I woke up fairly early and started packing everything up. It sure
is easier to pack up for two people on a 4 day trip, than 4 people on a
2 week trip! :-) After getting most everything
ready, we went downstairs to enjoy a nice ‘quiet’ breakfast at
Whispering Canyons. :-) This restaurant is ANYTHING but
quiet, but we knew that and enjoyed the fun. I even needed
ketchup! ;-) We had the breakfast skillet and it was very
good. We headed back up to the room to finish packing, and called
Bell services to take the bags down to the car.
After saying our good-byes to the WL, we jumped in the car and drove to
Downtown Disney Marketplace. We had over half a LARGE suitcase,
just waiting to be filled with Christmas presents to take home for the
girls. :-) We found lots of goodies at the World of Disney,
and the 10% AP discount came in handy! We continued through the
shops and found more presents in Basin (Grandma), the Christmas store
and others. Finished it off with a nice ice cream sundae at
Ghiradelli’s. Yum.
 Around
4pm it was time to head to the airport. It was not too busy on
417, and we quickly arrived and returned the rental car. Checked
the bags in some pretty short lines, and then walked around checking
out the shops there in the airport. Even found a shirt in the
right size that the Airport Disney Store that they didn’t have in World
of Disney! :-)
We grabbed some Villa Pizza for dinner, and then headed to our gate to
wait for the flight. We were a bit nervous because we had about
30 minutes between connections (they had changed our flights about a
month back). The flight was on time, and even though it was full
we took off pretty close to the scheduled departure time. The
pilot made up the few minutes in the air. We still ran to our
connection, and made it about a minute before they started
loading. This flight was only about half full, so we each grabbed
our own row, and enjoyed some space and snooze time on the much smaller
plane. Landed right on time, and I headed out to get our car
while Kristen grabbed the bags. It was VERY cold (about 27
degrees), and quite the shock after enjoying Florida temperatures for
several days. Worse yet, was the need to shovel our our drive way
at midnight when we got home! :-) I wanna go back to
Florida!!!! ;-)
It was a great trip, and we had a very good time. It would have
been perfect if Kristen hadn’t gotten sick. I don’t know if we’ll
be able to go in early December again, but I’d definitely love
to! The many MouseFest and Tagrel.com meets were the best, and it
was great having time to spend with so many internet friends!
Happy Holidays!!!
