So I didn't really plan what to do with our last day. We'd go to at least one park, but not sure where we'd end up until after we got through the first five days.

So here's my list of what I wanted to try and get done:
MK:
Cinnamon bun
Ice cream sandwich
Space Mountain for BF

Epcot:
Captain EO
Ellen's Energy ride for Lexmas
French Bakery

HS:
RNRC for BF

DTD:
Basin
Wolfgang Puck Express - Lunch with our last 2 QS
Goofy's Candy Co.

When we woke up we had to finish packing, our ME package was waiting telling us our pick up was for 3:15pm. We needed to check in for our flight and check our luggage. And store our carry on luggage with luggage services before heading out. So what did we accomplish???

Stay tuned....BF just got home from work, he switched his schedule a little bit so we could go to the food festival. I have pictures of that and the cats in their Halloween outfits for y'all. Elise (my little princess) figured out how to get her arms out of the shirt. She is something else!

Cats in t-shirts! Just what I need to cheer up! My cat is 17, and I got her when I was still single and living alone. She wasn't happy when I brought home a husband, let alone two children. I can't imagine what she'd do now with a t-shirt!

 

[tankgirl427]

oh just you wait! I need to show you all the picture from my phone I took on Day 1 of her having the shirt on. Her look says it ALL!

Can't wait to hear what you accomplished on the last day. What was your last day? We had to catch DME at 3:15 too. Wonder if we were on the same bus.

Love the pics of DTD. I always feel like I never get enough time there. This time we got the most of any trips, but it still wasn't enough. That chandelier, where was that??

Whoops, I missed your whole TR! I am so sorry, it's been a crazy month here.

I just caught up though, and I loved reading about it. Your BF seems like he got better as the trip went on, even if he never ended up loving it. He seemed less mean in the last few updates though! I'm sure he's very nice, you had some moments (like EE) where he does seem very sweet. Disney just isn't for everyone!

I love all the food pictures. MMM. I can never get enough food pictures from disney!

Too funny about your cats and the shirts. We put a shirt on my cat a few times and he just lays his front half on the ground and scoots around with his back legs until he gets the shirt off. Cats do not like clothing!

I can't wait to see your PP pictures! It sounds like you have some good ones!

We left on the 7th. The chandelier was at Trend-D in DTD.

HAA HAA HAA about your cat. The PP pictures are okay, but he took all the pictures of myself with the characters and since I watch everything Disney, I knew certain things to talk about to try to get a reaction. Oh just you wait. We're getting to the end of my trip and then I"ll show you some of the best photos I"ve been waiting to show everyone.

Ah..sorry, I cant seem to keep everyone's dates straight. I know we were there around the same time...

Trend-D...never went into. I will have to go there next time! Those looked very cool.!

That's okay, I can't keep anyone else's dates straight beyond we were there sometime around Labor Day weekend.

We woke up on Tuesday our last day, with a lot to accomplish in my mind, but very little time to do it in. We needed to finish the last minute packing, check out of the hotel, check in with the airlines, check our carryon luggage before our day could start.

ME was set to pick us up at 3:15pm for our flight time of 6:15pm. In addition we had 3 QS and 6 Snacks left to be used. Plus I wanted to get a gift for my mom and dad for coming down and staying at our house and taking care of the cats while we were gone. I had yet to find anything worthwhile yet.

Check out was a breeze since I never put a credit card on file and we never charged anything. BF stood in the check-in line for the airport, while I stood in the luggage assistance line for our carry ons. I finished with luggage assistance, just as BF was being grilled about what flight we were on and for our IDs. He was completely clueless! We had to weight my suitcase, because well it looked heavy. 43lbs! I could have still packed 7lbs worth of stuff in it!

Then we were off. First stop.................MK! I told BF when we got there I wanted him to go through the no bags line and go straight to Space Mountain. I would get my bag checked at meet him for Buzz Lightyear. While he went off and did that, I soaked up the energy on Main St. and decided dear old dad needs some Mickey ears, so I stopped by La Chateau to get some personalized for him. While waiting I wandered around the other stores and came back to wait for my hat. I got stuck behind an order for seven hats and I guess only a couple machines were working right. Finally I got my hat and BF was all done with Space Mountain.

We met at Buzz and had a great time!

Afterwards we were getting hungry and I "forced" us to get this for breakfast:

After eating that delicious breakfast, we're down to only 2 QS meals! Yippee!

We shopped a little bit, we got my mom a mickey scarf and I got a Toy Story Vinylmation. Then we had to decide whether to take the monorail to Epcot and try to see a couple rides, or go to HS and make BF ride the RNRC......

Where to next?

"could have still packed 7lbs worth of stuff in it!"

Breakfast looks very yummy...I am on my way out to work. I think I may just stop for a pastry.

I do feel sad though..I hate last days. It looks like you are going to fit in quite a bit though. We never get hopper tickets...so on our last day we usually do AK, since there isn't as much to do. I can see though, if we had a hopper...we could have said good bye to each park.

I need the Park Hopper option, because I think with the exception of the first full day (9/3) and Labor Day (9/6) we hit at least two parks. I need to have that option that I can leave where I am and go somewhere else if need be.

I was drooling looking at that picture earlier.

Looks like a breakfast for champions...well champions of carbs, which is what I happen to be, hehehe. I love carbs.

I too love the park hoppers, but I wonder sometimes if I "really" need them, I mean I would probably be ok with doing one park a day - but since I like to make things more complicated for us, I just *had* to get them since we've always had them in the past and probably would miss it if we didn't. LOL.

So sad it is down to your last day! We need to see more pictures! Can't wait for all your photopass pics!

I edited all my photos to death the first week. I've been waiting to show them to BF before I order them to see if he wants to make any edits, but he never has time for it. We went from 183 photos to about 235?

Seriously look at that cinnamon roll and try to tell it no you aren't interested in it! I have lots more photos to come and the cats in shirts!

 

[tankgirl427]

We decided we'd start off with HS and see how fast we could get that done and if we have time we'll hit Epcot, if not we'll go to DTD.

We took the monorail to the TTC to the waiting HS bus that left just after we got on it.

We went through the bag line together and headed for RNRC, while stopping at every Vinylmation store so I could see if they had something I liked better. Then I needed one last PhotoPass photo in front of the Tower of Terror. Then off to RNRC! I sent BF on the single rider line (I think, he may have stood in the regular line) there was only a 10 minute wait or so it said.

I waited behind the gate for him to get off the ride and spotted this.....

He loved the ride it was his favorite of the whole trip! Well who would have figured it but me who tried to get him to go on it like five times on our HS day! Seriously he wanted to ride it again but the wait time was 30 minutes and it was getting close to noon and I knew we had to get to DTD.

But first I had to stop for this:

5 snack credits left!

So we headed out and decided we wanted to take the boat to the Dolphin to DTD. There was already a boat there and it was probably faster than trying to pick which hotel to take a bus to. While waiting for the bus at the Dolphin, I started getting nervous that there was never going to be a bus to DTD, we would miss ME, we would miss our flight and my stomach was starting to get nervous and upset. The Dolphin is not the place to need to find a restroom. It took four people to give me directions before I finally found one.

I got back outside and within 5 minutes a DTD bus pulled up. We headed out and our first stop was Wolfgang Puck Express for a nice filling lunch.

0 QS left, 5 snacks left!

OOOO CREME BRULEE!!

I am so going to WPE this trip!!

It figures he loved RnRC the best...if only they would listen to us....*shakes head*

 

[TwiddleDeeTwiddleDum]

I gotta say I think you're brave trying to fit in DTD on a short day like you had You never know how transportation is going to go getting over & back. Your lunch looked yummy, but your bfast REALLY looked yummy!

So DBF liked RnRC? Maybe he'll learn to start listening to your wise disney counsel from here on out

To keep from the end of the end from happening, here are some funny pictures I took with characters:

Hi!

Oh gosh... I'm on page 3, reading along hesitantly, not because of an uninteresting PR (just the opposite -- I love reading about your plans!), rather because of how uncomfortable your BF is making your trip!

Hopefully... it'll be better for you, the further I read. Yet... I'm guessing, based on the chapter titles, it doesn't. Ugh!!

Anyway... I hope you can go again, with a fellow Disney-er!
