It'll be my third POP stay! I LOVE the resort!!! I'm a huge nostalgia nut! First on property stay for darling fiance and my service dog Disney. They're both excited about Disney!
As far as this back and forth weather, wish it would make up its mind! Please warmth come soon!!!
I LOVE Pop too! I've actually only ever stayed at one other Disney resort which was The Beach Club - and that trip was NOT on my dime
!
It's looking like the warmth is finally here to stay ... although you never know with Michigan. Sixties one day and a blizzard the next is not unheard of...
Ooooh this is the day... this is the day...
So love the morning show. I don't always succeed, but I try to see it at least once per trip.
Crowds.
Wow, knocking off all the rides. Gotta love January.
Hey, I will give you props for admitting you like IaSM. That's not an easy thing to admit.
Awww , that is a great photo looking at the castle. Precious.
The welcome show...ah. I think I watch it way too much on YouTube. And I definitely don't cry when I do, that would be weird...
IASW...I feel like standing up and saying "Hi, my name is Candace and I ride IASW MULTIPLE times on every trip. AND I like it." ... "Hi Candace..."
We have that photo of us looking at the castle framed in our living room...in a Mickey picture frame of course.
Hi Candace, just caught up and can't wait for more
Though, a MSU fan? Eww
U of M all the way.
Your videos of arriving are super cute.
RR sounds like an awesome dinner experience.
Brownie paws need to be served at demand no matter what time of day, if you ask me.
Yak and Yeti QS is difficult to spot. I know Marie and I walked past it on our last trip a couple of timess before finding it.
Ugh people who ruin pictures are the worst.
AKL is beautiful, I need to see it in person sometime.
Christmas decorations at MK are the best, I'm glad they were still up for you.
Your ear picture in front of the Castle is beautiful
I know I know...I get the MSU hatred from so many friends and family members all the time
And they all make fun of me when I continue to root for MSU even though I went to grad school at U of M. My loyalties will always be with the Spartans...but hey, I like Disney so we can still be friends right?
Raglan Road was AWESOME. We'll never miss it! We actually made the guinness reduction they serve with bread at the beginning of the meal for St. Patrick's Day!
That ear picture in front of the castle...we're obsessed with it. It's currently sitting in a Mickey picture frame in our living room for all to see. In case any of our guests didn't know about our obsession with Disney.
That is a great feeling, knowing you have the whole day of DISNEY ahead of you! .... but my goodness the crowds! How did you survive!
Back-to-back rides on BTMRR is a pretty good way to start the day! Seems like you hit a ton of classics that morning which is great. I actually enjoy IASW as well - just so many odd things to see and I feel like a notice something new each trip. Plus my kids love it - I think it is kind of sensory overload for them a bit and that is always fun.
Definitely a fan of CHH - not so much for Peco's Bill (at least when we went nothing had any flavor do it and it was like a mad house trying to find a table - though I do know the place has its fans)
Really nice castle pics throughout but especially this one
:
The crowds
I don't know how we survived but NEVER AGAIN in January...
Fellow IASW lover! Or, maybe not LOVER but not HATER? Haha
I used to only go to Pecos Bill's but after trying CHH...I don't know if there's any going back! Or...can you have two lunches? Nobody judges for that in Disney right? Calories don't count there.
So far so good...building the drama!!!
So glad you're reading along!!!
Ahhhh! I'm so eager to read about IT!
! Thank you for reading
!!!
I can't wait to read about the rest of your big day!
More is on its way! Thanks so much for reading!!!
Would you believe I STILL haven't seen the welcome show?!
We're rope drop people, but we've either just missed it or we're already in the park due to a pre-opening ADR. I do plan to see it this time, though (and thanks to the Four Parks, One World CD, I know all the words!
).
What a wonderful MK morning - I love short waits!
I know many have already said it, but the ear picture in front of the castle is ADORABLE!!!
Oh you MUST see the welcome show! Run don't walk to Disney NOW!!! Or, you know, plan a trip and book a flight but...just get there and do it!!!
Short waits...ah. I think we got seriously spoiled this trip. We're considering going back in September and I hear waits are comparable but free dining makes me nervous about crowds. We'll see!!
Ahhh such a wonderful beginning to your MK day! Those days are some of the best in life! Yay for January crowds! And your lunch is making me hungry!
And I CAN"T wait to read more about this day!
It was honestly such a great morning. Makes me want to be there RIGHT NOW!
What an absolutely fun TR! I knew right away this was one I would enjoy, and guess what? I was right!
I can't wait for more!!!
AW! That is so so nice to hear
! Thank you and thank you for reading along! Hopefully it will continue to be enjoyable for you!
Jumping in! I'm all caught up and can't wait for more!
YAY! Thanks for reading!!! More is on its way!!!
Can't wait to read the rest.
Thanks for reading and more is coming!
Ah the Welcome Show, one of my favorite things. Seriously, how adorable are those photos with the hats. Babies do make great accessories, awesome observation
. It looks like you got a lot done this morning. Can't wait to see the photopass pictures.
Isn't the welcome show the best? I'm pretty sure someone must be cutting onions throughout the show though because...
Photopass pictures are coming!
Can't wait to read the rest! Just found your report.. I'm from Michigan too
Fellow Michigander! Do you think we're out of the winter woods yet? The weather forecast shows no days under 60 for the next ten days...but you NEVER know here.
I'm looking forward to your next updated... The one where you can drink the champagne!!!
We just might have popped that bottle on this night...
That is a great pic. Disney really is awesome and its moments like this you can remember forever. I can't wait for the rest of the day and the magic you experienced.
Totally agree. There were so many awesome, memorable moments on this trip. It was exciting because it was our first trip together and we know we have so many more to come!
I just found your trip report -- always looking for fun people who's antics I can follow!
Also, GO WHITE (though yesterday was very sad... so now GO RED - B10!)
GO GREEN!!! That game was highly upsetting. I may or may not have shed a few tears during that loss. Also couldn't believe Kentucky FINALLY LOST!
