Yoo Hoo, Disney EchoEars!
Continuing with a series of WDW trip reports from my friend Bruce Metcalf...
Metcalfs @ WDW day 18
It arrives at last, as every trip must, at the last full day.  I wear my
new dancing Tigger shirt to remind me that I'm having a great time.
Breakfast at the Coral Isle Cafe--again.  Did I mention that we really like
the cast here?  Apparently, so do others.  Our repast was interuppted when
a half-dozen CMs came marching in with what I estimate to be about two
dozen pizzas as their reward for getting the largest number of favorable
comments on the menu cards.  (You do know that those little cards that come
with the check and tell you about payment methods and tipping have comment
cards on the back, right?)
To the Magic Kingdom, and the last few attractions we haven't yet done.
SWMBO still refuses to go on the Teacups, but we've done pretty much
everything else here we want to. 
By monorail to Epcot, where a little photography, a couple of attractions,
and to Japan for a teppanyaki style dinner with six unsuspecting guests.
As expected, edible food, a less-than-stellar performance by our cook (who
talked about retirement next year), and good conversation with a group from
Pittsburgh who I don't think belived we had been there that long.
Back to MK by boat from IG to Yacht Club and bus to the MK gate, just in
time for the SpectroMagic parade, an ice cream cone, and the fireworks
display.
It was a melancholy pair who rode the little launch back to the Polynesian
and our car, past King Triton's Electrical Water Pageant.  (We may be
melancholy, but we still have good timing!)  This final night, the crowds
on Main Street are starting to get us testy with their jostling and
ankle-ramming (please, let's not start another stroller flame war--but it
does happen).  Perhaps it *is* time for us to return to civilization...  Nah!
One last breakfast in the morning on our way home, then back to work on
Thursday.  I'll post a final summary in a day or two to wrap things up,
then all you lurkers out there can let me know what you think.
