Cast:
Alaine (aka Lainy67) - 34, the planner, mother, wife, and scribe.
Frank - 36, the hubby, father, and primary photographer.
Sarah - 10, the eldest daughter, and in Disney terms - an adult
Samee - 3, the youngest daughter, and hyperness personified.
OMG... it is time to get up. Got up and cleaned. Literally dragged Samee up and to the bus stop and for the first time WDW transportation was AWFUL. The MK bus took forever (2 Epcot busses, 2 AK busses, and a bus for TL and MGM came and went before a MK bus got anywhere near us - 25 minutes later). Then we got to MK and Frank and Samee ran to the monorail. Sarah and I trailed and then Sarah said she had to go NOW. So we detoured through security at MK. The Walkie Talkies came in handy. Frank and Samee hopped the monorail as we were cutting it close. Oh No. His monorail was stuck in the Contemporary for about 15 minutes. So he was late for the PS. We waited for the next monorail and caught it 20 minutes after we got to the station. What is going on?
Made it to Park Faire just as the buzzer thing that Frank had received (10 minutes late) went off (9:30). PHEW!
This was the best character meal of the trip. Pooh, Tigger, Aladdin, and Alice came to our table. Mary Poppins and the Mad Hatter were in the lobby. Let me say this... the Mad Hatter was the best character we saw all week. He was awesome. He sat down at one point in Franks seat. It was great.
We took a cab back to Riverside and headed to the room. WHAT IS THAT SMELL??????? It reeked. Started packaing and Sarah started to put her backpack stuff together. Found the smell. After a week chocolate milk tends to do that and I guess it had enough of being neglected and decided to explode in her backpack while we were gone that morning. Guess what Sarah's big souvenir was going to be!!!!
They picked up our bags and we let them know they would have to do a severe cleaning of the bed (where the backpack was when we discovered it). We hopped over to DTD for last minute shopping. We are very close to implosion. All tired. All had feet complaints, etc.... Samee was bad. She did not want shoes on at all. We ate icecream at Ghiradelli. Then to World of Disney.
5 t shirts, a toddler dress, underwear for a 3 year old, a Tink hat for me (the only one that didn't get a hat earlier in the week), another pin, a backpack and a dolly later we headed out. Frank had taken Samee to play in the water, so she was soaked. Grabbed the bus back to POR, and got there about 10 minutes before our driver was going to pick us up. He was there waiting. Uh.... Ok.. We rushed to change Samee, and get our stuff out of hock, grab last minute pamphlets for the scrapbook, guess we won't get any last minute drinks and to the airport. Check in went smooth, although I thought we were done with lines when we left Disney Property. Uh No. Flight home went smooth. Stopped at Wendy's on the drive home from the airport and home a little after 8 pm central time. Now Samee is awake and wants to play. UGH.
