Our room window. Did you see it?
Our last day I had planned to go to Downtown Disney so that we could buy souvenirs. I decided I wanted a nice coffee table book. For that reason I didn't actually take many pictures, since I'd have the coffee table book. Surely there'd be one somewhere in DTD.
However, in the morning I was sad we didn't spend enough time at MK, so we went there. I figured I could get my book online. (BTW, can't find one, so no souvenir for me.
)
We took our luggage to my mom's room since she got a 1pm checkout and then boarded the buses.
I knew something special was going on, because the Times Guide put out was just for Oct 4. I found out later it was the day the Keys to the Kingdom family was there, but I wouldn't have known it. There was a special new stage show for the Year of a Million dreams, with pyrotechnics!

Too thirsty to smile.
We rode the Carousal and Its a Small World and a few other rides and let DD play in Pooh's Playful Spot.

We then went back to the resort.
DD played in the Pop Jets, and one finally got her! After that she had
no more love for the Pop Jets!

We moved our luggage to the front where my mom sat with it until it was time to go. Like a good DISer, I didn't take any of the towel animals we received during our trip. However, as we were leaving the room, our mousekeeper came running after us with one of the towel animals for DD. So we took it. Of course it was the one DD had pulled all the stickers off of so it was one-eyed.

We ate lunch in the food court and waited outside for ME to get us. Of course I forgot where I put the boarding passes so I'm tearing apart everything looking for them. Never did find them. They let me on anyway.
Out front of the resort (before boarding ME) there were activities for DD like chalk to color with and hula hoops. She just kept hoarding the hula hoops!

We arrived at the airport, got a Skycap for the luggage (my mom tipped, so it was free to me), and waited for our flight.
We got back to Philly a bit later than anticipated. We had to circle over the airport for 45 minutes. DD kept saying "done, done" but of course I had to keep her in her seat. I finally turned on our portable DVD player, and then 10 minutes later we got the "turn off electronic devices" message.
Since it was so late, we spent the night at my parents who live near Philly (We had planned to drive the 2.5 hours home that night). I went straight to work the next day. Yes, I didn't even go home first!
For future reference...take off work the day after you plan to arrive!
Oh, and funny last comment. Like I said, I was good and didn't take any of the towel animals, but as I was unpacking I discovered I accidentally took a hotel towel! I'm a Disney hotel towel thief!
Thanks for reading!
We did the hula and DD was really into it.
