (as I didnt take any the previous night by the theater).
We enjoyed lunch and did some window-shopping. I dont think we bought anything as we were too wiped and honestly we knew wed be back in a few months.
It was around 2:30 and we were all worn out so we decided wed go back to POP and just sit in the snack area and relax (in the cool air). DS decided to do some self portraits, lol
After arriving back at POP, we got a snack and then took a walk around POP and took some pictures:
Giant Playdough
Jungle Book
A zoomed in shot of the Legendary Years section. So odd to see it just sitting. Id love to see them turn it into more suites.
Goofy, his car and Tyler
Big Wheel
Mickey Phone
After our little stroll around POP, it was time to go wait for the bus. We got outside to see one bus loading and getting ready to leave. It was just about 5pm and our bus was supposed to come at 5:15, so we panicked thinking it might of come early. Fortunately, it was the 4:45 running behind!!! That was fine. So we got our stuff situated on the curb waiting our bus and a CM came by and struck up a conversation. He works at POP and is originally from SD. He came to Disney for a College Program and now lives there and works full time for the MOUSE!!! I have heard more and more of this and am worried DD wont ever want to come home. He was kind and shared some tid bits of information and also his email and phone number for DD so if she had ANY questions when she gets there, she can call him. Very nice. (and no, he was NOT hitting on her).. thankfully.
Our bus arrived right on time and sorry to say, we were officially leaving Disney!!! I hate to go home (but love going home)!!! We did have a delay at the airport, but we just hung out and rested there (bought a book, magazines, food, stuff) to pass the time. Of course, we had to make one stop at the Harley store for more pics on the bike there.
If you have managed to stick around while I remembered our trip, I want to thank you. I love to read trip reports, and find it hard to pull myself away when I get into one. I know this hasnt been too exciting, but well be back in three months and two weeks, and Ill have more to write about.
If youd like, Ill update when our DD gets settled into the College Program at Disney and we find where she is working.
Did you enjoy Cirque du Soleil? I really loved that show! Can't wait to read more about your trip!
Our girls are really looking forward to Animal Kingdom. They love zoos. We didn't go there last year but are for sure this time. Did you and Aubre enjoy Cirque du Soleil? My husband and I got to go to it in Feb.'06 and loved it. When we went a lady came in late and sat next to my husband. Because she was late she didn't hear the part about no pics and and took one not long after she sat down. The ushers were there in no time flat and started pointing their flashlights at my husband. He quickly pointed at the woman next to him. They gave her a warning about no flash photography. Luckily she didn't do it again. 
Oh, my goodness, I cant believe we have to go home today. The week actually flew by (as it does whenever you are away from home). I think the older I get the faster the time seems to go.
