DAY 8 will be Friday December 11th, which also happens to be the last day we'll be spending with our parents. It is also the morning we'll have to check out of our 3 bedroom suite at Bonnet Creek and move to a 1 bedroom.
Up first is an early breakfast at Chef Mickey's! I'm very excited about this, as it will be my first ever character meal. Originally, I wanted this breakfast to get a picture with Mickey without having to wait in line. But when I realized he will be dressed up for the Christmas party, in his Christmas sweater at AK, and available (maybe) for the Visa Meet & Greet, it more became about the character breakfast since it looks like I'll be standing in line for Mickey several times on this vacation!
After breakfast, we'll hopefully take the monorail to the MK (if we are moving early enough in the morning to park at TTC instead of at the Contemporary). We'll spend the morning there doing anything we want. But since it's a night with
MVMCP, we probably won't stay past early afternoon. After that, we are leaving it up to our parents where they want to go since it's their last day. But they are thinking they may want to start driving early that evening and possibly stop overnight before getting back home Saturday morning. If they decide to call it quits early, DH and I will likely head to whatever park we are in the mood for. We may possibly head back to DTD that night for another ride on Characters in Flight at night, do some more shopping, and grab dinner.
Saturday December 12th is
DAY 9! Before heading to a park, we'll need to catch a shuttle to the TTC from our hotel and make our way to Disney's Car Care Center to pick up our rental car. After that, we hit the road for our last Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure day! I'm thinking we'll have accomplished everything at both parks on our previous day, so this will be a day to ride our favorites over and over again. I think we'll probably have dinner at a CS in the parks, or we may eat at City Walk, probably at The Hard Rock. I love that place!
After the parks, since they close pretty early, we may stop on our way back to the resort for a game of mini-golf at Pirate's Cove Adventure golf. Or if we feel like our wallet is going to cry in pain from opening it again, we may just play mini-golf at the resort, where I think it's free? And relax in the lazy river if it isn't too cold. I'm sure we'll probably need it by then!
Friday I'll post about our last two days.
But yay, only
8 MORE DAYS!!
