It was now nearing 9am and we desperately wanted to get some more rides on TT done as today was our last park day, so after lots of hugs we said goodbye to the DisneyLandMama family vowing we would meet again. T phoned LL to find they were on IASW so we waited a few minutes so we could say bye to them too.

I've got Jo in my heart said:
We made our way out of MK and you know what we weren’t sad at all, we had spent so much time here in the last 2 weeks, had many happy memories and we knew we’d be back one day, plus Epcot was calling :rotfl:
It's not that bad when you know you're going to another park ... bet you felt bad after leaving Epcot tho.
 
The pictures of the girls with Ellie are adorable. How sweet that they became good friends.
Thanks Lessa they really did get on well together it was so cute :goodvibes

When is IASW getting closed down? It was just renovated a year or so ago. Are they bottling up the water once again to sell??
Whoops just reread it and it's IASW in DL so I will have to suffer it again :rotfl2:

Well darn those DISers making you get up after a night of partying. Only you weren't hungover, were you. Guess you showed them!
I did :rotfl2:

Good thing for your girls. Kids can really help you wake up. I know this for a fact ... :rolleyes:
:rotfl2:

That must have been funny. But it really should have been open. Bakeries are supposed to open early!
They are aren't they :rotfl2:

Still from last night?? :laughing:
Maybe :rotfl2:

Aww ... how cute!
:cutie:

Love all the characters! We have never done this. Kids will probably not be as little next time ... :guilty:
No they won't you're never too old :thumbsup2

Or question him about his expensive balls, golf balls.
:rotfl2:

You're blaming it on Evan??? Good one.
Most definitely, whatever T said in her TR blaming it on me!!!!

This is a great pic!
Thanks

Upon leaving the MK we caught the monorail to the TTC then to Epcot, we just managed jump on one that was about to leave so we were at Epcot pretty quickly.

First stop was to get TT FP’s we then asked the girls if they were happy to do the single rider line, which they were, so within a few minutes we were at the front of the queue. The CM working here was a complete pain in the neck though, he deliberately split the single riders into completely different cars, I know, I know it was a single rider line and in no way did we expect to sit together but when there are 4 of you you expect to have at least 2 of you in the same car. He purposely put people the furthest cars away from each other :confused: Oh well it didn’t matter we had loads of fun as usual although you can’t be silly when there are others in the car can you :rotfl2:

We headed over to Soarin and the FP time was already too late in the day for us so we jumped into the normal line, it was actually pretty fun playing the games and only took 20 minutes. Today’s ride was slightly different though as we all noticed the smells were a bit off, the pine forest smelt of orange and visa versa :rotfl: We still loved it though :goodvibes

Off back to TT and this time all together :thumbsup2 On the way out we let the girls explore the cars a bit, the American cars are quite different to ours, for a start they’re much larger!!!!


On our way out I spotted Elton, yeah I know Elton :lmao: Now if it wasn’t for my American DIS friends I would never have know who he was and for those of you that don’t he’s the Dream Team CM who is on the US adverts. Well he was escorting some lucky guests into TT via the back door, wonder if that was all they won or if it was part of a big prize :confused3

We grabbed a bite to eat at EU, I think we had the normal chicken strips and burgers to share, MouseGear was just opposite and we still had my nephew to buy for so in we went. After lots of browsing we bought Oliver a lovely cuddly Mickey Mouse and a MM plate and cutlery set. The girls bought a few bits and I treated myself to 2 fridge magnets, yep I pushed the boat out didn’t I? :rotfl2:

The time had come to leave Epcot for the final time, but honestly there were no tears, I really think having the 2 weeks there and knowing we will definitely be back stops you from being upset, or maybe I’m just hard and have no feelings :rotfl:

A long swim and laundry was what was planned for this afternoon, I know we’re going home tomorrow but I worked out that to get the laundry done now would save so much work once home also it really didn’t cost very much!

The girls went off to refill the mugs whilst David and I chilled (Oh and did laundry :lmao:) in the pool. Now the most bizarre thing happened, a man probably about 60 walked up to the pool, he had obviously just arrived, well he started doing handstands at the side of the pool, he must have decided he didn’t like that area so went to a grassy area the other side of the pool and did a few handstands again. He then flipped over into the crab position and stayed like that for ages :confused: David and I just kept looking at each other trying not to laugh too much. Well it didn’t stop there, the man moved to the pool, he was still dressed in normal shorts not swim ones and didn’t have a towel, he stood right on the edge of the pool backwards and did a back flip :eek: So much for the no diving signs, I suppose it didn’t say anything about back flips :rotfl2: He repeated this about 3 or 4 times before shaking himself off and leaving!!!! Literally a few minutes later the girls returned with the mugs and they really didn’t believe us :rotfl:

We had a lovely lazy couple of hours swimming and playing, fitting in the laundry too! At one point I took a load of laundry back to the room and totally went to the wrong room, I only went up one flight of stairs instead of 2, I wondered why my key wouldn’t work :rotfl2:

All rested we showered and we were soon off to MGM, this time though we made sure we’d packed the ponchos!!!! We had an ADR at 50’s PT and were meeting S’Late and her family, we were originally booked at Teppanyaki which was still shut so we were lucky to get this although we were now a table for 4 and a table for 5 we hoped we’d be able to dine together!

We were pretty early arriving so tried again for the GMR but once again the queue was just way too long, we obviously weren’t meant to ride it this trip! So what to do, what to do? Oh why don’t we just do a bit more browsing, as we wandered, buying a few golfing bits, the girls were asked if they’d like to be princesses for the day, they got to write a note to their favourite princess and got stickers and a cardboard crown :)

Last day here!
 
It was nearly time for our ADR so we made our way to 50’s and checked in well half checked in anyway, S’Late wasn’t there yet and the place was packed so we just kind of hung around, this place really does look like the old US comedies I used to watch as a kid, so cool!

A little while later S’Late her DH and children turn up and we get shown to our table which was for 9 :yay: They’d managed to sit us all together :thumbsup2 Our waitress was nice, not too strict which actually was pretty good, well I thought so anyway!

I ordered the strawberry milkshake which was absolutely gorgeous, so thick and really yummy, it was huge too. For appetiser I had the onion rings which were enormous but I did get some help eating them :lmao: For main course I ordered the pot roast, this was the first time I’d ever had it and OMG the meat was beautiful so tender but the veggies on top were so hard :eek:

At some point during the meal poor Jess spilt her drink and she was actually terrified of being told off that she switched seats with David, now she loved the idea of 50’s and didn’t mind deliberately getting told off actually being told off was another matter!

Us adults hadn’t finished all our meals (well they were huge) so when our waitress saw she fed us :eek: It was funny though, David was first and she even made the choo choo noises then S’Late’s turn followed by me. She really loaded the fork up including those yucky veg :scared1: But it was all good fun.

The dessert menu here is in a viewfinder, you know those toy camera’s that you hold up to the light which we had as kids. I chose the angel cake, again never had it, and it was nice but I was so stuffed with the other courses that I didn’t eat much.

699.jpg


During the meal S’Late’s DD and Ellie became firm friends she even gave Ell’s a bracelet, which I think she’d made, poor old Jess got stuck with the boys though and I think she thought they were a bit too silly for her, boys hey, hope she stays that way for a while yet :rotfl2: I think we were a bit of a disappointment to S’Late’s DH as we weren’t into Star Trek and Monty Python but we found other things to chat about!

The heavens had opened again but we were prepared and after lots of hugs we braved the rain and found the bus home, we had been so lucky with the weather this trip but it was still a bit sad leaving our final park on our final day dodging the puddles!
 
A little while later S’Late her DH and children turn up and we get shown to our table which was for 9 :yay: They’d managed to sit us all together :thumbsup2 Our waitress was nice, not too strict which actually was pretty good, well I thought so anyway!
Looking forward to hearing about your next DIS meet.
 
Aw, Jo. I can't believe you're almost finished:sad2: What a great attitude you all have leaving the parks. I always whine and cry, even if I know I'll be going back in a month.

We did 50's once and our waitress nearly ignored us. My FIL even tried lying about washing his hands...saying that the soap in the bathroom was green instead of white, but she didn't care. I was secretly hoping he'd get yelled at.:rotfl2:
 
Have a holly Jo-lly Christmas! said:

No tears? But then again you were on to yet ANOTHER park!
