It sounds like your day rounded out to be such a magical dose of the holidays!
That was a little bit of a weird ending to the CP but I guess its not Disney if they aren't trying to sell you on something (both literally and figuratively.)
Illuminations doesn't do it for me like Wishes does but I definitely think it's visually stunning and I love when they light all the pavilions up at the end.

How great you got to see NPH, he seems like a great guy.
it's just a drain, but I'm a trooper and I power through. After Epcot we had both gone to bed around 11pm, but I tossed and turned until 3am before waking to the alarm at 7am. Yikes. I really wanted to get to the opening ceremony, so I made DH hustle and we were at the bus stop within 20 min. But... the bus was not so accommodating. We never had too bad of a time with our busses until this morning. 
(more on that later). 
It was only a little after 9am by this point and DH was getting a little hungry, so we popped into Gaston's Tavern for some LeFou's brew and a chocolate croissant. As we were sitting there, DH told me that his feet felt a little sore. I'm pretty used to this complaint in Disney and usually he just needs to overcome the day of minor pain and life goes on. I told him we could power through the morining, have lunch, and then head back to the hotel for a rest before the Christmas Party. It'd be ok. 
I hate when he does that, but I figured I'd rise above it and tackled both mountains myself. I walked back to my DH who had been watching and waiting patiently and found it was just before 11am. He told me that his feet were killing him and he didn't want to walk anymore. With some hustle, I was able to change our BOG FP+ lunch reservation time from 12:30pm to 11:15am (Disney magic? 
) and thought maybe a full meal might perk him up. 
Regardless, we put our orders in for the braised beef (me) and the pork sandwich (DH) and then found a place to sit after filling our drinks. DH was confused how they would find us for our food, so I explained the little sensor in the table that probably read our bands with the FP+. He was pretty amused by it. 
(cheering up!? YES!). We sat in the ballroom and ate. The food was AMAZING. I let DH have 1/4 of my meal because I ate most of his fries anyway. Afterwards, as promised, we left the park for an afternoon rest. 
Glad he's ok and everything is worked out now with the car. Once you determine you're ok, dealing with getting a new car/car fixed is SUCH a PITA 
It was really gross to see and looked awful. I gave DH some bandaids and some lotion to wrap up and moisturize his feet while I headed to the AKL gift shop for some of the most expensive Mole Skin packs I have purchase. I knew I should have bought some prior to our departure. I also grabbed some medical tape to see if I could pad whatever it was in the shoe that was catching on his toe. Back in the hotel I got to work on his shoes and he got to work on the feet. After a good 20 min, he was walking in shoes around the hotel room with little issue that he could tell. I felt hopeful and sat back to read while DH napped. 
And I admittedly can't find our ride photo from MM. Anyway! We had some time to kill, so DH and I walked back to Main Street for some MM photos with the pre-lit castle. 
And while it stinks that your DH was having feet issues, I feel for you too - because I've been there!
