Woke up feeling like crap - but plugged on for the family and for the sake of our last full day at WDW!!
We headed to Epcot to roam around and meet our 1pm lunch reservations at Chef de France. We did the character greet where we met Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and Goofy. Goofy, was a trip. He REALLY didn't seem like he wanted to be there. I don't think the kids picked up on it, but both Bob and I commented on that after we were outside.
We went on the Finding Nemo ride and looked at the aquarium afterwards.
Once the Worldshowcase opened up, we decided to walk around the countries again. We were on the look out for characters as the girls were really getting into it now. Celie and Bob had decided that they wanted to go watch the movie about China. Anna and I decided to hang out and soak in the sun. Bob and Celie came back shortly after leaving us and told us to hurry because Mulan was all by herself. The girls were able to get their pic taken with her and she signed their pillowcases.
We also saw Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins, Jasmine & Aladdin - but the girls didn't want to wait in line for them.
We then made it to France and waited for our lunch. It was good from what I could taste of it. Remi from Ratatoulie made his appearance at our table. It was pretty cool. He was moved around and had a person move him around the restaurant. The girls got a kick out of it.

Afterwards, we decided that Bob would take the girls to the Magic Kingdom to ride GB and I would go back to the hotel to print out our boarding passes for our return home the following day. I was also going to rest a little to gain some energy for our last night. We were going to meet at the Grand Floridian for our dinner reservations at 1900 Fare Park - a character dining experience. I did not rest - I had to go to another hotel's business center to print out because I wanted to change our seats and they couldn't do that for me at our hotel - which was fine but it was some running around. When I finally met up with Bob and the girls - they did GB but Celie had a small fit, and it was less than a perfect departure. However, Bob did say that as they were leaving Magic Kingdom, both girls were saying " See you later Cinderella's castle!! We will be back soon!! Bye Mickey, Bye Minnie!!"
Dinner at the Grand Floridian was awesome (I could barely taste things, but was able to have a few tasteful bites). Bob had 4 plates of food (it was buffet style) and 2 dessert plates. The girls ate well too. But the characters were awesome. We saw Prince Charming, Cinderella, Drazella, Anastasia, and Lady Tremaine. We got pictures from everyone and signatures too (well, we forgot to ask Prince Charming for his signature, darn. next time!!!)
After dinner, we slowly headed our way back to our hotel. The girls were tired and fell asleep right away. Bob and I packed most of our things back in our boxes and took them to the front desk to be shipped back (yes, I shipped 2 boxes to ourselves. I saved $$ by not having to pay for our luggage at the airport - we also didn't have to wait for luggage at either airport - we did it on our last trip and it was a success again!). We were ready for our last 1/2 day at WDW.
