After our filling lunch we kept on walking around, snapping pictures.
















Adriel being silly.































I went to WoD to see if I could find the Safari Mickey that Adriel wanted. Remember the one he wanted to buy outside of AK and I told him to wait. I figured they's have it here since they have almost everything. Well, they didn't have it. Let's just say that Adriel wasn't too happy. To this day he still reminds me of that.

I went into Basin. After smelling almost all the soaps I finally decided on the Almond Honey and the Japanese Cherry Blossom. The boys wanted one too and they chose Ocean Mist.

We then moved on to Once Upon a Toy.


I bought a box of Potato Head pieces for Adriel. AJ bought the book #4 and #5 of the Kingdom Keepers series.

Adriel wanted to go on the Carrousel. We saw a couple of those in the parks but no, he wanted to go on this one. The one that costs money.





It was very hot and we were getting tired and cranky so we decided to go back to the resort. By now it was 4:30 but we still had a while more to wait. We got to the resort and I retrieved our carry-ons. After some re-arranging I was able to put our purchases away. We found some comfy seats at the lounge and parked ourselves there.



At about 7:00 the kids and I were getting hungry so we headed over to Riverside Mill for some dinner. I don’t really remember what the boys had. I had pasta. Arben was still full (that’s a first) so he didn’t get anything.


My dinner.

I went to the bathroom to freshen up, while the boys went to the store. They wanted to buy me a bracelet but didn’t have enough money. So they bought me a keychain and a unicorn lollipop instead.

At around 8:00 we started gathering our stuff and headed outside. And what do you know, it was raining. I’m gonna say that Disney was crying because they were really, really sad we were leaving. We were also very sad to leave as you can see in these pictures.





The DME bus arrived promptly at 8:30.



There was only one more family in the bus and they too were headed to Puerto Rico. The bus drivers name was Omar and he was from Colombia. He was nice and very funny. He said he loved to speak Spanish but he can’t do it very often because he isn’t allowed to do it on the job. His farewell message to us was hilarious. He said, “If you’ve enjoyed my services my name is Omar but if you didn’t then my name is Jose. Unless your name is Jose, then my name is Carlitos.”

Something rather strange did happen. As we were entering the airport, the bus driver managed to get the door stuck on a curb and when trying to “fix” it he actually broke the door. "Somebody's in trouble"

Anyways, we were dropped off and the airport looked like a ghost town.





There were no lines at security. We would’ve breezed through if it weren’t for the guard that decided to quiz my kids. That was the first time that has ever happened. I then got mad at Arben because I had to carry almost everything while he went on with his bin to put on his stuff. Yeah, here I am carrying a thousand things and keeping an eye on all 3 kids while he’s off to a bench with his tiny little bin.

We walked to our gate and settled down. I read for a while, Arben napped of course, AJ also read and the other 2 annoyed me. Before we knew it, it was time to board. We got settled in and the plane took off right on time. Before the crew came around offering snacks, Adriel was asleep on my lap. Poor kid, he was done.

The flight was uneventful and we landed 10 minutes early. We got off the plane and gathered our luggage. My bil was outside waiting. We loaded the SUV and were on our way. Arrived home at 2:45 am. We were all so exhausted, lights were out at 3:20.

And just like that, our most magical trip ever was over.
