Departure Day Part 1: Breakfast at Boma

It was the last day in Orlando and you could tell we were tired after a week in the heat. But I was excited about breakfast at Boma. 

You have to love all the details that Disney puts into its resorts. When you walk in the lobby you feel like you are in Africa. 

Boma!!! Hubby and I ate here for dinner many, many years ago. 

Boma has many of the traditional foods you are use to seeing at a breakfast buffet, but with a slight twist! 

Breakfast was soo good. 

You can't eat a Disney meal without a Mickey pancake. The Lion King one was pretty cute as well. 

Our reservations were really early that morning so the restaurant was not crowded at all. 

I am kicking myself for not remembering our servers name or taking a photo with him because he was fantastic. He recommended this bread pudding to Marc that he promised would become a favorite. Although I did not eat any (I am not a fan of puddings) my husband and daughter loved it. Hubby is a bit of a baker and after our server found out he liked to bake, he offered to get him a copy of the recipe. 

Also, when he found out our daughter was celebrating her birthday he brought her a special cupcake to celebrate with. He told us what Vier meant but I for the life of me I cannot remember (SMH). 

This was the moment when my husband said the next time we come back here you have to make reservations at Boma again. The fact that he said again......I consider that an invitation to book another trip (and if you follow me on YouTube you know its already a done deal). LOL 

I didn't want to admit it but I was tired that day. The heat and the pace we were going at was starting to wear me down. Honestly? If money was no object I would have stayed longer. LOL 

Marc and I decided to take a stroll around the grounds before we headed back to the All Star resorts to check out. 

Although Animal Kingdom Lodge is not on my top ten list of resorts to stay at, I do love the theme of the resort and I always enjoy visiting there when we are at WDW. 

If they still offer a tour of the resort on our next trip I would really like to go back and explore some more of the grounds and the building. The animals were not out that day so maybe we will catch them on the next trip. 

We left the lodge, headed back to the All Star resorts to picked up our luggage and headed to Disney Springs one last time. Stay tuned. Next week, we take a stroll through Disney Springs one last time! 

Final Park Day: Part 5

We were only a few hours away from saying goodbye to my favorite place to be and I did not want to leave. On the list of places to see that I didn't get a chance to see all week was Enchanted Tales With Belle. We checked the Disney App and the wait wasn't very long so we said why not!

It really is a cute show, especially if you have children. They get a chance to play an important part in the performance. 

Of course you can't end a trip at Disney without staying to see Happily Ever After! This time we watched from the front of the park. It had been a few years since I watched a fireworks show on main street. I kind of forgot how crowded it could be. And we won't even talk about how rude people have become. Half way through the show I gave the family the signal that I was ready to leave. 

I took one last photo of the castle before heading back to our car. 

Might as well fill that popcorn bucket up one last time. We also stopped at the hall to grab a few more buttons and then we finally said goodbye....see you real soon! 

Love the look of the Train station at night! 

As we headed towards the ferry we caught a glimpse of the water pageant parade. Got to love that Disney Magic. 

We headed back to the resort to pack our bags. But just before heading to the room we stopped at the food court to grab a late night snack. It had been a long day in the park, but a good one. Stay tuned next week as we wrap up the trip with breakfast at Bomas at the beautiful Animal Kingdom Lodge (and one last trip to Disney Springs)! Can you tell I have a hard time leaving? LOL
