Our Final Day, Finally
We originallly were going to get up early and go to one of the parks, but we decided we had enough and decided to sleep in. We slept til about 8:30 and that was nice. Then, I went down to food court and got DS pancakes and me a bagel. I stood in line with one person in front of me for almost 10 mins. She was only getting a milkshake, but I guess it took longer since it was probably the first of the day being so early and all...Then, the guy behind the counter goes away and is gone for 5 mins...the lady behind me is like, what is he doing? I figured maybe he was out of one of the ingredients or maybe he had to go out back and milk the cow:lol: Well, he comes back and gives the lady a straw...It was a normal straw that you could get where all of the silverware and condiments are...I just look at the lady and we are in disbelief...she couldn't get one herself...I finally get my bagel and ask where the cream cheese is and he said it is over in the refrigerator area....The lady behind me said, : You need help with that? or can you manage....?" I said, I don't know, maybe he can escort me over......:lol: I love sarcastic people being one myself at times...
I go back to the room and DS and DH are still sleeping....I finish up our packing I didn't finish from last night and then they finally wake up and we have our breakfast. I call for luggage assitance and they say 20 mins...Well half hr comes and no one has arrived yet, so I call again...They said they will be right there....So DH waits and I take son to arcade as he was getting antsy... We were there a good 15 mins before DH showed up....
We played games for a couple of hrs and got a lot of tickets.......DH figured out the trick of the wheel of Fortune game and empited the machine 5 times....everythine the guy who worked there reloaded that machine or another, he would give me any extra tickets that were stuck in the machines...It pays to have a cute 2 yr old
So, it is getting close to our departure time, so we cash in our tickets and are able to get more than an eraser or pencil...We get a blue crayola lava lamp and a bunch of candy for DH...candyaholic.
We meet up with my brother in law and friend and head to the food court to try and finish up our dining plan credits...we had discovered the day before that we had 7 counter services left...so by the time we left, we only had left one and one snack...not too bad. So, we have lunch and say our goodbyes and then it is time to go and claim our luggage and get in line for Magical Express Bus...They guy could not find our luggage...I gave him our last name, a common name, but there were 3 people with the same last name...Finally, he thought to ask my first name, and found it instantly...We only waited about 5 mins and bus came...
Once on bus, I realized we had no money to tip the poor bus driver who loaded and unloaded the bus with bags.....I felt so bad...only had fifities left. Felt funny asking him for change....Sorry wherever you are. I knew his name 3 wks ago, but now I am drawing a blank...I will catch you next time around.
We went to 3 other resorts, but only picked up people at 2 of them as there was no one waiting at the one resort...
Off to the airport..pleaseant ride...It just stunk you had to lug your luggage into the airport and all the way to your gate .Once we got inside, We had to wait in line to check our luggage...It was a pretty long line....My DS had falled asleep on the bus, but now he was wide awake...He goes Mommy, I wet...sure enough, I look at my shirt and it is wet and his pants are wet...I can't get out of line to change him, so I do what any good mom would do, and change him in line....I whipped off his shoes and wet pants and put them in a side pocket of our carry one and whipped of his diaper...then, the line moves, So I stay on my knees crawl a few feet and put him back down and change his diaper and put on a pair of jeans, as it will be night time when we get home and cooler...Once he is all ready and I pick up everything...I head a woman say, " Good Job Mom!" Really made my day. That was the quickest I had ever changed my son's diaper and clothees..
After all of this, We got upstairs and waited in our gate, in the preboard section, another plus of traveling with someone under 5....We only had about 30 mins to kill....Magical Express was great in getting us there on time, but not too early.
Flight was pretty good. The pilot was funny. He was giving us the weather forecast for Baltimore....We were going to Philly. He just wanted to see if we were awake...:lol:
The flight was pretty good...no turbulence. I forgot to mention we experienced a little bit on the way there. DS and DH had fallen asleep, so I got to experience it alone. It was kind of cool. It was like being on a roller coaster...
Once we arrived in Philly, there was no announcement made to tell us where to get our luggage...The Southwest signs sucked and we went the wrong way and ended up at the exit...We turned around and saw people from our plane, so we followed them...Finally found our baggage claim....It took about 15 mins til our luggage started to come down the ramp...By this time, son had pooped...lucky me. This time there was a bench, so I was able to change him on there...lucky it was clean ________. Moms I am sure you know what I mean there.
We got our luggage, waited outside less than 10 mins and our ride arrived....Then it was off to home...
We didn't unpack for 3 days...just didn't feel like it......
We had a great trip, but we were glad to be home...
Already planning next trip hopefully Nov 2007...
Cannot wait....:sohappy:
