I took the monorail back to the TTC and wandered down the ramp towards the shuttle buses.
Of course, since I cant do anything without pictures, heres my Farewell Montage featuring all the character silhouettes marching out
Mickey
Mickey with Minnie
Which means Pluto cant be too far behind
Donald is next
With Daisy right next to him of course
And you cant forget Goofy
Then theres Pooh with Piglet
With Tigger bouncing close behind
And good ol Eeyore is bringing up the rear
After a quick stop in the TTC gift shop so I could buy a 2009 magnet, I finally made my way to the BVS bus.
I then proceeded to ride to most of the other parks picking up passengers - gotta love that off-site shuttle service.
After almost
an hour on the bus, I finally arrived home in time to catch the Mears Shuttle to the airport.
That bus ride was more or less uneventful.
I got through security with plenty of time before my flight so I grabbed some dinner at the food court and proceeded to explore the airport.
They have everything from SeaWorld stores to Kennedy Center souvenirs.
And, of course, some friendly and familiar characters are scattered around.
Spider-Man is watching you from one side of the hallway to make sure you stay in line.
And then, outside the Earport Gift Shop, is Mickeys final farewell
And with that I hopped my flight and headed home ending my 1st solo trip to Walt Disney World.
In retrospect, solo touring is great you get to ride the rides you want without restrictions.
There are no bathroom stops, snack stops, water breaks, or anything else that will slow you down unless you, of course, want to.
There is no limitation to where you can go (I still cant believe I looped Epcot twice and even threw in a jaunt to the Beach Club in one day).
You can spend time where you want to exploring all the little details and taking in all your surroundings without having to explain anything.
Its very liberating.
But I used it more as a scouting mission noting everything I wanted the kids to see on our next visit.
It allowed me to try all the new stuff out so I can accurately explain it and prepare them for it.
And the pics and video served as a preview to the great fun they would have.
So, would I do it again? In a heartbeat. But only once in a while.
The Family Experience definitely makes the vacation more worthwhile.
After all, theres nothing greater than seeing your child light up when...
he first glimpses the Mouse and takes a spin Buzz Lightyear or...
she first sees the Castle along with her favorite princess or...
Lightning McQueen roars his engine for the first time.
Speaking of which, its time to move on.
And with that, its time for me to start loading more pictures.
Next up our Halloween 2009 Trip Report.
Yes, we hit Mickeys Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and yes, the entire family went in costume!
And we also caught some new attractions that are no longer around.
And now I have 6 months left before our next trip to Walt Disney World in which to start and finish this report.
So follow me as the rest of the family (and some guests) head back to the World in:
The Pirates 
and the Frog 
(Halloween 2009)
Dawn and
I haven't been to Disney for about 15 years, and between you and Mike doing all the necessary planning and reservations for the troupe has made this the easiest pre-vacation experience I think I've ever dealt with. 
It's my pleasure! 
the ones you took from on top of the train station we have never explored up there before .
