Girls Trip Day 4: Ferry Rides, a Letdown Cinnamon Roll, and One Last Dole Whip

Last days are usually sad, but this one started out fun for Stacey and me! Since we had annual passes, we decided to wake up and go have coffee on Main Street. It is so wonderful to have the freedom to just dip into the parks whenever you want and not have to worry about the price of admission.

Coffee on Main Street

It was chilly this morning, more so than the other three days of our trip. But regardless, we decided to take the ferry to Magic Kingdom. I love taking the ferry. Floating along on a boat is the most amazing feeling, especially at Disney! We sat inside, so it wasn't cold at all, and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Once we got to Starbucks, it was quite a long line, like always. While we were in line, I remembered there was a new cinnamon roll in Frontierland that I wanted to try.

A So-So New Cinnamon Roll

For an extra protein boost, we decided to split the egg white and turkey sausage English muffin, and then also share the pecan bacon and caramel sauce cinnamon roll.

Walking down Main Street with no agenda or need to be on a ride felt amazing! We got the cinnamon roll and found a bench on the patio walkway. I was super excited about it. The unique combination of pecans and bacon in a caramel sauce was intriguing, but honestly, I should have known better.

For some reason it wasn't flavorful at all. You couldn't taste the pecans or the bacon. The caramel sauce was delicious, and the cinnamon roll was a bit dry on the outside, but fluffy and delicious on the inside.

Anyway, after this, our friends were still not ready to leave the hotel room, so we took full advantage of our extra time in the park and took more magic photos, then rode Little Mermaid and the People Mover. What an amazing morning!

Checking Out the Poly Tower

Around 11:00, we walked back over to the Grand Floridian and met up with our friends. It took us about twenty to twenty five minutes. It was cold, so we were walking a bit faster than normal.

We shopped the gift shops and were going to grab lunch at the quick service, but nothing seemed all that appealing. We then walked back to the new Poly Tower and checked out the art and architecture there. That was beautiful! Every detail was thought of, and everything has a meaning. It's a modern take on Polynesia, but it's absolutely stunning.

We checked out the Wailulu Grill, but it was a little pricey for our crew and the menu was very limited. We have it on our agenda to try at some point!

Lunch at Captain Cook's and One Last Dole Whip

We walked back to Captain Cook's and ordered lunch there again. My friend and I split the amazing and delicious super foods salad and the noodles with chicken. The other two ladies got the spicy Korean chicken bowl.

We had a bit of time to kill, so we hung out in the lobby for a while, did some shopping, traded some pins, and talked to people. One of the ladies asked, "What is the ice cream that everyone keeps getting? Where are they getting it?" And we said, "The Dole Whip!" We took her promptly to the Dole Whip window outside the lobby at the Poly.

• She got pineapple
• My friend and I shared the coconut

It is so delicious, a favorite for sure, and yes, my friend loved hers too.

After the Dole Whip, we loaded up in the car and made it back to the airport for our flight, just in time for it to be delayed. Gotta love MCO.
