Finally the weather gave a little and the kids jumped in the pool. It was around 68 and 74 by midafternoon. Had breakfast in POFQ floatworks, made it simple knowing we wanted to eat a big lunch to hold us over for our dinner time flight out.
Did bagels and cinnamon rolls. Think I spent 12.00.

Went to Down town disney

I was a bit disappointed that all of the wonderful things i saw at the other parks were not availible here. I had planned on getting most of our souvies here so i wouldnt have to lug things around the parks, my bad live and learn.

Went to make potatoes heads!! Had so much fun making these, we squeezed as many things into their little behinds as we possibly could, the boxes were busting at the seams :) They had the colored hot chocolate and were doing samples, i ended up picking up some. I thought it was great but my two 4 yr olds at home didnt end up like it. So its all mine <eg>
Realized at the last minute that there were not any places to eat listed on the back of the Q&C vouchers for DTD. So I made the last minute choice of going into Rainforest. This place is very pricely as I came to find out. So we did get the volcano. I figured if we were going to eat expensive burgers we should at least get the desert. :earboy2:
I dropped another 100.00 in this place for 2 adults and 2 kids to eat burgers, so beware.
The bus going back to POFQ stops all over the place so the ride back was a lot longer and that needs to be figured in if your going to need to get back for something. Fortunatly im anal about time and left early as to not miss tiffany town car picking us up.
Same driver as before, and no the car had not been cleaned.
Said goodbye to WDW... very depressing :guilty: I so wish this trip had been longer.

Made it to airport just as they were closing the roads down for some VIP to get to the airport. At least thast what the driver said the police were closing them for. Hung around airport for 2 hours waiting for flight. Took off on time, the flight was turbulant though and this freaked me out. Did arrive ontime.
Had trouble getting the cab company i wanted to get us to get home, so i grabbed one hanging around in airport. This guy smelled so foul, i cant express to you how bad. And to think i ever even complained about the town car company when this Boston cab litterally had so much dirt on the wondows i couldnt see the road at all. Then again i wasnt paying 95.00 for the cab and i was for tiffany town car.

I missed my two munchkins here at home and was so happy to be getting back to them.

All in all the trip was GREAT! I know now some of the things i would change.
Have breakfast in the room
not make so many damn PS seating with characters
will not use tiffany town car again
be patient with counter service at these places as they arent in a rush so why should i be
only buy souvi refillable mugs if im staying longer than a few days and will actually spend time at the hotel
stay away from rainforest unless im willing to pay that much for a buger
buy my souvies when i see them instead of putting it off
never again PS hoop dee doo so late at night
Sci-Fi isnt in my vocabulary anymore

Things i will definatly do again
Stay at POFQ! So quiet and comfy :cloud9: , staff extremely pleasant worth every penny
see hoop dee doo
use Q&C vouchers
Spend more time at Epcot
Use delivery service to get souvies to room
bring an extra suitcase for souvies as mine was stuffed to the max
Make trip longer! :teleport:


I wasnt the best tipper this trip and im ashamed to say that. Normaly I tip beyond the norm, this time however i was taken back by the prices of meals and did not expect such mediocore food and service. I can not think of even one waitstaff person that was very enjoyable or tried very hard, i felt to rushed everyplace i went to eat. The housekeeping got tipped average and i clean the room before they come anyway, and the town car driver got tipped the standard on departure, and a bit more on arrival since he waited for us.

Hope everyones trips go well and would love to hear reports.

I enjoyed reading you trip report! I just wanted to add that there is a quick boat ride from POFG to DTD. It is much quicker than the bus. I'm glad you had a nice time with your children! Welcome back!
 
Isn't going home horrible? Oh, and I know all about Boston cabs. Worse than New York cabbies in my opinion.
