November 8th Ohana Breakfast Downtown Disney and Checkout

Got most of the bags packed before we had to leave in the morning. So that was a help. We had to be at the bus stop by 7am so we could get to the Polynesian for the Ohana breakfast. Now this isn't my favorite meal by far because I am not a breakfast person. So I was very very hungry when I got done.
When we where done there we headed out front and caught the bus to Downtown Disney. The guys went to the lego store to build mini figures while I tried to sort out why I was having a problem with Disney Bags paying for my luggage. They kept saying my credit card was denied even though it clearly was fine with money and in order etc. Seems they didn't have my info all in the system right so thats why it was bouncing it out.
After Lego we stopped at Goofys candy company and finished up our snack credits on fudge, marshmellows, strawberries and pretzel sticks. Yum.. well worth the credits.. we still have fudge left.. yummmmy.
We had to head back to the room then because the latest check out we could get was 1pm. So we got our stuffed packed and left Alex in the room while we headed down to check our bags. Credit card scanned fine with no problem and fees where paid bags checked. Then we headed to the room and rested til about 1245 til we had to check out. Took our carry-ons down to Pop and found a table with nice cushy benches to sit down at and chill. After we did that Alex stayed with the stuff while Jason and I did the check out process. Then I sat down on the bench with our stuff while Alex and Jason went and played in the arcade. Then we got something to eat around 130. Cause we still had like 8 meal credits left.. lol. Then we chilled. Talked and hung out for awhile. Alex wandered around trading pins with castmembers in the store and Jason and I just hung at the table. Around 5 we got more quick service meals ate fast and then headed out to the bus for pick up at 5:45. We ended up not leaving until 615 but we had plenty of time so it was ok. Rode the express to the airport. Since the bags where already checked we just checked out the stores. Earport etc for a while. Had Alex take his bedtime meds and then headed through security. They where a bit of a pain in the butt this time. They have to scan Alex's cast seperately and kept pulling him away from us instead of letting him know what was going on like pitt does.. Then they decide to do a random screening on Jason and left me locked behind the security door which freaked Alex out and he was getting teary. After that was over we got him calmed in about 15 minutes and headed to our gate to wait. Wasnt too long of a wait and he played while we did. Flight only had 26 people on it so that was nice. Not too many people trying to get on at once. No real rush. The flight was uneventful and the view as always was nice. All those pretty lights in the citys are so nice to look at. Slept for a bit and before we knew it we where landing in Pittsburgh.
Got our luggage, called the lot our car was at and headed to the doors for pickup. They where already there waiting. Loaded us up and off we went. The lot is valet so they had the car already up front and headed and waiting for us when we got there.. All told maybe 5 minutes from arriving at the lot til we where on the road. It was great. The drive was good. No traffic from the Steelers game since it wasn't quite over yet before we got out of Pitt. It had been a long day though so about 45 miles from home we pulled over for a quick nap and 30 minutes later we where back on our way home. Got here around 3:30. Cleaned up after the cats as best we could. They made a heck of a mess of paper and stuff .. but all told it was ok.. Sorted some of the mail and then we both headed to bed. Alex slept the whole trip and was only awake long enough to walk in the house. So there ends our Disney trip. We have a lot of laundry and unpacking to do. A lot of pictures to print out but other than that we are home and done. Alex went back to school today and now he is off for a 4 day holiday weekend. lol.
