DAY 8-departure day
We woke up about 8:30, and luckily had gathered our stuff the night b4 so there wasnt a lot to actually pack. We checked obsessively under the beds, in the closet, etc. etc. since we had 4-5 counter service meals left, we decided to get breakfast at gasparillas. It was a gross day, so it made leaving not so hard. It was overcast and the misting rain. Yuck!
Sickly got the biggest breakfast you can get (he wanted to get his moneys worth!) and I got pancakes and bacon. We went to sit outside and it started to rain more so we went in and ate.
look at sicklys plate, they gave him everything! sausage, bacon, waffle, pancake, eggs, hashbrowns, and a biscuit!
On our way back in we stopped in one of the shops and I bought a couple GF prints. We went upstairs to the 2nd floor and looked at our photopass pics, and just decided to buy the CD at home. I also got a GF picture frame. I wanted to get an ornament b/c we always do, but they only had one, it was a beautiful painted ball
.35 dollars!!!! Are you kidding me? I said heck no and got outta there! We went back to our room, finished getting ready, I videotaped some more, and we called the bellhop to get our luggage. (they always ask how many bags you have, I DONT KNOW! We had a ton of loose luggage so we said I dunno like 15? I think it freaked them out haha) we decided when the bellhop came we were going to leave the room for good, go back to gasparillas and get lunch to go, finish using our snack credits, and leave. We had a long drive ahead of us. I looked out the window I loved, and with tears in my eyes said goodbye to the view I knew I would never have again, and the room I would never see again. I got one last look, so I could burn it into my memory forever, and with that, I said goodbye room and we left and shut the door on room 4021 and our wonderful stay there. I sadly walked over to the elevator. Sickly knows I get like this and he tries to be supportive but its hard for him b/c he doesnt really care haha. We went down to gasparillas and got a hot dog and pizza to go, and a ton of snacks, Mickey rice krispy treats, drinks for the road for our mini ice chest, etc.
sickly getting our 80 million snacks haha
After we got our stuff, we walked around to the front and sickly went to get our car out of self park. I sat outside by the antique car on the edge of the planter thing and just soaked in as much as I could. It took sickly a while b/c self park is far away. When he pulled up we loaded in our luggage, shut the doors, and drove off. I was devastated. I had waited for this trip for so long, and now it was over, just like that. And now only that, we had a 9 and ½-10 hour drive ahead of us. Great.
I took this as we pulled out
As we left Disneyworld, I told it goodbye, and turned back around. I read the see you real soon sign and said to myself.. I hope so
..
the welcome sign out the back window of my car as we drove away.
THE END.
****side note. It took forever to get home. We stopped in gainsville to see one of sicklys groomsmen for a few minutes, got lost for about 30 minutes, were in a standstill on the interstate bc of an accident
and all kidns of fun stuff. We got to my parents house in NOLA at about 9:30 that night. We had left at 11:45 from Disneyworld. Ug! I drove the last 5 hours b/c I just wanted to get home! We stayed at my parents that night and got up, hung out with my mom a bit packed up my dog,(they babysat) and drove back to Mississippi. The 3 hour drive back seemed like nothing compared to the other drive! We got home, I looked out my window
no castle..just woods.

THANK YOU all for reading! I had so much fun writing/remembering and reading your comments, I know you are sad, but its not over! I am going to continue this thread with a wedding weekend report, so stay tuned! It was very eventful!
just like I do when i watch soap opras (except I really dont watch them-- but it sounded good).
When my DH and I got married 19 years ago, we were so broke our honeymoon was pathetic. I won't even go there. 
I never had a real honeymoon, so this was fabulous. 
) because I just don't know when I will be back. My DH tries to be sweet, too, but he is always ready to go home. (crazy him!)
He is a real cutie!! 
Thanks so much for sharing your disneymoon with us!
