We arrived at Pop and headed in and the kids went off to play in the TV room. There was no one in either line to check in but wed checked in online so we headed there.
We checked in together since we had linked our reservations and were hoping for joining rooms. Well we lucked out because we were given joining rooms (requested) in building 3 (requested) on the lake side (requested). I got room 3320 and Tracy got room 3321. They gave us our room keys and packages and birthday buttons and we were done.
Great line mojo we had going so far. Arianas birthday button was cute with the mickey head dotting the I but it proved to be a difficult thing for most people to read and I changed it as the week went on.
I tried to get a pic of Emmas birthday button but for some reason I couldnt get a good one so I figured it was the lighting and I would get one later.
Now the plan for this day was to eat and swim, but since it was raining we had to change our plans so we started with going to the room and taking some pics before going to eat. We got to the room and I started taking pics but they werent turning out very good.
Then I figured it out, my flash was broken and wouldnt stay up so the flash wouldnt flash. Great now how was I going to fix this. I looked around and saw the Kleenex box (light bulb) I folded up a tissue and stuck it underneath the flash so it would stay up and it worked!!! It might look silly but it works and thats all that matters!
Entering my room, the kids were going bonkers running around everywhere and I snapped one or two pictures off before casually asking Demetri where Lady was.
After our Lady and the Tramp movie night, Demetri had grown very fond of our Lady stuffy, even making a bed for her out of a cardboard box to keep in his room. Well after a moment or two of wide eyed wonder on his face, he realized he didnt have her anymore and shed been left on the Magical Express bus. The next twenty minutes was spent calling the front desk and being transferred many, many times before creating a claim to try and recover Lady from the ME bus. (Sadly, she wasnt turned in and didnt come home with us. I think for Christmas I will buy him a new Lady stuffy and wrap her in a hat box with a bow under the tree.)
After all that we made our way to Everything Pop for some dinner. I had been waiting all day to try the Moms night out meatloaf and I have to say it was ok but I was not in a rush to try it again.
I didnt know what I was going to have until I was standing in the food court. In the end I chose the nachos and cheese which was pretty boring. Demetri ended up eating some of Natalies green beans after his chicken nugget kids meal.
After we ate we headed back to the room and hoped our luggage had arrived so we could unpack, unfortunately it hadnt. Shortly after we got there though, there was a knock on the door and we each got one of our suitcases so we started unpacking. Shortly after that there was another knock and the rest of our luggage had arrived.
We unpacked all our stuff and decorated our windows.
Natalie was sweet to share her window decorations with me. I just realized that I left it all there!
Then at 10pm I decided it was time for bed so we could get started bright and early in the morning.
Both of my kids are thrashers in their sleep and I hadnt been looking forward at all to sharing a bed with either of them. Id brought an air mattress with the intention of having Demetri use it so we all had our own space, but realized I hadnt packed enough D-size batteries for the pump. I think it was Natalies suggestion to use the comforters off of both beds, folded on the floor, and with extra pillows and blankets we created a third bed. It worked out perfectly and with that, after posting our picture itinerary on the wall, it was off to Neverland for us too. We had a rope drop to get rested up for!

I know what that feels like. I loved my plushies when I was a kid. I think the idea of buying a new one and packaging her like the movie would be awesome!
Luckily Demetri was distracted enough throughout the week that it was only once in a while he missed Lady. 
That is one fun thing about values and mods, the outside window that you can decorate. Miss that now that we're DVC, it's just not the same on the balcony door.
Your idea to wrap it in hat box with the bow is too cute. 
They look really nice as well.
Great window decorations - love them!
We once left it at my Moms house and I had to drive back late at night to pick it up. 
, but we got better.
I'm gonna go check out your TR
It was a good arrival day except for poor Lady.
