This place looked cute but I did not go in.

Then I went back and jumped on a boat back to DHS.

I spoke with a nice couple who were there for the weekend.

I got to the bus stop and had to wait quite a while for a bus. Finally one came.

Where did I go?

It is around noon now.
 
So I took the bus to

Yes I went back to POP. I was a little concerned about going to All-Stars and then going to a park to get the bus back again.

I do like the bus queue at POP

They should really do something with this. It is such a waste.

Then I walked further out on Generation Gap Bridge
The years just flew by.

I totally agree with being able to take pictures all day at Animal Kingdom Lodge. I love the Zawadi Marketplace! And all the animals everywhere. And the awesome details!

Thanks for a million great pictures! I'm so glad you are headed back for more!

I've got to go back and look at all the pictures again. We got a snow day today, so I have time to catch up and absorb it all slowly.

I would be afraid of gators to even think of swimming.

I like the lodge a lot.
I am finishing up the final updates right now.
Tonight I will start a new thread for my new trip. I think.
all we have had is rain.
It is hard to transfer, over on enchanted it is a 50 pic limit, here is 25 so I have to divide up the posts. But I did it.
 
I love how the coke machines look. I want one.

I never did have a drink here.

PA193656.jpg


PA193657.jpg


Then I went in to look around or use the bathroom.
PA193658.jpg


PA193659.jpg


PA193660.jpg


PA193661.jpg


So I now had 1 ½ to kill and so I got a soda and plopped myself on a chair outside and just people watched. I also had a friend stop by.

Up next….

Going home and final thoughts.
 
Time to go home.

I took this one day and emailed it to MeMom from the Disboards. She loves POP.

Made my out to the luggage hold to get my jacket.

IMG_0134.jpg


IMG_0135.jpg


I got the front seat on the way to the airport.

IMG_0136.jpg


I decided to walk around. I went into.

IMG_0137.jpg


I also had a carvelanche from Carvel. It was Reese’s and very good.

Then I made my way to the gate.

IMG_0138.jpg


Plane loaded on time and we left on time. Now is where I was annoyed, my TV did not work for ¾ of the trip home. I like watching the live map but could only do it from Washington D.C. on.

Night was coming.

IMG_0139.jpg


Brooklyn, Staten island or Queens? I have no idea but I think it was Brooklyn.

IMG_0140.jpg


IMG_0141.jpg


We landed and were in half hour early. :woohoo:

Went to get my luggage (one of the last ones off) and then went home.

Final thoughts:

At first I was hesitant about it because of money but I am so happy I went.

1) Jetblue – this was my first time flying them and it was really a great experience. I am flying them again in December and hope I will have the same experience.

2) Pop Century – I have decided I am not a value type person. The resort I liked with the pop icons all over the place but it was so noisy with so many kids just running around with no parents telling them otherwise. I never experienced that at Riverside. I did like the food court but I do like having a sit down restaurant if I decide to go have that. The room was nice. It did not seem too small. Bus service from resort. This was not so good some times. Actually waiting 45 minutes or so at MK was ridiculous. I know all resorts have their problems with buses but that night every other resort was leaving 2 or 3 buses before one bus came for us. Other than that the buses were not bad. I do like the queue at POP. Keeps people from jumping in front of you on line. The frozen coke was really good. So will I stay here again probably not. I like the look and feel of the moderates or deluxes.

3) Going solo – the first day I was a little sad to be alone and seeing all the other people with someone else to share the happiness of the place. When I woke up on Saturday I was so over it. I loved being alone. I would definitely go on another solo trip.

4) Resort hopping- this was so much fun. I got to see most of the resorts. I think I missed the All-Stars and Shades of Green and Coronado Springs (for a reason I skipped it). If you have the time to resort hop do it I highly recommend it.

5) Ip-Dip meet. This was the reason for the trip and it just flew by. I had so much fun. All of you I met are wonderful, funny people. It was so easy to talk to you all and just feel at ease.

6) Ip Dip II - next meet should be a new park and a new restaurant. I think every year we should get together and try something new.

So I would definitely do a solo trip again. I absolutely loved meeting everyone. With that this tr is over.

THANK YOU ALL FOR READING.
 
I can't wait to show Brooklynn all of your pictures next weekend.
She'll point to them and say, "My Pop!" "My Ammel Cammo!" "My Ha-ee-wood!"
She's going to love all the pictures!

I'm so glad you got to spend the time resort hopping. They are all so cool in their own ways. If (big IF) my friend and I do get to go in March, we may just get a two day ticket, to make it more affordable, and then spend a day resort hopping and a day at DTD. I'm not sure I want to renew my AP until summer, because I'd like to get two summer trips, a fall or winter trip, and maybe a spring 2010 trip out of it. I enjoy just walking around the resorts, seeing the decor, eating the food, taking pictures.

Anyway, great job with the pictures. Now, get packed up, put on your stocking cap, and get down there and get us some good Christmas ones!
