My last day at WDW was Sunday, I was up early and packed and sunbathed/went on the slide at Caribbean Beach then washed and grabbed a yummy Pina Colada smoothie and got on a bus to MK then a boat to the Grand Floridian (!!) where I checked in with a lovely old guy whose first day it was. He gave me a birthday badge and some weird ones I'd never seen before and I went to my room. It was lovely with a nice little balcony. Then I headed to AK for the third time. I went to Tusker house for lunch. Its an African buffet and you meet Donald, Mickey, Daisy and Goofy! It was good! Sadly my fav bit was the kiddy section; mac n cheese and corn dog nuggets! Then I did a safari and saw a female lion and then the Maharajah Jungle Trek where I saw bats and a tiger!!!
Then I did Dinosaur twice, got my facepainted and did some pin trading. One CM I spoke to said she'd been to Disney when you still bought the A-E tickets (pins I collect) which is cool.
Then I went home to GF and ordered room service of a ham and pineapple pizza and it came with a pot of cheese, chilliflakes, baby salt and pepper and a table cloth! Ate it in front of Despicable Me, lovely. Then I napped and missed Wishes (damn) and met Hannah for one final night at MK until 1am for EMH (extra magic hours).
We saw a bit of the last ELP and did Space mountain on the front seat, went though Fantasyland for a stop at the Winnie the Pooh shop for one last cuddly toy (definitely the best in MK) and did Its A Small World for the first time! Not too bad! Then for the last ride of the summer (sad) Haunted Mansion at 1am!! It kept stopping and Hannah freaked out hehe.
We left via Frontierland (poo river!) and Adventure land, grabbed some dole whip on the way out, took a photo in front of the castle and that was that! Sad!
We got a boat home then stayed up til 2.30 am ordering our breakfast and giggling about autocorrect.
We were woken 5 hours later for our brekky; croissants, jam, blueberry muffin juice, hot choc, marshmellows, fruit, and mickey butter!
I showered, chucked my stuff in my case and ran to the Magical Express. The driver tried to be funny and told some interesting stories but the atmosphere on the bus was sad!
I checked into the airport, grabbed a mandatory Toblerone and met the girls at the gate where they caught me up with their cruise.
We got to sit together and it was a 3 hour flight with Sun Country so I slept a bit but got a bad neck and woke with a numb leg (scary).
We got one free drink, no alcohol though, and landed in Minnesota which is 1 hour behind (Central time) then went to the loo then back on a plane for another 3 hours to Vegas where I sat alone and read my kindle, finishing Miranda!
Vegas is 3 hours behind Orlando, Pacific time. It was 100 degrees!!
We got a taxi to the MGM which is huge. Our room is nice pink and flowery has a good view and nice bathroom and automated blinds!
We changed and headed to the strip. It was so hot, like a hairdryer blowing at us, even at night, silly Desert.
Inside our hotel, among other things, is a casino, a club, lots of pools and a lazy river, a McDonalds, a 24 hour cupcake shop, at least 3 Starbucks, and the CSI experience!
We went restaurant hunting. We saw showgirls in feathers and skimpy thongs, a guy dressed as Jonny Depp, Edward Scissorhands, some awful Mickey, Minnie and Woody costumes, some bad looking transformers, and a zombie! All along the strip! This morning a fat guy dressed as a showgirl jumped in Jules face and scared her! We saw the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty and the fountains.
We ate dinner in Caeser's Palace, at a place called Trevi where I had vodka ravioli YUM.
On the way back I saw the coca cola shop and we went to bed, so so tired from jet lag!!
This morning Jules and I grabbed a Starbucks and went for a wonder and then I went to the coca cola shop and bought PJS, 6 bottles and a bottle opener. I got a photo with a scary polar bear mascot too!! SUCH FUN.
So finally to talk about yesterday, We hit the pool for 3 hours during lunch, 38 Celsius, and did the lazy river and read magazines but as we got up to leave I felt super ill and then as I walked it all went black and I felt sick and had to lay in the path!! Security came over to help me, the lifeguard gave me water and the girls dragged me to the aircon where we got McDs in the food court and I felt better. Still, scary!
Then we came up and napped and then got dressed up and headed out to pick up our tickets for...THE CHIPPENDALES! Woop Woop!
The show was at 8pm for 90 minutes and we were in the third row, and I have to say it was alot better than I thought it would be! Jules got taken on stage too! "He licked me!!" There was alot of screaming ladies!! It was like Channing Tatum dancing x10 men! We could have got a group photo for $20 but we met them in the bar afterwards and got a few photos. Then we headed to Caeser's, and went to Pure nightclub. It was all white themed and we got free drinks 'til midnight then danced, and met some German guys who we hung out with, and went out on the terrace that had awesome views of the strip! My favourite part of the night was Jen saying "I want to go to the loo just so I can sit down". Hahaha.
We made it home about 3am!
