Day 4 ~ October 5, 2009 ~ Departure Day 
We had to get up super early this morning. We had an ADR at the Crystal Palace for 8:05. Not only that, but we were checking out too, so we had to get up early enough to bring our bags to the Custom House so we could do our Airline Check-In and drop our carry-on bags with Bell Services.
Normally, this isn't too bad but at CBR it's a little more of a PITA because the Custom House is a seperate building and you cant' really want to it like you can to the food court/gift shop area. There IS an internal bus that goes around but still...ugh!
We packed our stuff up the night before so we were ready to go bright and early! I knew we couldn't take our luggage on the internal bus so I called bell services to have them pick up our luggage for us at 7am. The BEST part was that we got to ride with the guy to the Custom House so we didnt' have to go to the bus stop after all! MUCH quicker this way!
The van we rode in...
The empty chec-in desk area...
Random pic of the resort...(this is what Tom does while I take care of busines) Notice how dark it is outside! TOO EARLY!
I was very nervous about the ME pick-up time because, even though this was only a 3-night trip, it was actually 2 reservations (because of the discounts, did I tell you I don't paid $89 a NIGHT, BTW!!) So because it was 2 reservations, they did NOT have a pick-up time so I had to call. They are so casual about stuff on the phone, don't they know I'm anal and want them to assure me at least 3 times that I won't miss my flight?! There's always something for me to worry about so this was it this morning.... Before you let the suspense get to you, I will say this was not an issue and the time the woman gave me on the phone was the time the bus came and off we went to the airport....but I'm getting ahead of myself! We have a whole day of MK ahead of us!
She man who brought us over to the Custom House in the van pointed us in the direction of the closest bus stop, which was Barbados. So after we checked our bags, we headed over there to wait for the bus to the MK.
Here I am about to get my bag checked for the last time! It's so cool how empty it is around the MK gates at 7:45, when the park doesn't open until 9!
Some more random MK pics!
