Hey, hello! Hi! Remember me? I didn't write the next update when I
meant to, then I was too busy... But here I am again!
And I learned something last week: writing trip reports is a useful skill. I had to write the minutes for a meeting I attended the day after I got back from this trip- in May. I didn't write those minutes until a few days ago. But with my notes, I had no problem thinking back to the meeting and wrote the minutes with no problem. Also, this shows you that I procrastinate with everything, not just TR writing.
So.... let's get this update going...
Day 8:
Oh no! This is the last full day of the trip. That makes me sad
especially when I think about how far away our next WDW trip is! But enough of the pity party, Ive been slacking on posting and Im sure any of you out there still interested in this report would like me to hurry up and finish already!
We were so tired when we got in the night before that we didnt pack like we had planned. So that meant we had to wake up pretty early and get packing so we could send our bags on to Old Key West. I had planned on doing this early enough for us to get to a park for opening. But when it was 9 and we still working on sorting out our stuff, I knew that wasnt going to happen.
Once the bags were all set, Ben headed down to check out. Going over our room charges made me want to cry; we spent so much on food and alcohol! I mean, we enjoyed every bit of it and made no attempt to cut costs so I shouldnt have been surprised, but jeesh! It was hard to take. By the time we were done going over the charges, we just had to wait a few moments for bell services to turn up for the bags. I took a few sad pictures:
Then we had to say good bye to Kidani. We stopped at the desk on the way out to ask about room charges for the day since we had checked out of one room and werent checking in to our next room till a bit later. The CM told us we wouldnt have a problem and the credit card was still on file
So with that (ahem
wrong
) information, we headed out to the bus stop to go to DHS. It was about 10 am at this point, so plenty of time left in the day!
Apparently, Ben and I had a camera off:
And admired our
Crocs:
A bus came along before too long, and we were at the park pretty quickly.
We headed right over to get FP for RnRCoaster and to ride ToT, stopping first to a few PP pics in this part of the park.
When we got in line for ToT, I had to take a picture
weve never waited at all for this and I wanted to document the fact that we were behind all of these people:
The wait was honestly not very long, and we were soon back from whatever dimension we got zapped to. And we were HUNGRY. Really hungry. It was not quite 11, so CS places werent quite open yet. We walked and walked and ended up on the New York street just too hungry to think. The park was deserted over here
I have this picture, too:
And NO clue where I took it. It had to be in that general area, but I dont remember
I was in a hunger induced trance by this point. Just in the nick of time, we wandered up to Pizza Planet as they were unlocking the door.
We each ordered a pepperoni pizza, which comes with a ceaser salad. When we handed over our KTTW card, it didnt work. Surprise! You cant charge to a room if you are not at that moment checked in to a room. This makes perfect sense, which is why we asked before we left the hotel. Somehow, the cashier managed to ring the food through and we got to eat
This was our first time there and we both enjoyed it. I have heard terrible things about the pizza, but I thought it was really good. Keep in mind that I was thisclose to dying from hunger, though
maybe it wouldnt have tasted as good if I had only been normally hungry.
I felt so much better after eating, and enjoyed our view before heading out.
This was the inspiration for our next destination: Muppets!
We love this show, always have and always will. Food, muppets, sitting, air conditioning
we were now feeling pretty good! So we headed to another of our favorite places in DHS:
We got a couple iced cappuccinos and just as Ben was about to pay, I piped up and ordered a little piece of deliciousness:
Those carrot cake cookies are friggin good! We ate our snack in our usual corner, then headed out to make another stop at Tot and RNRCoaster.
By this time we had done everything we wanted to and we were both anxious to see our new home (well, it would be home for the night, anyway). We headed out of the park, stopping in Sid Cahuengas first. This store is fun to poke around in; theres lots of weird memorabilia and movie props for sale. And lots of it is CRAZY expensive.
We were pretty excited to be heading to a new resort and found our way to our new bus stop:

I am sooo glad that I caught you before you bolted! 
I was close to leaving myself, only because I didn't see anyone I recognized. I saw 2 of the other DISers meeting up at first, but I didn't recognize them, so was not too crazy about approaching them. Boy was I relieved when I saw you and Ben and recognized you both. I think my biggest fear about the meet was that I wouldn't recognize anybody, even though I had seen pics of people on their PTRs! So glad we got to meet.
We'll be there in 20 days!!! 
Oh well.. you can share on your PTR for the next WDW trip....
