Hi, I forgot to mention before that we never made it to Cape May. We were just too exhausted to get up and go so we just skipped it. One TS credit down the drain
Alright, so we're now on the ME bus and the driver comes on over the loud speaker. You know usually they just let you listen to the Disney video that talks about the next time you come back to Disney??? Well, not this woman. She was going on and on about everything under the sun. I don't remember everything she talked about but I did jot down a few things because I was suprised at how Anti-Disney she was
She informed all of us that the ME bus drivers are NOT employed by Disney but they work for Mears! She was very adamant about this. She was making fun of how the CM's for Disney have to dress - purple polyester... Said she wouldn't be caught dead in those uniforms. I mean, I agree, but come on, lighten upa bit ok? Seriously, she had this entire speech prepared for the 30 minute drive to the airport. Up next, she proceeded to complain about the crowds at Disney. She asked the bus if anyone had ever visited around Christmas. A few people happily raised their hands (including me because that is my FAV time to visit). She then says, "well if you haven't come around Christmas, DON'T! The crowds are terrible. You'll never want to come back!" Jason was sitting a few seats in front of me with Aubrey and kept looking back. The expression on his face said it all. What is this woman's problem??? Then she started talking about Animal Kingdom and how Disney doesn't own any of the animals in the park and they don't take care of them
At this point I was about to stand up and tell her to just shut her hole and turn the video on, but I resisted. I can't remember her name but I did send an email about her to Disney when I got home. She was not the way I wanted to end my trip
Oh well. We made it safely off the annoying one's bus and into the airport. Poor Jason was our pack mule, as usual...
We checked our luggage and took a minute to let the kids play with that video water wall. Aubrey loved this...
Then we headed over to McDonald's for the kids and Au Bon Pan for us. I only remember two things about this lunch. One, Jason left the stroller outside the sitting area with all of our stuff on it... purse, camera, bag... I had to remind him that we weren't in Disney any more and that we needed to keep all of our valuables next to us
Second, there was this woman in line at Au Bon Pan. Her daughter came up to her and was eating something from McDonalds. Aparantly the father had bought the daughter lunch. The mom was furious. She started going on and on about how they had been "Disney-ing it up" all week and that it was time to get back on healthy food. She took the hamburger away from the child and gave her a bowl of lettuce. No lie! I felt so bad for this girl. Anyway, random thought. So after lunch we headed over to the terminal. The kids were so tired at this point. Check out Aubrey taking a rest...
I think I was delirious at this point. There was a bar right next to the terminal so I decided to go get Jason and I a drink. When I got to the bar, I was told that I had to have my drink there and couldn't take it to the terminal. Oh well. I ordered a bloody mary and tried to relax (Reminder: I HATE FLYING) The next thing I know, Jason is yelling at me telling me that the plane is boarding
I sucked down my $8 bloody mary (wasn't leaving that behind) and ran to the line. We made it. Whew! Insane. We were fine and all got seats together. No problemo. Then I look over and who is on the plane with us but the volleyball team from, gulp, Marshall! This was just a cruel joke. I don't really remember much else about the flight except that the kids were awake the whole time and decided to fall asleep during our descent! Here is a picture of me, after having sucked down a very strong bloody mary...
We landed safe and sound, although one of the wheels did sound like it was going to fall off! We got to the baggage carousel and Aubrey said one of the most memorable things of the trip. We were waiting for our luggage to come around and she said "Mommy, is this Peter Pan?" OMG!!! I cried. I had to tell her that we were back to reality
Our shuttle to the hotel was there waiting for us and quickly took us back to the LaQuinta. Our car was there, safe and sound waiting to take us home. At this point, I was really glad to be home. I was ready to get back and start telling everyone about our wonderful trip. The hour long drive back from NOLA to Baton Rouge was uneventful. When we got home, my house was spotless. That was so nice. We had NOTHING to eat or drink so I made a quick run to Walgreens for some milk. While I was there I found this guy...
I just had to have him. And with that, our trip was officially over. Not to fret though, I still have a ton of resort pics to post so you're not getting rid of me just yet
I'll be baaaaaack!!!!!!!!
It was worth it though!
It sure caught her attention though. I bet you have some fun stories to tell. Did you have any mascara incidents this time with Brennon? I was telling that story to someone the other day, about you telling him his mascara was going to run. It's still one of my favorite stories!!!
So here we go, headed to MCO...
I would love to go back some day. I agree that it is such an awesome location.
