Minnie

Goofy

Chip

and Dale

I woke up early the next morning (surprise, surprise) and grabbed the laptop and my mug and headed first to Gasparilla's and then to the main lobby.   I spent the next hour typing some trip report and noticed that the lobby music came on at 6am.  It was very nice sitting in front of the Gingerbread house, next to that huge tree and enjoying the wonderful atmosphere of the resort.  Very nice.

I headed back to the room about 7am, and got everyone moving.  We had a 10am breakfast this morning at the Cape May Cafe, so we packed up the remaining items and shoe-horned them into the van!  Breakfast was very good (this breakfast buffet is probably our second favorite on site.  1900 Park Fare comes in first)  The girls had fun seeing Minnie, Goofy, Chip and Dale - all decked out in their swimming gear!


We thought about going to Downtown Disney, but I don't think I could have fit another piece of gum in that van.  Since they don't even SELL gum on Disney property, we decided to just head on off to Ocala and get to my brother's early.  We called ahead to warn him, and he said that he had a friend over to watch football, but that was no problem.  We were all tired, and needed a nap, so we just zipped into the spare bedroom and crashed for a couple hours.  I think the week was catching up with all of us! 

We stayed in that night and enjoyed Domino's Pizza and watched Ice Age.  We all caught up, and then Derek and I stayed up to try out several of his new XBox games before hitting the sack.  He had to go to work in the am, and we would be hitting the road then as well.

We got up around 6am, and were on the road by 7am.  It was freezing outside (literally!).  There was a heavy frost on the van and we had to wait for it to clear off before heading out (the ice scraper was BURIED). 

The drive home was not really bad at all, and we broke it down into two days.  The first day we drove to Emporia, VA.  And the next day (New Year's Eve) we were home before 4pm.  Not too bad!  The weather was dry the entire way home, and the traffic wasn't terrible, except in a few spots.  I'd drive again if I had to, but prefer to fly.

We had a wonderful trip, and really enjoyed the Christmas themeing at WDW.  Now, I have to get going on those plans for July!!!  :-)

If you've made it this far, thanks so much for sharing our vacation with us!  Until next time!!
