Day 7 The One With the Last Day and Park Hopping
Again I was woken up by hubby as he got home from work. We chatted for awhile before I went to the food court for breakfast, where I tucked into the breakfast bagel. Then I went back to my room to shower and get dressed. I bumped into my cleaner and spoke to her for a few minutes. I headed straight to MGM as there was a Home Improvements souvenir I wanted to buy for hubby and I hadnt had enough money on me the other day when Id first seen it. I also wanted to watch the Beauty & the Beast show as Id missed it the other day. I got to MGM just in time for the first Beauty & the Beast show and I managed to catch the end of Four for a Dollars act first I like these guys, theyre really good. Here I got a shock I went to check my cameras memory card to see how much room I had left as Id been going a bit mad on the photo front (as you do) and it told me the memory was empty! Eh? There was supposed to be over 100 photos there. I took the card out, put it back in and tried again nothing. Somehow Id lost over 100 photos from the past four days to say I was gutted was an understatement! Since coming home and showing it to hubby, it turns out the card decided to reset itself and said it needed formatting. Once it was formatted, it started taking photos again so I really have no idea what happened here. I lost some great photos and Im still really bummed about it, but what can you do. At least were going back in September so I can show hubby the things I did but its not the same. Anyway, I digress.
The Beauty & the Beast show was fantastic as always and I got all weepy at the end, even though I know the story has a happy ending. It is official Im a sap! I walked to Animation Courtyard and found the stall just past One Mans Dream that had the Home Improvement souvenirs on it. I bought hubby a grey sleeveless t-shirt with Binford Tools on the front and on the back it said Real Men Dont Need Instructions. Seeing as hubbys very good at DIY I knew hed find it funny, plus he loves the show.
I then walked back to the fastpass kiosk for Voyage of the Little Mermaid and managed to get one for the next show so in I went. I really enjoyed the show, although I felt a little sad as I knew it would be my last time for a few months, but I knew that September would be here in no time. From here, I stopped in a few shops to have a nose round. I fell in love with a pair of Mickey shaped earrings and a Walt Disney World top which looked very comfy so I decided to buy it to wear on the plane journey home. The time was 1.30 and it was so hot and sticky my clothes were well and truly stuck to my skin. MGM was getting incredibly busy so I decided it was time to head back to Pop Century. I called hubby straight away to tell him my tale of woe about the last photos. He was gutted as hed been looking forward to seeing what Id been up to. I did a lot of things that we hadnt done together so now hed have to wait til our next trip to do them with me.
After talking to hubby and my mum briefly, I had another shower to cool down. The temperature was showing 92 degrees on the WDW Today page and I literally had to peel the clothes off me yuk! I sat on the bed towel drying my hair and next thing I knew, it was 5pm and Id fallen asleep with the towel still in my hand oops! I dont even remember lying down. I started packing and it dawned on me that I was going home. I also realized how much Id missed my hubby so I rang him hoping hed still be up and luckily he was. I had a good cry and felt better knowing that in under 2 days, Id be home with him. Hubby was picking me up at the airport and I couldnt wait to see him. After a nice chat, I got dressed and finished packing.
Tonight I had another ticket for the E-Ride night. The queue at the bus stop for Magic Kingdom was huge so I decided to stop for a bite to eat first. I had chicken strips again. Half hour later and the queue was just as bad. I went and sat down to wait for the next bus. While I was sat down, I saw a stroller come flying through the air towards me and land just a few feet away from where I was sitting. I looked up to see where it had come from and saw a man stomping round shouting at his wife saying he didnt want to be round any of them right now. His wife was holding a small child and she came and picked up the stroller, apologizing and he then had a go at her for apologizing. Their 3 daughters obviously hated their parents arguing because they all started to cry, and it was a terrible scene. What a time and place to throw a strop. They moved towards the front of Classic Hall and all I could see was a lot of gesturing on his part. Talk about ruining the day for them all and I doubt it did the stroller much good either.
My right knee was really playing up and felt really sore but I decided to keep going anyway. The queue for Magic Kingdom was even bigger and I spotted an Epcot bus pulling in. There were only 2 people waiting for the Epcot bus so I decided to go to Epcot then take the monorail over to the Magic Kingdom. I got off the bus at Epcot and started walking towards the monorail station when my knee clicked out and suddenly I was in agony with it. I sat down and rubbed my knee but the pain wouldnt go and I couldnt click it back into place. This happens every now and then if I do a lot of walking. I hadnt been prepared for this and didnt have any painkillers on me, although I had a tub of ibuprofen back at the room. I hobbled round for 10 minutes hoping my knee would improve but it was getting worse, so defeated, I headed back to the Pop Century bus stop. I sat down and carried on massaging my knee while waiting for the bus. This was the longest wait I had and it was just over 15 minutes. My knee pain wasnt easing up at all so I got on the bus. I hobbled back to my room and took some ibuprofen. The Cheetah Girls was on the Disney Channel so I decided to watch it, hoping it would take the focus off my knee while I was waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in. The pain died down slightly but not enough. After the Cheetah Girls ended, I walked slowly to Everything Pop to try and get some life back in my knee. I grabbed a few refills and sat down to write up more of my trip report. I was hoping to maybe go to the Magic Kingdom but as my knee was still throbbing, I decided not to push it so I went back to my room. I watched That 70s Show as usual and got comfortable as I was again planning to stay up all night for my flight back to the UK.
