WELCOME Backstage Gal!!!!
Thanks for reading my TR! Yes, the kind people were all around...I love DISNEY!!! Keep on reading for the last day and happy stuff!

Yes, thankfully he survived "dinner." Ha! And I totally agree. That is what I said in my letter to Disney. They called me on the phone (a nice lady named Alana from Disney Corporate offices) and said that they were so sorry that we had such a rough time, And that they had passed the letter along to the CMs, Lodgekeeping, Chef at Narcoossee's, nurse at first aid, etc. and their supervisors so that they could be recognized. Disney ROCKS!

[Muffinygood]

Hey, update in seconds!

 

[Muffinygood]

Hi everyone! This is our last day at Disney World. This is so sad. But, we’ll just have to make it a good day to remember.

We’ve woken up, had breakfast and are watching cartoons. I think I enjoyed our times in the room when we were snuggling and watching tv almost as much as when we were in the parks. It’s rare that we have so much together time, just the two of us.

After speaking with the Lodgekeeping people and securing our room until 3:30 pm that day, I tell N that I don’t know what I’ll be able to do today but I am feeling way better than I was last night. He seems good with the that. He’s very easily pleased and I don’t remember him saying one way or the other whether he was worried it would be a boring day. At around 10 am I decide that I can definitely handle taking N down to the pool. I felt a little guilty doing this because I had just told Lodgekeeping that I needed the room because I was sick. I am sick, but it’s our last day there and I don’t want to tell N he can’t swim on his last day.

I stake out a shady spot and bring my camera with me. He’s so sweet, doesn’t mind me sitting this out, just swims around and has fun.

The pool was practically deserted. This one family came down while we were there but that was pretty much it. Their little girl and N went down the slide together a bunch of times. She was so cute. She just kept going down the slide and then she’d yell, “THAT WAS AWESOME!” So funny!

The only other thing of note that happened at the pool, besides that I drank two more ginger ales, was that there was a girl there around 12 or 13 who was clearly mentally impaired in some way. She was verbal but very, very limited. She seemed to be alone and the one other family that was there was not hers. She kept coming up to me and pointing at the pool and then grabbing my arm and pulling me. She had a swimsuit on and was obviously dressed for swimming but I couldn’t imagine that she was there alone. I looked around the pool area (I did this quickly since I didn’t want to leave N in the pool unsupervised even if there was a lifeguard there) but never saw anyone who seemed to be missing her. I told her that if she’d sit down I would get the lifeguard. She could not communicate with me. She mostly grunted when she pointed at the pool. I got up to get a lifeguard and when I came back she was gone. Well, I told him and he said he’d watch for her. As far as I know, she was fine. But, the whole thing was weird. And it bothered me for hours later. I did eventually (MUCH LATER) pass her and a woman in the hallway and the woman was barely listening to her while she was trying to tell the woman something. I don’t know if she “belonged with them” or was just trying to get someone else’s attention. Again, it pretty much bugged me the entire day. It was very odd.

Anyway, the pool was lovely. I tried my best to stay out of the sun and keep hydrated. N swam around and the ducks kept coming in for a landing in the pool so he was thrilled. The ducks there are amazing. They would land in the pool when it was FILLED with kids yelling and splashing. Clearly they were Disney Ducks!

N really enjoyed visiting the hot tub while we were at the pool area. They have two at this resort, one that is SCARY hot and one that is just right. We tried our toes in the SCARY hot one. NO way. TOO hot. Then N settled into the hot tub that was just right. I felt a little weird standing there talking to him (on the sidelines) while he was in the hot tub but oh well. I just knew that swimming, in the sun, was NOT in the cards for me. I was feeling very paranoid that I’d get heatstroke again.

Here is a short video of N just enjoying the pool and especially the streak that enters the pool from that cool little geyser in the lobby. That couple next to him were so quiet. They never said a word the whole two hours we were at the pool and they were inches from us the whole time.. Maybe they were newlyweds and they only had eyes for each other....?


The pool was lovely but I was starting to get a bit warm as there isn’t really anyplace to hide from the sun in that courtyard from about 11 am to 2 pm. I highly recommend avoiding it unless you LOVE the sun and can’t get enough. Like most large resorts the deck chairs that had shade (not very many) had towels “saving” them from the moment the pool opened till we left. No one was ever actually IN those chairs but I just felt weird moving stuff even so.
N proclaims this pool to be the best one he’s been to. And definitely the best waterslide too!

We grab our things and head out of the pool area for the last time. As we cross the small bridge to go back inside a woman and her elderly mother are taking photos of each other. I ask them if they’d like one together. They are so happy! They offer to take one of us. This is an AWFUL picture of me. I look terrible, but considering the fact that I’ve lived through such an awful night, I guess that’s ok. You guys will just have to know that I usually look A LITTLE bit better than this. N is adorable as usual though and the hotel looks good too. So, focus on them ok?

This was a great start to our last day. We grab lunch inside at the Roaring Forks, otherwise known as “the only restaurant we ate in”, and head upstairs for a shower for N and a lie down for me. I’m feeling ok but not ready to run a marathon. N gets the PBJ Uncrustables, grapes, apple juice, and a cookie. He is thrilled! I eat half his grapes, some crackers and a cup of tea. I took the funniest picture of N eating his lunch, in bed, with not a stitch of clothing on. He immediately demanded that I delete it. I lied and said I did. BUT, I did not. I will not post it, but I love this picture (he’s covered up people!) and think it totally sums up our trip. If you can’t eat grapes, in bed, naked, watching Disney Cartoons on your surprise Bday trip, When Can You?

Tune in next time for our next adventure on “THE LAST DAY.”


Oh, but first, a bonus video!!! That cute little girl from the pool!

OK, clearly I meant STREAM. Duh. Sorry.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Sounds like you and N had a nice afternoon at the pool. Don't you just love that the ducks will just swim along with you. That was one of our favourite things from the hotel.

 

[dismom9761]

I am soo glad you were feeling better. That pool does look like fun.

"If you can’t eat grapes, in bed, naked, watching Disney Cartoons on your surprise Bday trip, When Can You?"

 

[scottny]

It sounds like a great day relaxing. Glad to see you were feeling better and could enjoy some more time with N.

As for the ducks swimming I think I would be OK but if u read my report and know Biff from it he would go into cardiac arrest. He is deathly afraid of birds. Would be funny to see. At POR we never saw any ducks in the pool.

Great update. The pool looks nice where the geyser comes down into it.

 

[cmp1111]

Sounds like a LOVELY pool day!

 

[jennieb]

I just found your TR and I'm enjoying it so far. Sorry to hear how sick you were.

Awesome surprise for a birthday.
