April 24 Good bye Wonder!
After a mad dash to get the bags outside by 11pm we got the kids & ourselves to bed after midnight. I just could not sleep this night. we had some rough seas heading back to the port. The water was being splashed out of the pool (as some a cm told us at breakfast) The hangers on the closet were banging into each other & the cabin was swaying & creaking.
We were up by 5:30am, made sure we left nothing behind & made our way to BBB for our last breakfast aboard the Wonder. By 7:30am we were headed off the ship. The Captain was there to say Goodbye.
We were all very sad to leave the ship but now my mind was on WDW. We got our bags & were escorted to a small van to take us & another family to the Boardwalk. I thought this was nice since we didn't have to take the
DCL bus, however that feeling changed when the older gentleman driving us seemed to have fallen asleep & stopped about 1 foot short behind another car & then swirved into the next lane almost hitting another car.
1 split second later & we would have been at the very least making a hospital visit. Thankfully all was ok & the other family told him off so we didn't have too.
Ok back to the fun part....we arrive at the Boardwalk Inn around 9am. We check in & they take our bags. Obviously the room is not ready so we head to Epcot.
We got to ride Soarin, Test Track, Spaceship Earth (my kids loved this), & play in Innoventions. Dinner was at Beirgarten (Dana's favorite).
we went back to the BWI to settle in for the night. They gave us a room that was so far from the lobby I think we were in another state.
When we got to the room, I pulled out my lysol wipes & wiped down the tub & my wipe was all gray. The room was dusty
I looked out the balcony & saw 2 huge satelite dishes & a busy roadway behind France. Well I could handle the view but not that long walk or the dirty room so I went to the front desk & asked if we could have another room. The Cm who helped me apologized & was looking for another room, but this other CM came over & said "someone has to get that room you know". I said I understand that but for the $ I was paying it was not acceptable. He then said "well I cannot reduce your room rate because of the view" Now I was regretting switching from Pop to BWI and I was missing my Beach Club. The helpful CM gave me another room on the first floor close to the elevator. I went back to the room & told Dana what happened. Well he went down & had some "words" with the CM who was not so friendly & it really put him off to the whole place. It was now past 9pm & we had been up since 5:30am & were in no mood for this. So we get to our new room which was lovely. It had a patio facing a courtyard, & you could even see the top of Illuminations. Now if they had just given us this room before we would have started off on a good note. We showered & went to bed cranky.

's and 
all around!!!
And for Chocolate or Vanilla I definitely was thinking ice cream because I would choose vanilla ice cream, bu in most other situations I would choose chocolate for sure. 
We sat in the middle & it was a fine spot. The girl in the show was named Anne Marie so my kids got such a kick out of that. This show was wonderful. All the characters were in it & the music was great. The scenery blows you away..& the costumes..amazing what they can fit backstage with 4 shows & all those set & costumes. Even though Peter our cruise director came out & asked that there be no video taping during the show, I noticed at least 5 people around me taping. The guy in front of me held his camera up over his head right in my face. But what can you do...we enjoyed the show & loved when Tink sprinkled the whole ship with pixie dust.
