Oh having to recall the day's events on our final day at WDW is so sad. We had a great final day, but the whole thought having to leave the place was too sad. We hadn't seen it all! Plus, we were going to meet my parents the next day at HHI. I got lucky for a 2 bedroom villa at Disney's HHI Resort, which I will post the pics on my final post.
Good News...Jon officially gave me the green light on planning our next trip, so we will be back either the end of September or beginning of October. Yay!!!!
Okay...Day 7. I missed driving our car so we used that as our transportation for this day. The bus system is very nice, but it was a good change for us on our final day at the world.
We went to the Boardwalk 1st thing after breakfast at our resort. After breakfast is when we found out that we had 6 counter service credits left on our DP and we are leaving the next day! Oh gosh! So we knew we were going to be doing a lot of piggin out....
After breakfast we began our day's journey driving to the Boardwalk. I think I fell in love with that place instantly. We had seen some great resorts through out the week, but I think I am drawn to the BW Inn and Villas. It does have that Atlantic City feel which is neat. Any of you all that stayed at BWV??? I would love to hear your thoughts!!
Parking at the BW was no trouble as I have heard on her before, we just showed our KTTW cards and they let us park on the property. We explored the resort and Jon could tell that I wanted to really stay there so I think this maybe home for us in September/October.....
Here are some pics that Jon took....
Love the decor....
And I do wanna go here and cut a rug....anybody ever been?
And we stopped by Sea Shore Sweets Candy Shop....and I was happy to see the Miss America Theme inside the shop.....Jon and I are volunteers for the Miss America Organization, on the local level, it was just really neat viewing all the history of all the Miss America's pictures hanging on the wall.
The official robe and crown was on displayed so Jon took a pic.....
They would not let me try it on....
After exploring the BW grounds and trading a few pins with CM there, we hopped on the boat to the WS entrance for Epcot. When I saw that we really did not need to take the boat to WS, BW being so close to WS, we knew then we wanted to stay at BW next time.....so close to Epcot! A hop, skip, twirl, and jump!
We really enjoyed the afternoon strolling around WS, we did not go up front to FW, we really enjoyed WS. Here are some pics from that afternoon....
Jon in Morocco...
Me and the Camel....
The coi in Japan....BTW....Japan is our favorite country at WS!
And we ended up eating lunch at Norway....
Jon got a roast beef sandwich with a chocolate cake thingie for desert. I got the chicken salad with a coconut custard thingie for desert. Save your time and money eating here...the only good thing I can say about eating in Norway is the deserts are really good, but the actual food items are not that great....
I will go back here if I have craving for something sweet! Not for lunch though...blah!
We ran into Musu in China...he is so cute!
We actually ran into a lot characters throughout the WS..Pooh and friends were in England...along with Mary Poppins. Also, we saw Jasmine and Aladin in Morocco....Dopey was in Germany. I didn't get any personal pics of them....but Photopass did and I ordered our CD from the Photopass online, but we have not received it yet. Speaking of Photopass, a really nice photopass lady did a photo shoot with me and Jon while we were in France which was very nice of her! She got some great pics of us, it was like having our own private photo session. I guess she was bored and wanted to take some photos of us.....
So, it was just a nice relaxing day strolling around WS and it made up for most of the afternoon. The weather was very nice and it did get up into the 70's that day....just a good day! We sampled some food from other areas to use up our CS credits....Mexico's CS was like Taco Bell. England had some pretty good Fish and Chips.....again, sorry that I took no food pics!
We did return home to dress for our ADR at O'Hauna's. Our ADR was at 830p and we were excited to see the Poly and eat at O'Hauna's.....warning about driving to the Poly.....the parking places are hard to find there, so go early if you are driving your own vehicle. It was like the mall at Christmas.....we were way early arriving....
The Poly is lovely. Love the tropical theme.....here are some pics!
Jon and the tiki...
Me on the tiki....
Jon at the pool area....
Me entertaining guests at the pool at the poly....I didn't get a call back. Maybe if I had Don Ho with me, it would have been better....
At the bar....
I just told the bartender give me something fruity, and he noticed that I had Jon already, so I got a Island something....and Jon got something with a glow cube!
Here's my drink!
Okay...onto O'Hana's....and I will try to be nice. Early in the evening, I checked in at 8pm for our 830pm ADR.....It took almost an hour to be seated. The place was a huge zoo. We had a great time browsing through the shops and roaming the grounds, but we waited a long time to get seated.
And I hate to be negative about this review at O'Hauna's....we hated it. The food was awful. The only thing I liked was the chicken wings and desert. Jon became ill right when we were seated. Maybe it was a reaction from his drink, but it was the same drink he ordered at Boma which he was fine then. Overall, I really don't know what the fuss is all about O'hauna's....I hate that we did not have a good time. We did not let it kill our last night at Disney, it was just plain out horrible. The service was good and we commented to the very nice waitress that we were not "feelin' it " tonight.....Jon was sick during the whole dining experience...but while he stepped away, I took some pics of the action in the restuarant....
This lady was sweet, but she was beginning to get on my nerves...
If you have kids, they will love this place....they raced around with the coconuts...and we had ring side seats.....
And I will end this note with a self pic of Jon and I.....Jon is trying to be happy but he was feeling the bad spirit of Ohauna's.....
I was feeling his pain....but it's all good! We had a wonderful week!!!!
We went to go get the car in what was now a nearly empty parking lot and since Jon was feeling a little better, we went to DTD for some more shopping. Shopping will cure anything!
We came back "home" and we packed up a little so we would not have to worry with in the morning! A sad time.....
Next up....a final note and pics of Disney's HHI Resort...
Anyway....it was all good and we will do it again on our return.....
Loving your trip report! In September my honey & I are going without the kids for the 1st time. Hopefully it'll be as wonderful as yours sound.
