The Friendship boats were just opening so we took one across to Morocco again. Im not sure if I took this next picture from the boat or after we got off. As you can see, a few clouds had drifted in at this point.
So by now you may have guessed where we were headed. Yep, I was going back to Japan to try Pick a Pearl again. I figured that I had to get a small enough one in three tries! We were the only ones in the store that early in the morning. It was kind of strange because Ive never been in there when its not crowded. So what did I get this time? A 7 ½ mm pearl. Still too big for the necklace! I just had to laugh at that point. I didnt do anything with this pearl either. So in summary I got the first pearl made into a necklace but the other two I still have just in the bag. I think when we go back in Feb 2014 I will bring them and have Mom help me pick a setting for them.
When we finished in Japan, we started to think about lunch. Neither of us was really hungry yet but we had one more counter service credit left. We stopped at the Liberty Inn at the American Pavilion but nothing jumped out at us so we moved on.
We stopped in Germany because I wanted to take one more look in the glass store. Because I didnt get my necklace, I had some money left on a gift card so I finally picked out a glass Pluto to bring home. Since we are almost to the end of this TR, youll get to see all of my souvenirs soon.
We talked about taking the boat from Germany back to Future World but one just left so we kept walking. We debated a margarita in Mexico but the line was really long so we skipped. Mom and I are definitely going to get one next February!
We also checked out the menu for La Hacienda de San Angel. Mom wanted to eat there but unfortunately there was nothing on the menu that I liked. So we headed back into Future World.
So where did we end up for our last Disney meal?
Yep, the Electric Umbrella. We had discussed Sunshine Seasons but were worried that it would be really crowded and we were on a time schedule that day. Mom got a Vegetable Flatbread:
And I got chicken tenders and fries:
I had been determined to go the whole week without eating chicken tenders but the only other thing on the menu I would eat was a burger. I was just not in the mood at that moment for a burger. For dessert, Mom got a fruit cup and I got chocolate chip cookies:
It took forever to get our food but that was because they make the flatbread to order. It turned out though that Mom didnt like her flatbread at all. The sauce was way too spicy for her. She picked at it but luckily neither of us was very hungry. She mostly ate her fruit for lunch. I ate about half of my chicken tenders which were really good. I tucked the cookies down in my bag and ended up eating them on the plane home. They werent bad but Ive had much better ones at Disney.
While we were eating, it started raining outside. But by the time we finished it had stopped. It was cloudy now and a bit chilly but still nice.
If you remember, we each had one snack credit left so we decided to get one more Mickey ice cream. I got my usual sandwich and Mom got a bar. And for the third time I didnt take pictures. We sat on one of the stone benches near the fountain and just soaked up the last few minutes we had at Disney while we ate our ice cream.
When we finished Mom thought I needed to see Pluto again but the line for the Character Spot was too long so we just headed out to the front.
We were trying to delay our departure so we stopped at two different PP photographers for some pictures:
Finally we had to head out. I think it was about 1:30 pm. Our ME bus was picking us up at 2:55 pm and I wanted to make sure we had plenty of time to get back to the resort. Of course a bus came immediately. We got off at the Barbados stop and walked over to the Custom House. We were really early but I picked up our carry-on bags and we found a bench to sit on until the bus came.
Our ride to the airport was uneventful. Moms flight was before mine so I went to her gate until she boarded and then went to mine. When I got on the plane, there was a little girl and Mom in the same row. The little girl was sitting in my seat (I always get a window seat) but the Mom insisted that C was the window seat. I knew very well that A was the window seat but I wasnt going to make a little girl give up the window so I just took the aisle.
I spent the trip home catching up on my trip journal as I had been very bad about writing it during the trip. DH picked me up at the airport and we were home in no time. I pretty much went straight to bed after making sure that Mom made it home.
Well, thats sort of the end. Im going to do two more posts, one with all the souvenirs I bought and one recapping the resort and restaurants. After those two I may start a PTR for my October trip. Im not sure Ill do that yet since I have another TR going and writing two threads at once is a lot of work!

Nice stuff.
