So...I would LOVE to say we have previews but we don't I am starting to loose my cool. He said 2 weeks and then when I emailed him (took him 2 days to reply btw) he said oh I did say that sorry! I will have them posted by Monday.....well its Thursday and still nothing. This is just the previews!!!! Seriously we had so many problems with the other ones...I don't need this. I'm trying not to get mad at him but I really am becoming impatient. Should I email him again?
So...I'm a little on edge today...stuff at work and other things. SO I am going to post the last day which is sad but might make me feel better (I hope)
Day 11 (last day
)
So this morning we woke up super early. We needed to get our bags down to the airport check in and held before we could head off to do our Keys to the Kingdom tour. This is how it looked early in the morning from our balcony
So we checked our bags in and got our tickets and such. This was a pretty easy process! I was impressed. Then we got our bags held and given a claim ticket. Then we were free to take on the MK one last time.
We headed over on the bus. It was early enough that there was no one around. I'm pretty sure we were alone on the bus.
We hung around not sure if we could go in yet because everyone was talking about breakfast and not tours....soon we were let in though and we found a wonderful site! A practically deserted main street! Photos were a must.
Someone saw us and offered to take our photo
I really like this one so i'm glad they did!!
that pink group behind DH would drive us nuts later in the day....but not now! we were too happy to be in a pretty empty MK
So we checked in with our tour, we were asked what we wanted for lunch and then given our name tags and badges. We were given free coffee and water
Which made me happy and I took some water for the rest of the tour. We were also given radios and head sets.
We just hung around and waited for everyone to show up.
I look so tired in this photo...oh well.
So I'm not going to spoil this tour for anyone else. We did really enjoy it. We got to ride Jungle Cruise, Pirates and Haunted Mansion. Because of the head sets we could be far from our tour guide and still know what was going on which was nice. We had Lunch at Columbia Harbour House. (YUM)
We both really enjoyed the tour....a lot of the stuff we did know because we have both read Walt's Biography and researched Disney world to death...but we still had fun. It was cool going back stage and all.
Us with our tour guide.
So after our tour ended at about 12:30. We needed to leave around 2:30-3 to get back in time Magical Express
We hit up our favorites trying to soak it in. BTM and Space of course (our other favorites we went on in the tour) On the way over to BTM the Volunteer parade was starting.....and I had two people I needed to see before we left (we always seemed to miss this parade)
I really love the muppets and wish there was more with them in the parks and parades.
This is how close I was to getting my goal of a photo with the white rabbit...
but the line was so long and we didn't really have time...
So to end the day we took the train around one last time. We spotted an armadillo near the train (I LOVE them) and we also got a peek at the construction.
I really wanted a photo in front of the train station but every time we were out front there were never any photopass photographers there. I saw this one from the train and dragged DH there.
Then we took the sad boat back. I was pouty and sad. We arrived back at WL earlier then expected (DH is always afraid we are going to miss the bus..) So we grabbed some food at Roaring Forks. We still had so much food credits and snack credits. we got our fill and pouted some more. Talked about how we could come back for my birthday in December (before we really figured the $ out...) Then we decided at 3:30 we really needed to sit out front and wait for the bus.
I was very determined to take lots of pictures....gripping onto the last bits of our wonderful honeymoon..

So apparently Chicago was having these crazy thunderstorm and tornadoes? We were stranded in the airport for like 6 hours.....to which I was moaning that we could have stayed at MK!!! 
which annoyed DH...a lot. Then when we finally got on our plane...I passed out, waking up to us landing.....only for DH to say no....go back to sleep...we are it St. Louis 
pardon? They didn't put enough gas in the airplane!!!! Well done Southwest....glad you were so prepared! haha. We ended up getting home at 4-5am(the sun was rising). Our original flight has us arriving at 9:15pm. Craziness. 
You can see it on your faces that you don't want to go home, and I know the feeling lol It looks like you had a great time on your trip though, lots of great memories! I am glad to hear that you liked the KTTW tour - I have thought about doing it, but never have.

It's over!!! *pout*
for the other photos though...that guy needs to get his act together...
