I can hardly believe the week has passed us by already. As tired as we all are, it has really been a great week. Boo....time to go home. We slept in this morning knowing it was going to be a long day travelling home. We still had some meal credits left, so I ordered up breakfast on room service to use the last of them up. It was nice to poke away at breakfast in our room and on the balcony. Erin even got to enjoy Mickey waffles for the last time this trip!
Speaking of meal credits, we still had 14 snack credits left, so I went down to the store at the hotel and cashed them in for 14 chocolate bars and mickey rice crispie squares. The bag must have weighted 2 lbs!! That's a lot of snacks for the plane!
We next gathered all of our stuff and headed down to the lobby to catch the Magical Express bus back to the airport. We got through everything in good time at the Orlando airport. Our flight pretty much left right on time. Erin crashed almost right away when we took off. We had to wake her up when we got to Toronto!!
Washrooms were in order when we got off the plane, then we hopped into the customs line. This went smoothly. We got our luggage and rechecked it. The only thing we found odd was having to go through security screening again. This meant I had to toss the yogourt and drink I got for Erin. Grrrrr..... it seems ridiculous to go through again since we never left the security area. I swear, nothing is ever simplet at Pearson airport.
We didn't have a long wait for our next and final flight to Ottawa. In no time we were onboard and ready to roll. I thought this was going to be the first time in all the times I've flown through Pearson that we would leave on time. But alas, it was not to be so. The stretch remains unbroken - can you see the trend of my dislike and general avoidance of Pearson!! We were on the taxi-way when the pilot announced that they had to reset the computer on the plane and that we had to go back to the gate. Next refueling, maintenance sign offs, blah, blah, blah, and 1 1/1 hours later we were up in the air. We arrived in Ottawa just before 9:00pm. Thankfully we didn't have to wait long for our luggage or for the Park & Fly shuttle. We made a quick stop at Tim's for some coffee - my only complaint about Disney is they can't serve a decent cup of coffee!!! We were home just after 10:00pm.
I'm glad we didn't have to go back to work the next day. The trip was fantastic, but a Disney vacation with kids is far from relaxing!! Laundry, laundry, and more laundry awaits me in the morning! It's good to be home though!!!
