We didn't really plan a time to get up on Sunday so we all had a little bit of a lie in before heading to the French Quarter for breakfast. We also went to the pool there since it was Mardi Gras themed and looked pretty cool. The first thing we all did was go down the slide and then spent some time in the water. We then played name that tune where our team was called the scottish burds but I don't think the recreation guy really got it but he played Scotland the brave for us which was pretty cool. 

So on the Saturday morning Eilidh, Julia and I had planned to get up bright and early to head to Universal however that did not happen. This was the first time we had all slept in a decent bed in just over 2 months so when the alarm went off to get up we did not want to move. I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud compared to the bed I had at Vista. I kept pressing snooze until I turned it off completely. A hour or two passed until we head a knock on the door, Eilidh got up and it was the housekeeper so she asked if they could come back later and we then took that as the sign to get up and ready. We went to the food-court for breakfast where I got pancakes and then we got a taxi to Universal. We arrived around 12 so decided to go to Universal first as we knew Harry Potter would be busy anyways so there wasn't much point rushing to go there first! We joined the single rider queue for the new Transformers ride as I hadn't done it yet, we only waited around 10 mins which was good considering how long the regular queue was. It's very similar to spider man but I love spider-man so I really enjoyed it. Once we got out of Transformers the Blues Brothers were just about to start to we stuck around to watch that before going on the Mummy and then Disaster. Eilidh got picked to be a villain on Disaster which was cool. After that we did the Simpsons, ET and rip ride rock-it which we actually got to ride again cos our video didn't work when we went to watch it so the woman offered us a re-ride so we got to skip to the front of the queue! We then headed to IOA where we did hulk, jurassic, forbidden journey, flight of the hippogriff, dragon challenge, spiderman and then the hulk again in the dark which was pretty cool. As we were leaving to get a taxi back to the hotel one of the workers stopped Eilidh and I and asked if my parents were picking me up. When we told her we were 22 and 20 she said 'you sure don't look it'. God knows what age she thought we were but it was so bizarre.

Friday was a very emotional day, the night before I could barely sleep and was wide awake from around 5.30 on Friday morning. I ended up getting up when Olivia did at around 6 so I could help them pack the car etc. Lia also came over before work so she could say bye. I felt totally fine packing the car but as soon as it came to hugging Lauren and Olivia goodbye I cracked and just burst into tears. Since they left so early I tried to go back to bed but I couldn't sleep so I ended up just sitting in the living room on my laptop until Kailyn got up. Once Kailyn left, I was the only one in the apartment which was very strange considering the 5 of them were already there when I moved in so I had never seen it empty. I got pretty emotional when I was myself but once I started to get ready to leave I was ok. I went and handed in my key and housing ID before catching a bus to Chatham. The bus driver wasn't for letting me on the bus with my luggage but thankfully he did. Once at Chamtham I met Eilidh, Julia and Maeghan at the bus stop and caught the D bus to our resort. While on the bus we realised that Julia had booked one room at Riverside and Eilidh had booked the other at French Quarter, we decided to all head to Riverside and just play dumb and wait and see what would happen.

Luck was on our side as after a lengthly check-in, we got an upgrade to a Royal guest room in order to get adjoining rooms! The rooms were amazing, they were princess themed and honestly the cutest room I'd ever seen! After running around screaming for a good hour as we found all the hidden disney things in the room we headed out to Hollywood Studios. We got tower of terror FPS before watching Beauty and the Beast and then Indiana Jones. We rode star tours, used our ToT FPs and single rode rockin' roller-coaster before finishing off with some ice-cream from scoops. We then got the boat that went to Epcot but ended up getting off at the Boardwalk to have little wander around before walking the rest of the way to Epcot. We also rode Test Track as I really wanted to do it one last time, we got into the line just as it hit 9 but luckily they let us in :D It was a really nice last day in the Disney Parks.

our amazing room!

the tap was the genies lamp!!

the magic carpet!!

Thursday was our very last full day as CPs, I got up around 9.30 to finish off most of my packing and then Olivia, Kailyn and I went to return our costumes. Olivia and I headed to Epcot as she wanted to meet Belle and I fancied doing Test Track again. When we got there the Test Track queue was huge so we headed to France to see about meeting Belle, we saw that we only had half an hour til her set so we watched the street show before getting in line to meet her. Unfortunately the park went 101 so we ended up not meeting her, after the rain we went to the American pavilion to get funnel cake. We headed for MK and the monorail and realised we basically did nothing in Epcot even though we spent a couple of hours there. Once we got to MK we met Lauren who was with her sister and mum and we managed to catch the last number of Dream Along with Mickey.  We all did Phillhar Magic and then Lauren, Olivia and I did enchanted tales so I could get a pic with the wardrobe and Ollie could meet Belle. Lauren and her family then headed to Hollywood studios so Ollivia and I got food at Cosmics before doing Haunted Mansion and Magic Carpets. We then met Kaylin, Lia and Tierra at Sleepy Hollow so we could go get a spot for Celebrate the Magic and Wishes. I thought I would have been really emotional watching the fireworks for the last time but I held it together. After Wishes we met Veronica so we could say goodbye. We then headed home making a stop at taco bell on the way. Once we got to Vista we finished packing and then basically gave everything we weren't taking to Lia and her new roomies. Before heading to bed we also sat and coloured from the colouring book that had been in the apartment and put them on Lia's new fridge. I was happy to spend the day and night with my roomies. I really am going to miss living with them all!!

My last shift at Magic was the Wednesday before my programme ended and it turned out to be a great wee shift. I was parade vending (selling ice-cream which was cool as I sold that on my first ever parade shift) and I worked the usual 1.30 to 10.45 shift. Ice-cream carts are always easier and quicker to load so I was out in the park just after 2 so I headed to the castle for the 2.15 Dream Along with Mickey show. I ended up just staying in the same spot for the 3 o'clock parade so I got to see the parade one last time. I then took a little walk into Fantasyland since its my favourite and then headed back to the castle again for the 4.15 castle show and also ended up staying for the 5.15 show too! On my way to the 4.15 show I was stopped by a family on the fantasyland bridge who bought almost $40 worth of ice creams from me and we were chatting for a while and saw I was from Scotland and they even got a picture with me and took one of my name tag. Then later when I was heading backstage I bumped into them again. At lunch the register in the mousketeeria was not accepting cards and I only had $5 so I ended up getting free fries which was nice. After my break I restocked and headed out by club 626 dance party and danced to the cupid shuffle before heading back to Main Street for the parade route. We basically headed straight back stage after the parade to unload and bank out. The GTs were on break so we couldn't fully bank out so Jane and I headed out to MSB just in time for Wishes where on the way out I heard someone shout my name, I turned round and it was the family from earlier on in the day waving at me and said bye to me which was sweet. Wishes was great as per usual and it was my last time seeing it while getting paid. I said bye to some of the vendors out there before heading back in to bank out. I wrote my goodbye note for the notice board and said all my goodbyes. The hardest one was probably Katie who was actually on break when I was leaving so I went to find her and ended up sitting for a good 20 mins chatting before leaving. She cried which made me feel a bit misty eyed as I was leaving. Once I got back to Vista, Lia, Kalyn, Olivia and I along with Lias new roommates all went to ihop at like 1am for pancakes making it a good wee ending to the day of my last shift.
