Let Devon sleep late. I went to get coffee and call the airlines to make sure my flight status for the next day hadn't changed.
Back to wake Devon I decided we needed to get out and go on that boat trip we had planned on doing. We had the time so we got rolling. We drove out to Boggy Creek Air Boat Rides. Enjoyed the half hour ride. The driver apologized for not seeing any gators just turtles. I didn't care, I have seen them before, I just wanted to enjoy the fast boat ride. It was fun and worth the time and Devon liked it too.
We left to do another tradition-shop on 192 at the Shell World. I knew the girls would love some more necklaces. Devon picked a sharks tooth one and so total I got 2 shells, 5 necklaces and 2 bracelets for 17$. We feel it's good to support small businesses too you know. On this highway back to WDW we saw alot of broken in glass signs from the hurricanes. Still alot of a mess. So you know the sign businesses in Orlando are working overtime!!
We needed to use up our last 2 Q+C vouchers so it was onto Pepper Market again. We chose the steak again and they only bring out the baked potatoes for dinner so we had the fries which were really good too. EMERGENCY STOP! The week finally has caught up to Devon. I had been preaching to him all week about drinking lots of water. He hates the resort tap water and only sipped here and there. Now just as we were digging into our appetizers of nachos, he turns green. I send him to the bathroom in case he needs to lose his cookies. He takes along his large glass of water. After about 45-60 minutes he finally returns. I was getting paranoid by now. He arrives all happy and looking better!!
He chugged his whole glass of water and waited just in case and it made him feel better. Listen to your mother. 
Have we learned a lesson here? 
Well I enjoyed the nachos, half the dinner and we look the cheese cake to go. They let us have the nachos with the voucher and we were told "no" earlier that week on the appetizer issue, so who knows on that policy. The nachos also had lettuce and tomato and guacamole, which I love. The cashier just told me to sign it and said thank you. We walked around the resort and decided we would love to stay here. Viewed the pool area and Devon got fresh air and his 2nd wind.
Drove back to Pop Century to have some down time. Devon was all of a sudden famished. He wolfed down my cheese cake. He didn't even know he liked cheese cake!
We relaxed by the pool and I tried to catch some rays.
SIDE NOTE: I forgot to mention yesterday at the MK everyone was in a buzz. They were celebrating the opening of the Stitch ride and he TPed the castle. It was funny to see. There were "Stitch wanted" posters all over the park and my son thought this was the greatest! He also looked for CM's to pin trade with and left with some great Stitch pins! That's why STITCH RULES!
Back to the pool side. Leaving refreshed we hit the Winter Summerland mini-golf courses. Had a good time. These courses were quick and easy.
Decided to spend our last night in DTD and then use our last voucher at Beaches and Cream. Drove to DTD and Devon pin traded while I shopped. Oh, to have a million dollars. You know, to buy a ton of cute things I don't need!! $$$$ Insert money amount here______!!
On our drive to the Yacht Club we stopped to fill up gas. I only used 12$ worth and the price was the same as MN. $1.92 a gallon. It was worth having our own car. Liked the bit of extra freedom to go out of the "World".
Enjoyed another meal at Beaches and Cream. Yummy greasy burgers and lemonade. This time we split the Brownie Mud Slide. Did more damage to this baby but not able to finish it this time either.
I love this cute place.
Drove back to the resort to pack.....how depressing is that?
I told Devon he could only watch TV while packing if he helped! Yes well...... Somehow we finished up and I did the rest of the paper work. Devon watched TV and waited in the room incase Dad called. I went for a walk around the resort to take pictures. This place is huge. I was good and tired when I returned and reminded Devon the plane WOULD leave without us if we weren't there.
One last good night!
I know we could just send for the rest of the family and STAY!! Devon was the one that said he didn't want to go home, it's usually me that says that.
Nighty night!
