Does this mean we aren’t going to the mountains? ** 3/6 Link to new PTR**

What... no bird pix? :confused3 Usually there are flocks of them around those outdoor tables at Casey's!

To me there is nothing sadder than leaving MK on the final night's visit. I've been on a diet for 6 weeks now; those Casey's fries look very good.
 
What a great and non-confrontational day/evening!:thumbsup2 I can't believe it's the last day already:sad2:

I can't believe it is almost over either.

Yum! Your Casey's pics are making me hungry!

That is the first time we had been there, the food was good. I can't believe you are so close to having your baby. You are going to be such a great Mommy.

I would say the birds were asleep. :rotfl: It was close to midnight.

I always feel like holding on to a street pole and telling Bill you can't make me leave, I won't go.
 
I woke up feeling worse than ever. I got the final bill off the door and looked it over. There was a charge from 50’s that shouldn’t have been there so I knew I would have to go to the front desk. Bill said he didn’t mind just hanging out at Pop. I was happy because I just didn’t have the energy to be walking around a park that day. The rest of the family went to Epcot. The stroller went back to luggage services so Hannah would be walking today. I hoped they wouldn’t be going all over the park with her.


Bill and I stayed in the room until check out, then we went to the lobby. One of the CM’s looked over the bill and took the charge off immediately. We went to Pop food court and shared a meal. I told Bill I wanted to take a picture of him and this is the pose I got:

A salute to Jordan!! Look at that Blackberry on, he was on the internet. He is ornery. When our meal was finished we decided to go outside. I was completely bummed out that we were leaving today. We just can’t get enough of the blue Florida sky:

I wasn’t the only one that was sad we were leaving (wiping a fake tear):

We just sat and reminisced about the trip, I had to go to luggage services since everyone’s boarding pass had printed out but mine. Come to find out there was an “issue” and they couldn’t print it from Pop, they said my ticket had showed “cancelled” in their system. I panicked a little, but know that the Pop CM’s couldn’t do anything about it. By that time it was getting close to our pick up time and Josh and family were no where to be found. Just when I asked a CM about the possibility about having to take a later ME bus Bill saw them. They were worn out.

I was so happy that SouthWest was doing baggage check at Pop, we didn’t have to tote all that luggage. Bill got on ME first, then us, I sat up front. I don’t know if any of you have heard about this guy that has tons of Disney tattoos that comes to the parks a lot? His name is George Reiger and he was on our bus. I had to snap a picture:

I can’t even imagine how many Disney tattoos this guy has. We made it to MCO, then went to our gate. They printed out a boarding pass for me there. The family thought it was funny how Bill was checked out by extra security again. We were all fine, but Bill needed to be patted down again. We finally made our way to the little monorail and I saw just how tired Abbey was:

She said they did way too much at Epcot, but didn’t take one picture. Trip newbies, geez!!


The flight attendant let all of us on the plane at the same time and there were probably about 5 other medical preboards. We got situated and they started letting on “A” boarding people. There was a man that went to sit across from us. He had a carry on and opened up the overhead above him that has the flight attendant’s things, he slammed it shut, then started complaining about how many @$#^! people had been let on the plane. He was sweating profusely and cussing constantly. He then went back to the overhead above his seat and tried to move things. We heard the flight attendant say “Please sir, don’t do that”, he continued, she said “Sir stop that, please do don’t that”, he started shoving his carry on into her bags. She said louder than ever “Sir STOP IT NOW, that is my food!” He finally quit.


About that time they let on “B” boarding people. His wife and daughter were in that group. She put her stuff in an available spot and sat next to him. He continued cussing and griping about her carry on bags. She looked upset, the daughter looked extremely upset, and he was red faced and sweating. It looked like he was either drunk or high. SouthWest employees came to him and told him that he needed to calm down or he would be escorted off the plane. He was also told he would need to apologize to the flight attendant. I then heard Abbey say “he needs to apologize to the whole plane”. He said he was sorry and wouldn’t cause any problems. I really wish they would have booted him, but I saw how horrified his wife and daughter were and didn’t want to press the issue.


Everyone else boarded, we took off and all was quiet until I heard the wife say that the daughter was going to be sick. She threw up twice, thank goodness there wasn’t a smell or I think everyone on the plane would have lost it. I felt so very sorry for her.


Josh took pictures of Hannah and Abbey:

We all napped and it was time to land. It didn’t take long for them to bring us the chair and we were off to get the luggage. I took a taxi back to the hotel to get the van then we all went back to the same hotel we were at the start of the trip. We were in the next room over. Hannah said her legs were bothering her so we elevated them for her. She wanted Joshie hugs, so he gave her one:

That picture is so adorable to me.


It was time for bed, the kids were so tired, I was feeling horrible and Josh said he would lift Bill for me. That made me very happy. Abbey went to the pull out bed for them and wouldn’t work. We called downstairs and they just gave us another room, it was an accessible room but Bill had already lain down so we told Josh and Abbey to take it. Josh was amazed at how big the room was.


We all decided that we were not leaving the room until noon so we all slept as late as we could. We grabbed lunch in Nashville and were on our way. We talked about Disney the entire way home. We picked Ace up, Josh went in with us and he went crazy when he saw him. Ace didn’t care about anyone but Josh. Then he was so excited when he saw all the people in the van.


We all went to our apartment, Hannah played with Ace. Christian, Josh, and Bill played the PS3 and Abbey and I just relaxed. I downloaded the last of their pictures to my laptop and it was time to take them home. I was feeling worse and worse, but managed to get there and back. I got hugs all around and Hannah said ”we have to go back to Disney soon”, that made me laugh. I am forever grateful for the family memories we made.


Next up… my final thoughts on our family trip

Amy, you are right, I am always so sad that last day. I made a photobook for Abbey for her birthday and looking at all the pictures just made me so happy.

As the little kid says on Schoolhouse Rock...

"Darn! That's the end!"

Sorry for the plane drama - Yikes!

How awful, to be sick and to be leaving WDW on the same day! :hug: Good thing you decided to relax on your last day. So funny that Bill did the Jordan pose!!

Looking forward to your summation! (And I totally agree with Hannah.) ;)
