Mickey and Minnie called bright and early. There were bags to pack, showers to take and mugs to be refilled. Such a sad turn of events
packing makes leaving so real!! I told Mickey and Minnie that I would be back soon and Greg starts laughing
.hysterically. Now why would I talk to wake up call? I am sure some of you have to understand this!! Please tell me I am not the only one who does this
OK we are ready for Epcot
.out the door we go!
We catch the bus and there is that sad last day cloud looming over my head!!! But I plan on enjoying Epcot to the fullest .Test Track first!! The ride is fabulous and Greg and I realize just how old we are getting. We are both actually queasy. No Mission Space for us!!! After our thrilling ride we head toward the bakery by the fountain. The food there is fabulous!! Greg has his frozen coffee and a cheese Danish and I have hot chocolate and some pecan cinnamon Danish thing!! YUMMY!!! And the hot chocolate was quite yummy as it really was a bit on the brisk side that morning.
After breakfast, we decide to go and live with the land. Our driver was great! He showed me a ton of hidden Mickeys all throughout the ride. Make sure to look for the Mickey form that is in a Cinderella Pumpkin .it is going to be one very cool pumpkin once it is grown!! Now our tummies are settled and we realize we have not yet shopped!!
So off to Mouse Gears to pick up some Mouse Ears for Gregs coworkers and a puppy present. Greg picks the very nice Mickey bed. I think Barkley is pleased. We stuff all of our goodies in my basket and are off to the World Showcase. This is our last chance to eat around the world! And eat we did!!
First stop, Mexico for a kids meal. We each get a taco, chips and a coke. Just the right size!! And yummy too. Of course Norway is next on the agenda and strawberry rice cream is just too good to pass by. Greg and I share one, but Greg seems to get the better part of the portion. If the turkey leg cart would have been open, I would have had one but alas, it does not open until 12:30 and our time is now strictly budgeted!!! Off to France to share a crepe and then we stop at the UK to pick up some yummy chocolate for the trip home! I am a total stress eater can you see my stress level??? Anyway, one last look around and we are headed for our bus. A big tear rolls down my face and Greg smiles. Yes, I do this every single time!!! We are on our way back to get our stuff and head for home.
We get back to POP and all are bags are on a nice big luggage cart. Our driver is scheduled to pick us up in a half hour. He is early and the reality really hits me vacation is over!!! I do have to give Henry (I think that was his name) a huge thanks!! He is a great guy. He is capable of putting many of us knowledgeable DISers to shame with his knowledge of Disney. His dad was a carpenter that helped to build the castle! What a wonderful story!! Of course Greg was giggling with delight that someone finally knew more about the Mouse than me!! He giggled like a school girl as he watched my face which was mesmerized by Henrys utter knowledge. In no time at all, we were at the airport!! I swear this was the shortest trip to the airport ever!!
On the plane, I meet the nicest lady who would love to take her kids to Disney but has no idea what to do .another short ride and we are home!!!
This was a great trip. The firsts were the best!!! I would highly recommend Pop Century if you are a party of 2 or 3 ..any more than that it might get pretty crowded!! If there was ever a thought of needed and using an ECV .do it!! Walker Mobility is the best!!!! Early Entry dont miss it!!! Wishes .OMG!! Unbelievable! Cant wait to start planning the next trip and catching up on all the things we missed this time around!!!!!!!!

DD will be surprised that they make Mickey beds for dogs
--she'll probably want one for our cat now although she probably would'nt even sleep in it
Thanks again for your great highlights and fun spent with Mickey!!
