Day Sixteen - Going Home

We didn’t have anything planned today other than going home so we go up and made a start on our packing. We got it all packed up and loaded into the car before heading over the Food court for the last time. We had a good breakfast and used up a few more of our snack credits on some bits for the journey home and to give as presents when we got home.

We spent a while in the arcade area as we still had money left on our card. We ended up with allsorts of prizes after we “spent” all our winning tickets! More stuff to try and cram into our luggage!

We said our final goodbyes to Pop Century and then headed over to Downtown Disney to do our Check in for the flight. Unfortunately we hadn’t read the details properly so were just a bit too late for check in. They gave us some vouchers to spend on board and managed to check our seats were together but they couldn’t take our bags. We had to cram them back into the car again!

We then headed round to the other side of Downtown Disney and headed to Wulfgang Puck for some lunch as it was by now about 2pm. Why did we not discover this place before now? The food was gorgeous and the best value counter service meal we had! This one is top of our list for our next trip!

We had a look around a few shops and then it was time for us to head back to the airport to drop off our car.

We checked in with no problems and killed a bit of time in the airport looking round the shops etc. We had a bite to eat at Burger King (I think) before heading to our departure gate.


Our flight was due to leave at 20.55. The flight was delayed for about an hour where we started to stress a little bit about the short time we had in Manchester Airport to change terminals and check in again for our connecting flight.

We boarded the flight and all went smoothly. The boys slept a big chunk of the way home but I can never sleep on a flight.

Luckily we had the wind behind us so we made up the time that we had been delayed so were scheduled to land on time/slightly early.

It all went a bit wrong though on the descent as Freddie claimed to not feel well. No signs of any sick bags and no way of getting any as the air stewardesses were all strapped in by now ready for landing. He was luckily only sick a little bit and we managed to mop it up etc with tissues & babywipes (tissues passed to us by helpful passengers nearby). In the meantime I haven’t noticed Tommy turning a nice shade of green and with no warning he was then sick all down himself. Luckily I had a spare t-shirt but it wasn’t a nice experience! Freddie has been known to be travel sick on a ferry but I have never seen Tommy to suffer before now. We were seated right at the back of the plane and put it down to this.

We got off the plane fairly promptly and managed to get our luggage picked up and made our way across the airport to change terminals. We had to get on a bus to get to the other terminal and when we stepped outside it was so windy and cold! A big shock to the system!

We got checked in with Flybe and had an uneventful flight home to the Isle of Man (luckily no more sick!!) Arriving home in the Isle of Man at 12.30pm

To sum up we had a fantastic holiday and have booked to go again this October!
