Day 6 – Our last day! Magic Kingdom/Epcot
This was our last day, and like always, we decide to do two parks on the day we have the least time! Haha. However, first I had to call the luggage people, because our order for a luggage pickup never went through. They came pretty quickly, while Lou went to check out and get an itemized list (to make sure the waiter from the other night didn’t use our card for anything, which he didn’t… but I was worried).
First, we went to Magic Kingdom, and got Fastpasses for Space Mountain, to ride it a little later. After that, we did the Tomorrowland Speedway, since there was basically no line.
It was Extra Magic Hour, so we still had about 30 minutes until the rest of the park opened... we waited by the Fantasyland entrance to Liberty Square, so we could go ride Big Thunder Mountain as soon as it opened. We were pretty close to being the first train to go (I forget what train we were exactly, but it was in the first 4, I’d say.)
Then we went to press pennies, because I love them… haha.
We still had plenty of time, so we rode the Walt Disney World Railroad around the park, and back to Frontierland. I hadn’t done this for a long time, so I forgot how cool it was – it was fun! There were all these scenes dispersed throughout the track, which was neat.
Then we went through Frontierland, and Lou did his shooting game (I love how it’s only a dollar!)
We bought some (well, I bought some) pins at the Trading Post, and then it was time to get to Space Mountain to use our Fastpasses!
Only one problem… Space Mountain broke. We had a lot of trouble with the mountains this trip, didn’t we? So.. that stunk. But then we ran into an old friend as we trudged away…. I heard the squeaky voice, freaked out, and ran over… it was none other than.. PUSH! Love him.
He was talking to a kid with a pin lanyard, asking if he liked to trade pins, and would he like to trade pins with him? The kid said sure, so PUSH says “okay, wait one moment. Hey, miss! You there! Can I see your bag?” So I was like “Sure PUSH!” and put it on top of him.
He then motors away with my bag, and tries to trade it to the kid. Then he tries to sell it for 5$, and then says, “Well, I guess I’ll go open my goody bag and see what I got!” I meanwhile, am following him as he putts away, laughing helplessly… he finally gives it back, but I got plenty of photos, and I wanted so badly to see him, so I was very happy.
Lou got a hot fudge sundae (keep in mind, at 10:30 in the morning), and we started heading over to Epcot, so we could go on the Behind the Seeds tour!
We decided to go on the 12:30 (I think it was the 12:30, at least… maybe it was the 12.) tour, so we grabbed lunch at Sunshine Seasons again, which was delicious, again. We might have gone on a ride or two as well, but I forget.
Then it was time for our tour. They’re not very big tours, probably at most 10-15 people, but on our tour, it was…. the 2 of us. Haha. It was actually pretty cool, because that meant I could take as many photos as I wanted, and I wasn’t holding anyone up. We also got a whole bag of Mickey cucumbers to ourselves, and although I don’t like cucumbers, everything tastes better when it’s shaped like Mickey.
We got to set free some ladybugs:
This is some crazy fruit, I forget what it’s called, but it is supposed to be like a sweet grapefruit… it’s sold in Asian markets, I believe? It was heavy! A pomelo (aka pummelo). I just remembered.
There were a lot of Mickey shaped veggies.
Our tour guide was very nice, and I felt bad it was just the two of us, but she was great at explaining everything, and chatting about her job, since she’s a Professional Intern, which is like a step above College Programmer.
One of the projects they work on is Mickey Mini Gardens, which are like little clippings that grow into full plants – they have a whole bunch of them, and a book about what grows well in what area. I got a vanilla plant, and hopefully my mom will take care of it while I’m gone – it’s growing very nicely in my window, and it’s still in its little test tube, but I’ll need to transplant it soon. It was less than 10 dollars, and they have everything from vanilla to redwood trees – how cool is that?
Then we went to the World Showcase, I got a frog bowl for a family friend in Japan, and we got some snacks, I believe.. in Norway, maybe? Or did we get another mousse? I don’t remember, but we did something.
Then it was time to head to the airport…
Thus, our trip ended, but I knew I’d be back in fewer than 3 months.. and that time is almost here! So I’m glad I finished this… haha. I didn’t have much time left.
If the mods could keep this open for at least two weeks, I can keep you guys updated on where I end up being located at Disney! I have a blog that I’ll start posting on soon, so maybe I can post the updates there and here for a bit.
Thank you for following, sorry it took me so long to finish what was only a 6 day vacation, haha. But it beats out the 6 month trip report from last August!
on staying up until 3am! Seriously! How many people were still there when you left?
Then I wondered what the heck I'd missed because I hadn't heard about a sketchy waiter....
I got behind again. Doh!
