Retail therapy to help the last day blues!

Florida 2011, Day 15, part 1


8th of December, 2011

Today was the day they would force me onto a plane and make me go back to Ireland. I was not a happy bunny but we did have half a day left to spend in Disney World. So we left the room at 8.30 saying farewell to my Disney bedroom and went to check out:


While Mother was checking out I grabbed a quick breakfast as I needed one last Mickey waffle none of this POP century waffles for adults give me the kids Mickey head:


Just outside the door to POP century’s reception area is the bag check area where you can leave your luggage and go off and do fun stuff for the day so once we did that we headed for Downtown Disney. Spotted a Coca-Cola truck on the way:


Then it was straight to World of Disney to get rid of the last dollars and 20% off vouchers we had.  

We bought loads and I also kept a promise I’d made to Tigger earlier in the trip and got a Tigger hoodie:  
Mother and I met at the check-outs where we were served by possibly the most miserable CM I’ve ever met. She wasn’t smiley and happy like the rest of them and mother was trying to chat with her about the fact we were going home today and how I’d love to stay in Florida and work in Disney. She was like no you wouldn’t there’s no holidays and you have to work every weekend. I just went yeah but you get to see Mickey Mouse every day in some shape or form. Mother wished her well and said she hoped to see her next year and yer one barely cracked a smile!


Once we left World of Disney I left mother sitting on a nearby wall while I went to take a quick picture of the lego features outside the lego store:


When I went back Mother was gone! Turned out she went back in to World of Disney because the CM made a mistake with her receipt. I went back to get a pin and noticed these cute Tinkerbell cups and frames.
And then the paintings on the ceiling. It pays to look up:
After that we decided to head back to POP to pack everything we bought into the luggage. The POP bus was about to leave as we were getting to the stops and we started running and the super cute bus driver saw us and waited for us. Once back at POP we went for food. I had my not a people person Grumpy t-shirt on and the CM at the counter was like “Sorry” I was like for what? And he was like that you’re not a people person. I was like oh no I’m not a leave Disney person. Then he gave us both free drinks for no other reason than it was our day to go home and he was being sympathetic. We both got some cupcakes with our dinner as well. Mother got this one:


I got this cupcake:
I only ate a little bit and the rest came to the airport with me. I also picked up a few Disney snacks to bring home. Then I went into the shop because they had a pin board out so I did pin trading and took pics of some of the cuties for sale in the shop:

After that we decided to wander around POP and see what the resort is like.
I loved looking at the way people had their windows decorated:
There’s Art of Animation:
Best year WDW was built. Thank you Mr. Disney:
