Our last day. Humph. I don't care that we are on day 25, it ALWAYS sucks leaving Disney!

The alarm went off at 9am, we got dressed and packed the final few things and then called down to bell services to help us with our bags. We left the bags in Disney as we didn't want to leave them in the car while we were out and about this morning. We left our room at 10:15 :(


We drove to Keke's near Carrie's house. Carrie was a bit panicked as we were later than we had planned and church was just finishing (it gets busy about then). Carrie had put her name down though and a few mins after we arrived the buzzer went off and we were seated :)


How did we only visit on our last day?? The food was lush! There was so many different things on the menu, I went for a waffle while Sy went for an omelette.

We paid the bill and made our way outside. Carrie needed to pop into publix next door so we went in too, and bought even more Oreos (like we weren't taking enough of them back already?!).


We then said goodbye to Carrie for the last time and drove back to Disney to grab our cases. :(


We were a bit early for the airport still so we drove through Celebration for a look at all of the pretty houses.

We then made the sad trip over to the airport at about 2pm.


We dropped the car back and then went to check in for our flight. We were flying back within extra case, yesterday I tried to book the extra case in online but it wouldn't let me so we were expecting to pay when we got there. The girl checking us in asked if we had paid for it yet and we said no, she checked in all our bags and then handed us back our passports and told us to have a great flight! So we got out of paying £60 for our extra case! Get in! Thanks lady! I wonder if it's cause we had seat plus booked? Who knows.


We quickly popped into the Disney store cause I'd forgotten to grab a few Disney dollars I'd been asked to get (oops!). We then had time for a quick sadness picture in front of the Christmas tree before getting in the mahoosive queue to go through security.

Last ride of the holiday...

We decided to get dinner in outback as we still had plenty of time before our flight. I went for a chicken, bacon and Swiss sandwich with a baked potato (yummy!) while Sy went for a tuna sandwich :)

I think the tuna to bread ratio is a bit off lol

After eating and paying the bill we went to change into our warmer clothes in preparation for coming back to a cold and dreary England. I went first while Sy waited for the stuff and then he went in, only I was then paged and asked to come to the desk :O so I had to leave Sy in the bathrooms getting changed and go to the desk. They wanted to check me in and take me onto the plane right then but I had Sy's passport so I had to wait a few mins for him.


He arrived shortly after and we were taken onto the plane. We had seat plus so a nice spare seat in between us that we could spread out to (and once in the air dump our stuff on lol). We were in row 32.

We were an hour late taking off. The journey passed without too much trauma. It was quite bumpy though. Even with a seat between me and Sy he woke me up twice humph. We both slept on and off for most of the flight. The food wasn't great as always when we leave the USA. Chicken and rice for dinner and something god-awful for breakfast that I refused to eat lol.

We landed at 7:40am local time. 2:40am Orlando time :O by the time we were through boarder control our bags were there so we were on our way out in record time.


Sy's dad Cliff came to pick us up and took us back to their house. We had some breakfast and Sy went straight to work in the dining room (I dunno how he does it), In a stark contrast I went to bed for a few hours hahaha.


Early afternoon we drove back home, stopping to pick up the kitty on the way. I drove as I had slept while Sy napped in the passenger seat :)


As always, we ordered Chinese for dinner! Yummy! It's the one food we really miss while we are in Orlando, I know there is Chinese but it's different (and to me, not as good!). I dunno how but we managed to stay up till 11pm :O gotta be the latest we've stayed up after coming home. It really helped beat the jet lag though so must try it again next time.


Tink was pretty happy we were all home again.

And so my friends we now find ourselves at the end of our trip report. 25 days in Disney might sound like way too much for some people but for us? Well, we had a lovely long trip which we enjoyed a lot, I must admit it wasn't as hard coming home having spent so long there but it was still sad to be leaving. Would we do another long trip like this? Erm, well we kinda already booked it! We will be flying out on the 14th October (2016) and arriving home on the 8th of November... So I think that pretty much sums it up!


Oh and would you look at that! It's only 9 days to go till our next trip!! So keep your eyes peeled for the next report :)
