Good morning.
This looks to be another gorgeous, clear, sunny day at the Most Magical Place on Earth. This will be our last full day here at WDW. We leave mid afternoon tomorrow.
We will be touring the Epcot resorts this morning, before going to Epcot to do a few attractions. We have a dinner reservation at Trails Ends at Wilderness Campgrounds, and will then tour the holiday decorations made by guests staying there. We couldn't do that last Monday because it was raining.
Can't believe our week here is almost over!

We had just finished packing most of our stuff. Definitely need the duffle bag to hold stuff that we bought.
Had a wonderful time at the campgrounds. Will post later of the electric carts parade.
We will spend the morning at DAK tomorrow before making our way to the airport early afternoon.

Great trip report ZZ!! I'm sorry yours is coming to an end. Mine will begin in four weeks and all your pictures have only increased the anticipation. Have you started planning the next one? 
Sun, 12/14/2014 - 03:06
Very good report Zz, safe travels home!
Sun, 12/14/2014 - 04:13
Loved reading your live report! Safe travels tomorrow and can't wait for more picture 
Sun, 12/14/2014 - 13:09
Thanks everyone. We are doing last-minute packing before we leave our room this morning. I can't believe everything fits into the two luggages and the duffle bag and still be under 50 lbs each!

Unfortunately, we haven't. There is a group of friends going in June next year, but we haven't decided yet if we will join them. At this point, we are also considering using some of our DVC points and converting them to a week with RCI and using them for a non-Disney vacation. Shocking, I know.

I'm still trying to recover from the trip. Had to go into work yesterday and it was rough!
So here's another brief report. This one is on the Haunted Mansion-related items that we bought. That Momento Mori store is DANGEROUS! I collect the Hitchhiking Ghosts, so that will explain a couple of the items that I bought here.
This one is an action figure set of the Hitchhiking Ghosts. It glows in the dark!
This is an ornament set. As soon as I finish posting this, I'm taking them out of the box and hanging them on the Disney tree.
This last one is an ornament set of the singing busts. I couldn't resist it. They too will go on the tree as soon as I finish this.

Aw I didn't see the singing busts when we were there but if I had I definitely would have bought them. So cool!

The one that we got, i.e. the busts, we're not at Momento Mori, but rather at the Bay View gift store at the Contemporary. Go figure! They did not have the identical item at Momento Mori because I checked.
I should also show you the Haunted Mansion napkins that I bought, but they are in the washer right now. I got those at the Co-Op marketplace. Can I just say that that store is extremely dangerous to my credit card? Holy cow!!!

Omg the Centerpiece store in the Co-op seriously tested my resolve. I was planning whole room remodels and designs just from one step in that place.

I mentioned earlier of the Haunted Mansion napkins that I found at the Co-op Marketplace. Here it is!
I couldn't resist it since it featured the Hitchhiking Ghosts prominently.
I hope to use the napkins next year during Halloween.

Zapper you are quite correct about the Co-Op store. We were in there also just a few weeks ago and need I tell you there is a crap load of Tiki stuff coming home in January with us!

Hey everyone,
I haven't finished with posting on this trip report yet, and intend to continue soon. It has been a tumultuous few weeks. I had to go out of the country unexpectedly over the holidays because my dad was not doing too well. A couple of days ago, just a week after I came back home, he passed away.
I'm doing fine and just need some time to get back into the spirit of things.
Zz.
