Friday 30th Jan
Were awake earlyish hubby at 8am, me at 9. Apart from a slight fit at 4.30am that woke me, we more or less sleep right through. Yayy! We get dressed and eat our cheesecakes from the Cheesecake Factory for brekkie. Hubby polishes off his and I get about halfway through mine and have to stop, its very sickly.
We then go off to the Magic Kingdom so we can do a last few rides. We catch the train from Main Street USA and get off at Mickeys Toontown Fair to walk through to Fantasyland.
Main Street USA
the railroad
Theres only a slight queue for Winnie the Pooh so we join it. Were climbing the ramp leading to the start of the ride when a woman in front turns to us and says are there 2 of you? Yes is our reply and the cast member ushers us through. The CM is insisting all families ride together so we squeeze past a few miffed people as the CMs are trying to fill up the ride. Wicked! I love this ride, especially the bouncing with Tigger. We then go into Poohs Thotful Shop so I can buy a huge Eeyore who is wearing a purple nightcap nightshirt which says The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh One Hunny of a Ride. Sooo cute! From here, its time for Mickeys PhilharMagic again. Theres only a minute to showtime and we run like mad to get into the theatre. We get seated just as the doors closed. This show is wonderful. The screen opens up not just lengthways but height wise too. You must see this! It brings a tear to my eye. As we leave, theyre showing people to their seats to I make doe eyes at hubby and we sit back down to wait it again. Then we stop at Tinkerbells Treasures to get some earrings for Andys mum. We manage to catch the end of Cinderella's Surprise Celebration, which brings more tears to my eyes - soppy moo!
Im getting hungry after my half a cheesecake breakfast so we stop at Caseys Corner for hotdogs. Under $10 for 2 huge hotdogs and a large drink.
We then get the monorail back to the front and catch another to Epcot. Weve never gotten the monorail between parks before. At Epcot, we use our certificate for a free Leave Your Legacy tile. The picture taken is really lovely and were told well have mailed confirmation in 6-8 weeks with a copy of the picture and where it will be. Apparently it takes 3-4 months to appear and stays up for approximately 20 years. Cool huh? We leave feeling chuffed and head for Mission Space. There is no queue as everybody is at lunch so 15 minutes later, hubbys done and ready for Test Track. He gets whisked in on the single rider queue. Test Track says standby wait time of 40 minutes yet theres no queue, which is strange but the single riders wait time is only 15. I sit on the wall and wait only 20 minutes for hubby.
We head back to the bus stop and barely have to wait. We stop at everything Pop for more hot dogs then head back to our room to pack. Well, I start to pack and hubby falls asleep. An hour later, hes awake and he starts to help me. By the time were finished its 7pm. I ring my mum as wed peaked in a Daily Mail and seen pictures of blizzards eek. We change and head to Chilis for our farewell dinner. Boneless shanghai wings as usual, followed by a smoked turkey sandwich for hubby and the ribs and chicken combo for me again. $30 for everything. After, hubby drops me outside Everything Pop as its chucking it down with rain, and he parks the car and joins me. We have a few drinks and I have a last shop at Everything Pop before we head back to our room.
