Sept 5 - Peco's Bills, Wolfgang Puck's Express (yeah, again), Goofy's Candy Company and airplane food!
Our last night at Pop Century Resort had ended, they had NOT forgotten to hang one of their "billing envelopes" on our door handle, so it was time to go. We finished some of our Cokes and the Krispy Kreme doughnuts before Tom drove the car over to the luggage loading zone and we started taking everything down. It took about 20 minutes to get everything down and into the car. When we were done with everything, we went over to Mary Ellen and Joe's room again, but everything was quiet and they had the "Privacy Please" in the lock, so we didn't want to disturb them and left Pop.
We always spend our last day at the Magic Kingdom, so this is where we went.
When we got there, they had finished all the Halloween decorations and it looked beautiful. We had lots of Photopass photos taken (in the end we ended up with 1400 photo - edited ones included). I can tell you it helps to tell the photographer you have already purchased the CD, they do a lot more poses with you!!
The park was really empty and we were able to go on ALL our favourite rides at least once more before we left. While we were in Frontierland we shared a CS credit at Pecos Bill's.
We had the Chili Cheese Fries and a diet coke. There was more than enough for the two of us to share. It's not a LIGHT snack!! but yummy!
We went on Big Thunder Mountain 3 times in a row because wait times were really low and it was around mid day!
Same with Space Mountain!
Within 4 hours we were able to do everything we wanted at least once.
By 2 pm we needed to leave, we had two CS credits and a few snack credits left and we KNEW where to spend them!
We went to DTD for one last lunch at Wolfgang Puck's Express!!! We both decided to try a sandwich this time. Tom had the Roast Beef and Chedder (oven warmed) sandwich - thinly sliced Niman Ranch beef, sharp cheddar, mixed baby greens, tomato, Horseradish sauce and Dijon Aioli. It was just disneyliscious!!! So good!!!
I had the Rotisserie Beef and Gorgonzola Pocket - house roasted Niman Ranch rotisserie beef, Gorganzola, red onions, chopped Romaine, Roma tomatoes and Horseradish Caesar . All I can say is YUM!!!!!! It was a HUGE serving, but so good!
Needless to say we didn't want to leave without having dessert there once more. And yes, you guessed it - I had another Creme Bruleé. I still believe it is one of the best you can get in WDW!!!!
Tom chose another frozen yoghurt. We nicknamed it the patriotic dessert, LOL. When I went to pick it up they only had a few strawberries left, so they offered blueberries as well. Now, this is what we got - very patriotic, don't you think?
Next stop Goofy's Candy Company to spend the last two of our snack credits! Yes, we finished them ALL off!!!!
We got some some dipped Marshmallows and a rice krispy treat!
By then it was really time to leave and head for the airport. We filled up the car, returned it to the Hertz car rental station near the airport and got onto the shuttle. We were really lucky because there were only about 5 families ahead of us at check in. We took our luggage over to the inspection and went to the Main Hall of the airport, where all the shops are. More windowshopping, before we finished off our Cokes and went through the security checks.
Our plane left on time and we were served dinner. What a shock from the wonderful food we had just enjoyed during the last 4 weeks.
Here are our dinner plates! The pasta was nice and the salad too. I did not care for the dessert at all!
Then it was time for sleeping aid from Walgreens and a few hours of very uncomfortable sleeping in these airplane seats.
Next was breakfast - another plate of airplane food!
The fruit was quite nice, but the omelette tasted like cardboard!
We had a stopover in Frankfurt and longed for some real food! Don't forget this is a 10 hour flight!!
We went to the airport restaurant and ordered pizza and a mixed salad each.
Tom had a ham and salami pizza.
I had a cheese pizza, but both did not live up to WPE pizzas!!! By far NOT!!!!
Well, that was it!!! The WISH my HEART made had come true. 18 days of Free Disney Dining (plus a few extra days at UO)
I hope you all enjoyed the "ride" and hope to see you all again in 5 more weeks when I will be reviewing some of the restaurants at DLRP!!
See you then and THANKS for reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Oh, by the way, if you want to read what else happened in between meals - visit my homepage! I am working on putting ALL our adventures up in the next few days!)
