Re: Dana - the Trip report 1/05
Day 7
Our final day is always sad. I am always ready to go though. 7 days is plenty and I felt that we had a great trip. We got up early and were out of the room by 7:50. We had a PS at O'hanna for their character breakfast at 8am. We were seated immediately and were only the second family to arrive. Our server took us right over and Goofy followed. The server aksed Goofy if he was going to join us. Goofy nodded and sat down with us. We signed DD's autograph book and then proceeded to play with us. He had DD sit on his lap for a picuture and then motioned to me that he was in love with my DD.. My DD said that she was going to save his seat for him while he visited the other kids. He nodded and was off. Chip and Dale both tried to steal Goofy's seat and he came back and wrote "goofy's seat" on a napkin and placed it on the chair. Mickey made his way around and made his own note that said "mickey's seat" stealing Goofy's spot. They played back and forth like this the entire meal. We had a great time! The food was good too, but it could have been horrible and still would have had a great time. Goofy is now my DD's favorite because of this meal. After a perfect last day breakfast, we headed back to the room to pack up our remaining stuff and call the bag guy. They were there in a matter of minutes and we went to officially check out. I still had $19 left on my room account and let my DD get a few pins with it. We then went to check out for real. We went to the bus stop to wait for the bus for MGM where we always spend our last day. I must say that the buses here take forever. It's a shame to spend all that money and have poor bus service. The AKL's is much quicker. We went directly on RnR and went on twice in a row with no wait. We went over to ToT and noticed the 35 minute wait and decided to grab a fast pass for the end of the day. Fast pass window was ending at 12:25 and it was perfect for our schedule. We went on the backlot tour and loved it and then headed over to ABC for lunch. We ate quickly and got to the ToT at 12:23..lol We went right on and had a great drop sequence. We sat in the front row and found that to be pretty intense...excellent ride. After ToT, we made our way to the gates and said goodbye to MGM. We got back to the Polynesian a bit to early and took one last look around. We went out to get our bags and our driver was already there for our 2pm pick-up. So we left early at 1:45 and headed to the airport. We waited really long at the airport and next time I am going to request a later drop off if possbile. After checking in and all that we got on the plane at 4:15 for our 4:45 take-off. Everything was on schedule, but I already know that doesn't mean anything with this airline. We were seated and took off as scheduled, but had to cirlce the Philly airport for what felt like forever. We waited and and circled so much that I was ready to scream when I finally got off the plane. DD and I didn't eat dinner because we were going to grab one of those in flight snack boxes...well they had a limited amount this trip...limited meaning 5. they suck! Anyway, we got our bags after waiting for a half hour and were heading home. I was glad to be home, but not glad to be in this cold weather. My dog was so excited to see me that she was wagging her whole body instead of just her tail..lol After that she wouln't come near me....she's still pouting today. I called DBF to let him know I got home. He called me at the airport wanting to know if I had a ride home. That's all she wrote guys. Another trip of memories for me and DD. It was a great trip with little bumps, but nothing that would ruin it for us. I have several things I could comment on about other guests, but it's just not worth it. People are people....I ignored them and their rude behavior. I was determined to have a great trip and I did. I will have full reviews of the new restaurants I experienced in the review section later on. My pictures won't be up till next week, but I will get them on as soon as they are done. Thanks for reading.
