Plan for the Day
Check out ad fly home
Not much excitement today. We get up and pack. After packing is completed, we drag our checked bags over to the resort airline check in desk, check them, and head to Olivia's for some breakfast. I'm not really hungry so just order he fruit plate. Our pickup is not until 1 so we head "home" and hang out until our 11 am checkout time. We move across the street to Hospitality House and hang out there until 12;30 when we move outside to wait for our 12:50 Magical Express pickup. At 1, the bus has not yet arrived so I run to the rest room. While I am there the bus arrives. When I return, Gene tells me the driver wanted to take our bag off the bus and make us wait for the next bus as he has "a schedule to keep". Before heading to the airport, we stop at Saratoga Springs for additional pickups.
No-one on our bus tips our driver - I wonder if he was as nasty to them as he was to us??
I have pre-check status but Gene does not so we head through the regular security line. It is as it always is in Orlando airport - a disorganized mess so it take us a while to get though.
I buy sandwiches that we eat on board. We fly; we arrive home; our daughter pricks us up at the airport and returns us to our home
Disney trip over. Until next time......

Just caught up on all your reports, sounds like a great trip! With all the reports of how crowded it was in the beginning of December I'm glad it wasn't too bad for you. One question, did the Boathouse take TIW? There's been conflicting reports on that.
Thanks for sharing your trip.

While they left open the possibility they would accept TIW in the future, they were not accepting it when we ate there.

Enjoyed reading your trip reports. We were there 12/10--12/19. I didn't find the crowds too bad and the weather was great. We had problems on Toy Story as well with one of the screens not working.

We were there the exact same dates and ate at the Boathouse on 12/8. I specifically asked a manager. The reply was that they are not accepting TIW. But they DO accept the dining plan, and both the AP and DVC discounts (10%).
