DAY 9: Saturday November 12th
We were up bright and early this morning at 6:45 so we could finish packing and give the room a once-over to make sure we were not forgetting anything. I had posted a few nights before on a couple of Bonnet Creek threads to see if anyone needed some diapers, because we had TONS left over from the case DH had bought, but we managed to find space for every last diaper somewhere in our luggage.
We also had to get DS ready for the parks and feed him some breakfast, plus bring the rocking chair over to Building 1 so that it could be picked up from there. We officially checked out of Bonnet Creek at 8:45 am. We considered leaving our luggage with bell services and picking it up after we finished at the park, but we figured we'd be able to spend more time at the park if we didn't have to make a stop at the resort before going to the airport. So we loaded everything into the rental car and headed to the Magic Kingdom!
We arrived right at 9 am, but the park had already been open for an hour for EMH, so we didn't get to see the opening show again. Bummer! We knew we wanted to ride Dumbo one more time, so we headed straight there. The posted wait time was 20 minutes but we only waited 13 and we were on our Dumbo!
DS loved it just as much as he had the first time! We attempted to get a picture of him in the stationary Dumbo outside the ride, but DH had the wrong settings on the camera and by the time we noticed it was just a white screen instead of a picture, we didn't have time to stop back and try again. Maybe next time.
Then we headed over to Winnie the Pooh, where the interactive queue was actually open, so we were able to see other kids playing the games. DS enjoyed the honey walls this time!
Next we decided to ride Pirates of the Caribbean and went through the line with absolutely no wait. DS seemed to enjoy it even more this time and had fun looking around at all of the scenes. DH wanted to try the Tea Cups again, so we went back to Fantasyland to check out the wait, which was maybe 5 minutes.
"I will destroy you, tea cup!"
After our spin on the tea cups, we thought we'd check out the wait at Buzz Lightyear since we had not ridden it yet this trip, but it was over 20 minutes, so we skipped it. Maybe next time, Buzz! Instead, since we were right there, we hopped on...you guessed it, the TTA! I think that make a total of 3 times this trip?
It was getting close to when we'd have to exit the park, so we made our way over the Tomorrowland bridge. But we did have a few minutes to stop for our last Photopass pictures of the trip!
I think DS was just as bummed as we were to be leaving because he did NOT want to cooperate for those pictures!!
We went over to the baby care center so we could warm DS's milk, but we gave it to him on the go. It was already 11:50 and we needed to be heading to the airport! The real reason he didn't want to take pictures soon became apparent when we reached the monorail platform. My boo boo was tired!
I posted that picture on Facebook with the caption,
"He's officially all Disney'd out. On our way to the airport. Sad it's over but we had an incredible time!!"
We went straight to the airport and were overjoyed to find out that our checked luggage was under the weight limit! No more rearranging right there at the check-in desk like we had the last time we flew home from Disney World. We grabbed some lunch for DH and myself at Chick-Fil-A and fed DS his jar food, and stopped to check out the
Disney store before going through security. We inquired about empty seats on the plane, and found out they actually did have a few, so we were able to get a free seat for DS. They told us he just had to be in the window seat. We had plenty of time before the plane was to board to let DS burn off some energy.
We boarded the plane with family boarding, and I sat with DS while DH got the carseat installed in the window seat. I sat in the middle, with DH in the aisle seat and we settled in for our flight home. We put DS's Ear Planes in, and he actually fell asleep during takeoff!
Wish I could say it was uneventful from there, but not quite! After sleeping for about 20 minutes, DS woke up SCREAMING! He just could not be consoled no matter what we tried to give him, so I ended up taking him out of the seat and putting him in my lap while DH pulled out the iPad with Elmo videos loaded onto it. That finally settled him down, so DH propped the iPad up on its kickstand and had it on the tray table so DS could see, while DH continued to hand him puffs from a container. Well, the lady in the seat in front of DH got up to use the restroom and when she sat back down, the iPad started to fall over. DH went to go grab it with the same hand that currently had an open snack container of puffs in his hand, which sent them flying all over the lady across the aisle from us!!
It was hysterical, and luckily she thought it was pretty funny herself, or else I probably wouldn't have laughed so much! Poor lady was just sitting there minding her own business reading a book, and she got showered with puffs!
We put DS back into his seat for the landing, and by then he was fine. My dad picked us up from the airport, and we picked up our car and our cat from their house, and made the 2 hour drive home. DS was out like a light halfway through the car ride and stayed asleep when we got him inside and to his crib. Our day started at 6:45 am in Orlando, and ended at 8:15 pm in our own beds!!
