Day 8) Its time to Say Good-bye, but first some Pirates and a very FAST country tour
.
We all got up about 7:45 am ish & Michael got ready for his Pirate Cruise over at the GF. I had Aldine take a shower after DH & I and then I finished packing our bags for checkout. Plus I made 2 last-minute runs up to the giftshop in the GCH and bought a new 12x12 scrapbook for myself, and some paper kits, and 3 smaller scrapbook kits for the kids and I found Aldines last souvenir a HSM stationary (back to school) supply kit. Its really cool, w/ markers, colored pencils, sissors, erasers, and more in a very nice zipper section pouch. She keeps it on her desk at home and uses the supplies often. Oh BTW if you spent a certain amount of $$ you could purchase a really nice WDW canvas tote bag for $10 which I did. It is an awesome bag! I use it all the time when we are going places.
(DH took Michael to his cruise via the monorial while I went to the giftshop)
Here are some pictures of Michael getting on the boat:
He got those cool Mickey Mouse Eared Pirate bandana hat and a cool little treasure box filled w/ loot, plus he had some food.
Then DH & I lugged our luggage down to the airline checkin outside the GCH (we couldnt just leave our bags in the room because our 1 suitcase was too large and had to be checked by us at the airport. I left DH w/ the bags and the line and ran to get some bfsast for everyone.
Back to the room to finish eating and organizing and we left our room at the WONDERFUL POLY RESORT for the last time
around 11:15 am DH had already headed back to get Michael from the cruise.
He took several of these wonderful resort pictures along the path btwn the Poly & the GF. (Im not sure if I posted any of these yet on this TR but enjoy again if I did)
While waiting for DH and Michael to return I picked out some new WDW shirts for the kids at one of the other giftshops. I picked out a Navy Blue one for Michael w/ Mickey, Donald, & Goofy w/ surf boards on it. Aldine picked out a read WDW shirt w/ Minnie on it, Mae picked out a very pretty teal Ariel shirt, and I picked out a Tink WDW onesie for Margaret.
Once we met up, we headed over to the TTC to catch the Epcot monorail. Once inside the park, we checked the line for SSE, but still too long so we headed over to catch a water launch into the WS. But to discover they had only 1 boat running and we ended up waiting almost 20 minutes (I just couldnt bear to walk up and back today) We just sat and had a snack.
After we did make it into the WS, we walked over to the American Pavilian to catch the 1:30 show. I had to leave pretty early in the beginning of the show though because Margaret just couldnt handle it. I hadnt remembered how long the show was, and it seemed to take forever! Major WDW rookie mistake there .
Once DH and the others kids got out of the theatee (BTW they all really enjoyed it, the twins LOVE history like their parents)we barely had time to finish touring the countries. So we basically rushed from country to country just to get Maes tags and stamps for her mask.
In USA she got a rocking horse:
In Japan, a homemade origami bird
In Morocco, a plastic jewel thing
In France, I forget have to look at the mask to figure it out . But here is a picture of her in Au Paris:
In the UK there was a huge line entanglement in the giftshop because Pooh Bear and one of is 100 arce friends were in there too for autographs, she got a dragon crest there. And of course walking out of the gift shop I saw some classic Mary Poppins Books, wish I had time to look at them and maybe I shouldnt have taken a picture for a special friend of mine .
At this point of course wouldnt it figure almost 8 whole days of never neededing to unfold those ponchos, it finally started to rain (while in the parks) and we had to cover up everyone and the stroller, it wasnt bad, but I know those FL showers, one can never be too cautious w/ the rain The wind was certaintly picking up and it must have dropped like 10 degrees outside in a matter of minutes (I know because I wasn't sweating anymore) plus we saw some lightening in the distance and heard thunder. I was like oh please just let us get out of the park ..
We made it over to Canada in the beginning rain for the last tag and stamp (a feather loop?) is what I have written down .
Then a very quick walk back to the Monorail and on our way back to the TTC.
RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It finally started pouring now. We had to for sure put the ponchos on and made a run for it up and down the ramps to get on the Resort Monorial to take that back to the POLY. (Normally wed just walk back but not in this rain)
We got back in the Poly and hoped to have a quick late lunch at the QS Captain Cooks but it was packed in there, proably because of the rain its not a very BIG eating area inside. So we just sat in the hallway by a planter and shared some pizza and such. Then I went to pick up our shirts I had held at the giftshop and our luggage from bag check. It of course had stopped raining now. DH waited outside w/ Michael and our stuff, while I took the girls to change and freshen up in the restroom before the DME bus arrived.Oh and we also stopped and bought these to finish off the last of our snack credits on the DDP...I knew I saved these wrappers for 6 months for a reason:
Coming back the BUS WAS THERE and was practically ready to leave!!!!!
The girls and I made a mad dash to get on board and there was no time to make sure everything was together, etc. DH looked pretty frantic .
I dont even think I was sitting down and the bus was moving.
We got dropped off at OIA and after some major confusion about where to check our final bag we headed to our gate. When we get over there. That section is under construction so its kinda scary looking and it is very packed w/ people all over the place. I had a bad feeling .
But our plane is posted to LEAVE ON TIME!! Our plane to take us home arrives at 6:40 pm, and we should be boarding in about a ½ hour. So I take Mae to the restroom to have her use the bathroom and change into jammies for the ride home; to come back to see our take-off has been pushed back to 8:20 PM
1 HOUR and 10 minutes LATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And of course we had just woken up a sleeping Margaret to change her as well. During the time we were already waiting the kids were watching Mary Poppins on DHs laptop, so we turn that back on.
And try to amuse a cranky and tired Margaret. Then the time rolls around to 7:50 pm and they push back our flight AGAIN!!!!!!
Now it wont be till after 10:40 pm Chicago time that wed be home not to mention actually get off the plane, get our luggage, in the van and back home! Were looking at Midnight by then!
The last quote from my journal:
Its now 8:05 ish pm Orlando time and we are still waiting hey I guess I could get caught up on the journaling of the trip oh and I should mention the 3 terror children well be flying home with that have been running around and screaming etc in the terminal area and one very short tempered and cranky Grandma .(no Im not talking abou my kids) well I guess Ill let you know how it goes later
Thats all FOLKS!
I didnt write anything else .
But we did finally make it on the plane and safely home to Chicago where my Dad came w/ our van and picked us up at the airport. Here are a couple pictures of a very tried Mae waiting outside w/ our stuff before he arrived:
Please come back as I wrap this TR from June and share some of the highlights and thums down moments of our adventure at WDW.

Favorite Attraction: A-SpM, Mi-LF again, Ma-seeing the Princesses
Souvenirs we got: A-got Jasmine playset, Ma-got make your own Princess crown & Mi-got a pirate car & book all w/ their own Disney $
Memorable Moments: waiting and watching the Jack Sparrow Pirate Tutorial, it was funny, good and the twins got picked to be part of his honorable crew. Plus our wonderful magical time spent w/ Princess Aurora, Cinderella, & Belle.
Favorite Picture of the Day:
great character meet & greet!
Day 8) Thursday 6-12 Departure Day
Where we went: Michael had his Pirate Cruise Adventure at the GF and then Epcot for 3 hrs.
What we Discovered: the American Adventure show & waiting for the boat launch into the WS took WAY too much time and we ended up rushing thru the rest of the countries. Can you ever make it through a WDW trip w/ out once needing to put on those ponchos?
What we Liked: the kids enjoyed the AA show and Mae got the rest of her tag-charms, Michael really enjoyed his Pirate Cruise!
What we didn’t like: the little bit of rain and needing the ponchos at the very end, me not seeing the AA show, crowded lunch at the Poly
Favorite Attraction: the American Adventure Show
Souvenirs we got: I got scrapbooks for me and the kids, Aldine got the HSM supply kit
Memorable Moments: Michael had such a great time at the Pirate Cruise and all his special keepsakes from it. It was a great end to his trip.
Favorite Picture of the Day:
Mae and collecting her WS tags!
more to come....before we're done

Oh, I just love your idea of doing a re-cap at the end! It was so much fun to read about your "favs" so far.
(But, judging from the pictues, I think I may have missed a post or two!) Now I will just have to go back and re-read!
Be back later,
Kathy

Thanks,
I had made an actual Disney journal from some page ideas from mousesavers and filled it out mostly upon our return home (while I was
in bed) so I thought what I great way to use those thoughts to wrap this very long PTR-TR up....sorry you missed some posts there...I tried in the beginning on the 1st page to mark each new post, but I got behind in the end.I love the recap!! It really pulls the whole report together, puts a big red bow on it and sprinkles it with pixie dust!!
Thanks Amy

Ok yes that is a lot but seriously minus a few items and the things I cant find, all this stuff has been worn, used, played with on a regular basis!
Dont go in June again or only tour early morning and after sun sets.
Do try and stay on a monorail resort again, really liked the Poly
Do try and plan more time at the Resort-it [they] are really so NICE!
Do schedule more tour time for the countries in World Showcase/Epcot-you really need equivalent of 1 whole day!
Try to eat lunch/dinner in WS again.
Do Not plan on eating dinner again at the Mexican Cantina
Can pass viewing the Block Party Parade-it was ok IMHO
Do lots of character meals, and meet & greets
Do the DDP plan again, worked out GREAT!
Needed more time at the DHS-if ever going during a SWW time again you need 1 day for just that and 1 day for regular studios things
Do bring snacks from home again, worked well in the parks for all.
Need to schedule almost a ½ day preferable a morning at the Markletplace-DTD for shopping.
Do no parks on the 1st day-worked good, 2 trips in a row now.
No new goals or things that have to be done in a park on the last day-just too crazy w/ check-out and travel time.
MK: ??
AK: characters, more Boneyard time, Tree of Life, parade
DHS: Star Tours, MV3D, HISTK playset, Animation Tour, Walts Thing, Narnia, Fantasmic, characters, TGMR, HSM pep rally, RnRC
Epcot: more country Time, SSE, Maelstrom, boat ride in Mexico, Living the Land, Universe of Energy, Innoventions
Water Park again
Mini Golf
Cirque de Sole Show-Matt
The weather was cool & partly cloudy in Chicago when we left and was HOT & sunny in Orlando when we arrived (and when we left).
What I remember the most about our trip is the Heat first off. Wonderful use of the GAC card for Michael how it made such a world of a difference for lines, etc. The great characters and interactions at the meals and in the parks. Riding EE w/ my Mom was great fun. Climbing/swimming our way up Main Street (DH & I) on Friday night and the quietness of the park at the end of our time.
The Best things about the trip were FotLK, OHana Character Meal-Stitch Scaring Me, my MK night w/ Aldine, the Wonderful Princess meet & greet, the Jawa at the Studios, everything about the Poly resort, and SpectroMagic.
The worst things about the trip were the Heat, some miscalculations in my Epcot planning, Margaret hating the buses, leaving, and losing my MGM water strap.
The funniest things about the trip were bumping into two church families, Matt crowing w/ Peter Pan twice, Aldine calling Captain Hook and ol codfish, and the Step-Sisters teasing our Cinderella
The final magic capturing Picture of the trip:
didn't you know I was going to choose this....
for taking this re-journey w/ me down all the ups and downs of our WDW family vacation. I had originally promised to share some tid-bits about the next MouseScrapper Family trip in the pre-pre planning stages
and that trip is still in the works but now Im in the midst of helping to plan a wonderful surprise bounce-back trip w/ my Parents to celebrate my Moms Birthday over our kids Spring Break the end of March.
I will be back w/ the siggie link soon!

What a great report!! You shared the ups and even some downs... I really got a lot of great ideas from your report - especially for doing Epcot with the kids. I don't want to miss the character connection - I want to do passports and/or masks and I'll make sure to schedule enough time there. Right now I have (3) half days scheduled there - do you think that'll be enough? The only problem with having half days is that the kids are going to want to ride something fast each time we are there - which will mean at least a little bit of time in FW before we get to the WS. Hopefully that'll be OK.
I loved seeing all of the princess stuff - with two boys I don't get to see that stuff in person so it was fun watching your girls enjoy them. And it was great to see the "extras" your kids did - the cooking class & the pirate cruise - how fun! It seems like you guys were there forever!
Now I can't wait to read along with your next trip! I hope you get some of your TR started before we go.

we had 3 1/2 days planned as well but it ended up equaling only like at the most 7 hours of actual touring. I think the big issue was we went in the afternoon each time. I think you'll be good as long as 1 of those is a morning to hit the big stuff first, just keep in mind even with our helpful card, Soarin still is a long wait (as you know)

Your welcome and thanks! It did seem like forever proably becuase the whole PTR-TR process was over a year of my life
Now I can't wait to read along with your next trip! I hope you get some of your TR started before we go.

Congratulations, Scrappie!
After that long "pregnancy", you delivered a bouncing baby "Boy-oh-Boy" of a trip report!!
I feel like Matt should be passing out chocolate cigars, all around!!
Best of luck with the upcoming Bounce-Back; I hope to be seeing you on the PTR board soon!
