Up early and we head back to our “private” hot tub. So nice again this morning that I doa few more laps in the pool as well. Grab a quick breakfast pasty at the Swan coffee bar and go for a stroll to see the gondola station progress at HS. We got a kick out of watching families excited as they made there way to the entrance at HS. The big Christmas Tree out front made for a nice family picture with the memory maker photographer in place, but the comical part was that none of the poor kiddos were interested in stopping to take the the time for a photo when there was so much to do!! This off course lead to picaresque of some families happier than others

We took the boat ride back to the Dolphin, packed up our bags and said goodbye to our room. Had bell services hold our bags and hopped on bus to Disney Springs. Our plan was to get a nice lunch at Maria’s and Enzo’s, 40% lunch discount for DVC members! When we got ther the dining room was not yet open but there quick service portion was. Rather than wait we decided on the quick service, we loooved this place! Highly recommend this stop. Generous pizza slices, Italian sandwiches, great side pasta salads, etc. Very good value, a must for families trying not to break the bank, and yet you get get upscale food for all types of eaters.

After our lunch is was back to the bus stop , with another stop for coconut gelato:, and back to the Dolphin to get our bags. 2 minutes later our Uber driver picks us up and back to MCO. Flight on time and back to the real world.
