Departure Day
I woke up before our alarm went off around 6:30 everyone was still asleep. I threw on clothes and grabbed my camera. I walked around the hotel to take some pictures. It was beautiful the sun was rising no one was really up yet, no boats on the lake. I took pictures and said my private good bye to WDW.
I went and got my last cup of Kona coffee. Walking back to my room I run into my DF who has been going to WDW with me almost my whole like so he knows right now I am super upset. So he starts giving me daddy advice “You had a good time, the weather stunk, you will be back ……). I got back to the room and DD and DH are up. DD must know we are leaving because she does not want to get out of bed and get dressed. We finish packing and DH brings the bags to check in. We did not go over the 50 lbs mark which made us super happy. Seriously, we did not buy a lot of things this year.
ME was going to pick up us up around 9:45. Once we were all dressed we left our room, for the last time. Went to the lobby and took turns going to get food and last minute shopping. I had to pick up something for my friend watching our dog.
The bus came and I teared up a little but I had my sunglasses on so no one could tell. Went through security without any major issues, hoped the monorail, got food, one last bathroom break then went to our gate. Flight home was fine DD slept the whole flight as soon as we took off. Once we got home I was sitting on the couch with DD watching Disney Junior and I looked around and I seriously felt like I never left NJ. I am now pushing DH to go for a super quick trip (nothing fancy) end of September, no commitment yet but we will see.
Overview:
The weather was the worst I have ever experienced. I am use to the quick PM thunderstorms but I feel I lost out so much time especially in the evenings. I wanted to do a lot more for DD but couldn’t. She didn’t realize she missed things and had the time of her life. This is the age I recommend you bring your child to WDW for the first time any earlier she really had no idea what was going on.
We got to enjoy the pool a lot this year. Really enjoyed the pool cabana my DF got. A lot of attractions plus the monorail were breaking down (my DB got stuck on the monorail 2 x this trip). I hope WDW is not getting too big and they are not maintaining everything like they use to. My DF and I were having this discussion and that is what he feels.
I enjoyed the Undiscovered Future World Tour. I sent a thank you e-mail to our tour guide yesterday telling him we appreciate everything he did.
Food wise very happy with Tony’s, Cali Grill, 1900 Park Fare, might skip next time Yak and Yeti and Liberty Tree.
Best moments Norway princess breakfast and watching Dream Along With Mickey with DD on my shoulders.
Thank you for reading my trip reports. It was fun to share all the little details with people I know would appreciate everything Disney.
TTFN Ta ta for now!!!
