I enjoy cruising more than the parks now. The last family trip we took, it was a DCL bus that DMEd us back to MCO. How is that for a kick in the pants? I agree about debarkation though. We went direct to the airport after our second cruise. Never again as well. Even if we don't hit the park, we will stay onsite on debarkation day just to stay in the bubble for one more night.The worst "walk of shame" we had was when we did our first Disney cruise. Here we are departing the ship with all our bags, walking past all these disgusting, happy, smiling faces getting on the Disney buses going to the resorts and we're getting on the bus going to MCO. Talk about depression!! I told DH, "never again!" If we're doing a cruise out of Port Canaveral, then we are hitting the parks after the cruise!! I don't ever want to feel that way again

As do we.We like doing that before embarkation as well
LOL--how appropriate to be singing the Imperial Death March when you stepped on the snail! As an aside, that song always reminds me of when I would work with my co-worker who was a PT (I'm an OT) and we'd do co-treatments together. We'd sing that song as we'd go down the hospital hallways to our next victim, er, patient!Oh, that walk of shame gets me every time. I like to walk super slow and play the Imperial Death March in my mind.
The last time I accidentally stepped on a snail on my way out. Leaving Disney is hard enough, but leaving Disney as a snail killer is a lot to deal with.
I have a similar experience with my father.The worst for me is actually exiting through the gates of the Magic Kingdom (always our "finale" park) on the last day, knowing I won't be back for awhile. I always feel like I'm leaving a little piece of my heart -- and of my late mother, who loved WDW and with whom I have so many wonderful memories of the Magic Kingdom that I feel her presence with me as much there as I do walking through my childhood home -- inside the park.
