What to do before you go home??
Hello.
Just looking for some ideas to do on the day we fly out. Our flight leaves at 4:50pm, so ME will pick us up around 2ish. We're staying at WL, but wondering what you would do with the last remaining hours with a couple of tots!! Maybe MK one last time?!?! Thanks!

Re: What to do before you go home??
We always seem to have early flights home.....but if we didn't have to be ready until 2:00 we would probably hit MK one last time. You could always hit the pool. Keep a change of clothes with you and a plastic bag for yor wet bathing suits for the trip home.

Re: What to do before you go home??
MK is a great idea since you are so close by at the WL.
DTD is another option that a lot of people use, since they are usually all out of park passes by the last day.

Re: What to do before you go home??
Funny, Miss SMIG and I have already discussed this... our flight our is at 7pm.
So with that said, this is what we decided to do... MGM has Early hours, so Miss SMIG and I will be going for the rope drop -- I am excited. We have 11am ADR @ Supercalifragilistic Breakfast after breakfast we are going back to the hotel to check out and get our luggage taken care of, and will either spend the remainder of the day either at the pool or in DTD or maybe even go play some mini golf...

Re: What to do before you go home??
We always have early flights out unfortunately but if I was staying at WL and had a morning and afternoon I would probably rent one of those little boats on Bay Lake or do the Parasailing by the Contemporary. That would be a fun way to end a vacation!

Re: What to do before you go home??
We finish up packing and leave the hotel at check-out time and then go to a character breakfast (on the late side). Next year we will be going to the 1900 Park Fare breakfast at the GF. Since no meals are served on the flight home, we like a nice filling meal b/f leaving. Even though it seems like you have all day, the time goes by fast and this is all we ever seem to be able to fit in. Another option is to hang out by the WL pool till its time to leave.

Re: What to do before you go home??
Depending on the time of our flight, which is normally to early to do anything, we usually hit DTD for a last shop and visit.

Re: What to do before you go home??
Sleep in, late breakfast, maybe rent a boat for a spin around the lake.
Late breakfast would work for you then a mid afternoon lunch in the food court at the airport.

Re: What to do before you go home??
This time we were picked up by Magical Express at 4:55pm and we were staying at the GF. We checked-out, dropped our stuff with bell services and went to the MK. We had lunch, rode a few rides, and saw a few shows. I got my picture taken with Buzz and Stitch (yay!) and around 3:30-4pm we went back to the hotel.
Since you're at WL you might be able to do something similar or if you don't have park tickets for that day, you could go to DTD and browse. |

Re: What to do before you go home??
we always get so melancholy the last day but we try to atill make the most of it. Usually we will go to a park~ usually MK~ to get one last soak up of the castle. We did spend one last day at DT and Marketplace but that just resulted in me spending even more and carrying more things to airport! not a good plan I'm telling ya!

Re: What to do before you go home??
We ALWAYS rent a boat and take in that last of WDW and the views and relax before heading out to the airport.
