Last Day

We had breakfast at the Innkeepers Club this morning before we left for Disney's Hollywood Studios.  We arrived at the park 15 minutes early and were glad that we did as they let everyone in before the park actually opened.  We were one of the first in line for Toy Story Mania and only had a short wait.  Brett decided not to join us and tried Rock N Roller Coaster one last time, but it was closed for the day.  Instead he rode Star Tours and then met Cam at Twilight Tower of Terror.  Meg and I went shopping at the Tatooine Traders.  We had been there earlier and saw a Storm Trooper ugly Christmas shirt that we knew would be perfect for Cal.  We also found a Boba Fett hat that we knew he would like.  Once we made our purchases and Cam and Brett rode Star Tours one last time we all headed back to the Boardwalk.

We finished our packing and marked our bags for the airline and those that we were going to use as carry-ons.  We ate lunch at EPCOT Food and Wine Festival one last time as well.  It was all delicious and everyone had their favorites one more time.  We decided that the Mexico ride should be our last one as it was our first one when we arrived.  Doug even joined us this time.  Meg and Cam really wanted to stop at the Innkeepers Club one more time, so we hung out there for a little while before we needed to catch the Magical Express.  Meg and Cam had spent the week watching their favorite Disney Classic Cartoon channel that they can only find at Disney World.  It wasn't on in the lounge today in lieu of football, but I think they had gotten their fill earlier.

The Magical Express was late, but we were all on the same one.  Orlando airport is very big and it always takes awhile to get through security.  We found a place to eat some dinner and then waited with Brett at his terminal as he flew out twenty-five minutes before we did.  His plane was over booked and I was afraid that it would be delayed, but it left five minutes early.  Our plane was completely full again, but left on time as well.  I tried to sleep, but it was too bumpy.  I never found myself scared, however.  Watching Pride and Prejudice really helped as well as being able to track our flight on my phone.

We were able find our luggage fairly quickly.  Luckily, Meg recognized one of the bags that had lost its green H duck tape mark.  We were extremely fortunate that our shuttle was parked outside the baggage claim area waiting on passengers.  We caught that quickly and were in our van within ten minutes.  The drive home was uneventful, just tiring.  We stopped in Westville for something to eat and pulled into our drive at 12:45 a.m.
We definitely maximized our fall vacation.  It was exhausting, but well worth it!
