..........................CONT......................
After The Land, we headed over to Test Track!
We first stopped for a second to watch this band! They were really good!
YAY MARY IS TALL ENOUGH TO RIDE!!!
We kept getting questions all day about our sweatshirts...."WHO GOT MARRIED?!?" Our response...."We ALL did!!"
To this response, Heather said, "TO EACH OTHER!"
Probably my FAVORITE picture from the whole trip!!! I love it!!
After Soarin, it was getting close to lunch time and our Magical Express bus left for the airport around 1:15 p.m.
I begged to first stop in Mouse Gears so I could see if they had the Dopey shirt for my mom.
Thankfully, everyone agreed!
Guess what I found inside?! THE SHIRT! I actually prayed that morning on our way to Epcot! I was like, "God, I know this is like the DUMBEST request EVER, but PLEASE please let me find this shirt for my mom cause I know it would make her so happy!" Just goes to show you that He cares about the little things, too!
I snapped this on our way out
We arrived at DTD via Mary's Car! Yay!
Lunch was of course at Earl of Sandwich!!!
I had a turkey sandwich that I don't remember the name of! lol!
We ate fast so we still had time to get Ice Cream at Ghirardelli! My favorite!!
I'm looking forward to April for some more Mickey rice crispy treats and THIS drink in Ghirardelli! It was AMAZING! My mouth is watering just thinking about it! They crushed up pieces of their caramel chocolates and mixed them with ice cream! SINFUL!! lol!
Sadly, we didn't get to stay in Ghirardelli long because it was time to go! Heather and I made our way to the bus stop just as a bus was pulling away! UH OH!!!!
We waited and waited for a good 20 minutes until finally another bus pulled up. We made our way over to the P.I. side of DTD and apparently our driver was getting off of work and they were changing drivers. Well, this new driver got on the bus, took his SWEET PRECIOUS TIME getting all of his stuff together and we sat for another good ten minutes or so. We were so anxious and mad that finally Heather went and told him our dilemma! It was already like 1:05 p.m. by this point and we had to be at our Magical Express bus stop by 1:15 p.m. He abruptly and rudely told Heather that he could NOT speed in the bus! HELLO!!! That's NOT what she was asking you to do! She wants you to QUIT taking your precious time and get us to our hotel!!! Just GO already! Ugh. Finally, we left and arrived at our hotel at 1:15 p.m.!!! JoDee and Pat were on the bus and had saved us seats.
This is us RUNNING through the resort to get to the bus stop!!!! lol!
As we arrived to the bus and told the bell hop to get our luggage, we were told by the bus driver that the bus was FULL and there was no room for us! Heather knew better because JoDee and Pat were saving us seats! She was like, "OH NO! We are supposed to be on the 1:15 p.m. bus! We ARE getting on this bus!"
He let us on!!
WHEW!! We were EXHASUTED from running!!! lol!
Yay for JoDee and Pat saving us seats!!!
We of course arrived at the airport like 2 hours before our plane time. The line at Southwest to check in your luggage was MASSIVE!!!! Pat somehow saw the guy at curbside with no line and waved us over to get our luggage there! THANK YOU Southwest curbside guy!!! lol! We tipped him generously and then went to wait on our planes!
Sadly, the time had come to say goodbye and go our separate ways!
I had SUCH a wonderful trip and REALLY enjoyed meeting up with everyone! I can't wait till we do this again!!! I had such a great time with everyone!
We made it safely to New Orleans and then I made it back home in one piece! Pixie was overjoyed to see me! lol!
Here's Jason the next day enjoying his Disney treat!
That's all until next year!!! Thanks for reading along!!
