How We Fell in Love with WDW - Day 15 - Home to our tiny princess

[torsie24]

Mickey and Stitch woke us up for the final time, and we had an hour or so to finish packing and eat our remaining bagels/snacks before we had to say goodbye to AKL for 17 months.

We enjoyed the view one last time:

And arranged our leftover twinkie and tootsie rolls, other MNSSHP candy and towel friends for mousekeeping:

I took some final shots of the room:

We loved this wallpaper:

Then it was time to head to the lobby, and wait for the ME.

The bus arrived and we got loaded on and I took one last AKL photo:

Then we left property.

We got to the airport in good time, and had to buy some padlocks as we'd lost one on the flight out. Then we checked in and headed through customs and over to our departure gate. One last monorail ride:

We had our traditional airport lunch of a burger king, and I bought myself a DS game from a bestbuy vending machine. Very novel, and I also saved loads of money compared to paying UK prices!

Soon we were leaving Orlando, and arriving in Detroit. Lots of the passengers on our flight had to rush right off the plane as they had like a 10 minute connection to catch their flights to Amsterdam, I'm confident they got there though.

We had about 80 minutes. And once we'd found our gate we sat down and shared a quiznos sandwich and I bought us a bag of Mrs Fields cookies for the next journey.

Eventually it was our time to board, and we were leaving the USA.

Jack noticed this weird prinint error on the Delta safety guide:

The flight was uneventful. I tried to sleep but didn't really suceed, so sort of half watched Suite Life on Deck and Hannah Montana. I also played my new DS game for a while.

We finally started to descend into London, you can tell by the thick layer of clouds:

As we landed at about 8am there was no way my dad could have got round the M25 at that time to pick us up, so we took the train home. It was nice travelling out of the city at that time as opposed to into it with the crowds, and we were soon being greeted by my Dad at our closest train station (it's not far from home but no way were we dragging our huge cases!)

I was so excited to see Bella as I've never let her for so long. I think she was pleased to see us as she was straight onto our laps with lots of chatter and kisses for us.

I think from this expression she was impatient for her present:

Which we promptly gave to her:

Mmm - these smell good!

Open the packet!!

I looove them Mummy!

After her catnip fix she promptly climbed on my suitcase to ensure we didn't leave again!

(Don't tell her about the wedding!)

Thanks everyone for reading!

I'm sorry the report ended only half as detailed as it began, I took so many notes at the beginning, but stopped during the second week.

I am determined to make our wedding/disneymoon trip the best TR ever!!

So stay tuned!!!

Aww, thank you. And Bella says thank you for the compliment.

Thank you. Honestly I have huge plans for my next one! It's going to take me ages to write up but seeing as it'll be at least 5 years between the wedding trip and any subsequent WDW trips I'll have the time.

I really want to remember every detail of that trip as it'll be so special to us.

Thank you Elaine! I can't wait to write the wedding one! (Is it weird that I look forward to writing TRs?)

Thank you for the Bella compliment we love her more than people have ever loved a cat I think!

Her and Boo are asleep in the flowers outside at the moment, but when she next comes complaining to me about the heat I'll let her know she has another fan.
