This was our last full day :( Actually, by this time, I was hurting quite nicely.
DH and I were originally supposed to join the rest of the family at MK, but we had enough of it by this point. We let my folks take Max and we headed back to Epcot. We went on Mission Space one more time, checked out the new Nemo ride at the Living Seas (I thought it was cool how they got the animation to look like it was in the water. Other than that, it was so-so). (Oh, I forgot to mention that we went on Spaceship Earth the previous day. We liked the beginning, hated the ending.) We went on Mexico...another disappointment. Spaceship Earth and Mexico were our 2 most favorite rides and we felt a bit let down by the changes. Oh well, to each his own.
We finally had our lunch at Germany, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. We had fun talking to a couple from the Chicago area.
By this time, it was pretty hot and we felt like we had seen everything we really wanted to see. We went back to the hotel for a relaxing swim.
Oh, this was funny...as we got off of the boat between the Swan and the Dolphin, this gentleman asked the driver "Where is the Swan?" DH and I got away from him as quickly as possible and cracked up laughing! We couldn't help making sarcastic remarks like "Um, it's the building with the HUGE Swan on the roof!!" How could anyone miss it? You can see it from EVERYWHERE. So, that's our new line..."Where is the Swan?" :D
After a swim (we were offered frozen towels at the pool, which was a nice perk!), we changed and went to DTD. We all had dinner together at Wolfgang Puck's (DH and I stopped to pick up a Happy Meal for Max rather than chance him not eating). The folks took Max to the Lego store and he had a blast there. DH and I went to Pleasure Island to the comedy club (this gal in the audience offered up her embarrassing story of how she ran over her driving instructor during her very first driving lesson! And she was 19 years old at the time! They did a song about her that she will never forget!!). Then we went to the Adventurer's Club and sat in on a lecture in the library (ooh la la!) and a radio show broadcast.
We did some shopping at World of Disney after the clubs and then decided that we were exhausted. We caught a bus and it took almost an hour to get back to our hotel. We had 8:15 ADRs at the Poly (Ohana) in the morning, so we were exhausted...and still had to pack up our bags since were leaving the next day.
Stay tuned for our last morning....
