8 Nites Of Practically Perfect Pop!!! NEW PICTURES, PAGE 13!!!

:wave: Hi, Momof2DisPrincesses...we had a great time in Door County this time! :banana: Last year, that is where we ended up going when our Disney trip got "rescheduled" in September...so I really, really wanted to be in Disney, but this time, I truly enjoyed Door County...but like you said, it woulda be great to be in Disney, too!!!! :goodvibes
 
Donna W, you made me smile today! In fact, you have really added to my excitement about staying at Pop (7/16 - 22). :yay:

We've been to Disney before, stayed at ASMu, Asmo, CSR, CBR, POR, but not at Pop yet. For some reason, I've had "good vibes" about staying at Pop ever since we booked it in March. Now - after reading your entertaining, positive, and informative trip report - I know I'm going to LOVE it at Pop!

It's going to be a great trip! Thanks again, Donna! :goodvibes
 
HOLY COW!!

that moms night out chicken looks like it could feed a family of 6!!!!


AND THEY SAY DISNEY AND VALUE DON'T MIX!! GEESH!!

PS like your pics!!!
 
Donna, I'm sitting here in this last Saturday afternoon before we leave for WDW next Friday :woohoo: . I've shopped for just about everything we need, ironed most of the clothes, but its too soon for me to begin packing....sitting her thinking "next week this time we'll be arriving at POP" :hourglass .... Still...I need something more RIGHT NOW to quench my Disney habit....and lo and behold I run across your trip report. :thumbsup2

I thoroughly enjoyed each and every word you typed...and tell Mark I love the pictures...not sure if they were yours or his, but they were great...and I wouldn't want to start any marital rifts anyway.... :rolleyes:

I hope our trip to POP is as practically perfect as yours was....I'm counting on it!!!

Like you, I'll be walking around with a huge grin :teeth: the entire time and I'll be distraught :sad1: when that following Friday rolls around and I have to bid adieu to the happiest place on earth.

Thanks so very much for getting me through this difficult ;) waiting period.

You're a lifesaver!! :thanks:
 

I enjoyed your trip report so much! Your happiness lept off the screen! We are another Pop loving family. When we were booking this years trip we thought about staying at POR but we just couldn't leave Pop. Your report and the wonderful pictures are making it easier for me to wait until August to go back.
 
Donna loved reading your reports. :goodvibes I just found your thread today. I have a quick question. We'll be staying at POP 9/9 to 9/19 and I noticed that even though you drove your car you used Disney Transportation most of the time. Do you think this really saves time? We always rent a van ( I have to promise my mom that we will spend some time away from Disney on each trip) and we always drive ourselves to the parks. I've been thinking about taking the bus to MK since they drop you right out front. Is taking the bus a lot quicker? :hourglass What other parks do you think it's quicker to take the bus versus your own car? We usually have a stroller with us-I know you didn't on your trip but did you notice if taking a stroller on the bus was a big deal? Do you fold it and take it on with you?

It does seem that most of the time we go to MK we end up the day at Epcot. Sometimes we park at TTC, othertimes we park at Epcot and monorail to MK and then when we leave Epcot at night the car is already there.

In all the times we've been to WDW we have only taken a bus once and that was from Hoop dee Doo to Wilderness Lodge to get our car.

Your thoughts?

TIA! :disrocks:
 
Thank you so much for sharing your visit with all of us. :woohoo: We are going to POP in August and it was so much fun to read your report. You and your husband seem like you know how to have a great time. POP is our favorite resort as well. We will give it a hug for you in August :thumbsup2 and as my grandfather always says "If you are not having a good time it's your own d**n fault" :smooth:
 
Ohhh Donna - what a fabulous report!! I've read many, and I have to say, I love your style! We've stayed at Pop once before (Feb 2005) and will be back there this fall Sep 24-Oct 7 (yupper - TWO FULL WEEKS!!) and there are 8 of us, so we're considered a Grand Gathering and therefore get to do extra special stuff like a private Safari and dinner at Tusker House, and a private dinner and dessert buffet (oh I'm in Heaven) while watching Illuminations from a private area. Oh happy day :banana: :Pinkbounc :banana:

I love writing trip reports after our trips, but have never posted them to this site before. I think I will this time, so if you're looking for a Pop fix in the middle of Oct, watch for me!! :wave:

Thanks again for all the great reading, the info and tips and especially the pics, what a great addition they are to the report. I hope I can figure out how to do that come October!! :confused3

Hi :wave: I'm glad you enjoyed the trip report!!! As far as your question on transportation, I think you will *absolutely* save time if you use the Disney transport to the Magic Kingdom, because as you said, the bus will drop you off right at the entrance to the park. As far as strollers, the people I saw with them just folded them up and had them on the bus with them, I don't think it was a problem for anyone.

POP Century is very centrally located to the parks, so if you want to drive your car to the other parks, you should be able to do so without too much of a problem. We liked taking the bus mostly because then we didn't have to hassle with parking, traffic, etc at the parks. That being said, the one night we drove to the Studios I was amazed at how quickly we got there...again, I think it's because of the awesome location of POP!!! :banana:

Have a GREAT trip and don't forget to write a report when you get back!!! :)

Thanks so much for the wonderful trip report! It was almost like being there!

We are also big POP lovers--we stayed there twice already and we are returning in 25 days!! :cool1: :cool1: Can you tell we are excited? Reading your report just reconfirmed all the things I loved about Pop. I have also read some negatives about the resort but I can honestly say I didn't experience anything negative. Now I'll just start packing and wishing away the next 25 days!! :teeth:
