[bertegirl]

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! My only wish though is to finally be at WDW. We are so excited...it has been a long years and 90 days actually seems in sight.

I am looking to all you disers for help! I downloaded some dis designs onto my desktop, but I don't seem to be able to edit them. I was wondering if anyone knows anyone that designs shirt. I want to iron on shirts for Jenny and Austin they say their 1st trip. I looked at the threads, but wow...I don't even know where to start. Really want something just simple. Any help?

 

[3princesses+aprince]

Glad you're going to make some shirts too. Once you start you'll want to keep making them...like me.... I wish I was ironing on DISigns right NOW!!!!

I know you're birthday wish is to be in Disney world, but come on.... We are going to be there SO SOON!!!!!
I'm at my 90 day mark today, and it does feel like it's in sight after all of these years wanting to go!

So as everyone knows we put our house on the market. We are total penny pinchers when it comes to make down payments. So my DH was having a hard time justifying our trip to WDW. Ugh! SOOOOO....

We decided to downgrade to the Pop. It saved us over a thousand dollars that we can use towards our next house.

I am so sad, but I am sure the Pop will be great. I don't know anything about it...so for all you Pop lovers out there help fill me in.

I think for our 1st time...we will love anything thats Disney, right??? I am just so very thankful we can still make the trip!

We have stayed at Pop 3 times and loved it every time! Honestly, the only reason we are staying at the Poly this time is because of the 4/3 deal. There is no way I'd pay full price just to stay at the Poly! Anyway, your family will love the Pop! It is a fun resort with great pools and a great food court. There will be plenty of kids at the pool for Jenny to play with and Austin will love the kiddie pool, he'll be able to crawl/walk around in there all by himself. The bus system is great. The only time you'll have to wait is when you're leaving a park at closing, then the buses get crowded and full fast, but there is always another bus on it's way! Being your first trip, the only time you'll be in the room is to sleep anyways. Some days you probably won't even come back to the resort in the afternoon because the kids will just nap in the stroller. Besides, next time, when you have settled into your new home, you can plan another trip and stay mod. or deluxe or do what we do...rent points from a DVC member and stay in a villa for the price of a mod! I guess what I'm trying to say is, YOU'RE GOING TO DISNEY FOR THE 1st TIME!!! Anywhere you stay will be magical! Hope this puts you at ease!

Thanks for the great advice. I just found a Pop post trip thread and it looks so cute. Loving the big wheel, too bad it wasn't pink! I am just going to sit back and relax and enjoy our trip. Plus we can tour all the others and see where we really want to stay next time!!!!

I like the value resorts. It's where we always stay so I like them. I've only stayed at Sports and Movies so I don't really know anything about Pop. However, I did lots of research on it and I was so excited to stay there but Brad and I got the AKL bug. LOL I keep having major second thoughts because it would be $1600 for Pop with 8 day PH tickets and the dining plan. At AKL it's $2500. OMG that's $1000 less. I told Brad but he said AKL is what he is looking forward to the most. Here's some pros for staying at POP.

-You will save $1000
-The theme is awesome with bright colors and huge icons. The kids will love it.
-Compared to Allstar, you aren't sharing buses with 2 other values.
-More money for special treats and merchandise if you want it.
-The pools look really fun!!
-They do games and stuff at the pool for the kids.
-It's a smaller resort which in my opinion means less walking, less people on the buses, in the CS, etc.

That's some of the pros from my list. LOL

I LOVE the Pop Century. The service we had there was just as good as the Poly... and the mousekeeping was actually better! It is such a fun resort, IMO the pictures don't do it justice. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. It truly feels like Disney. The food court is awesome... we definitely missed it on the last trip! And there are so many fun photo opportunities. Plus 3 large pools! I think you'll have a great time at the POP.

 

[englishrose47]

Hi Here's my 2 cents !! I will be staying at Pop for the 3rd time in May! There is a Pop Century Thead on the resorts board that in the first post is just about evrything you want to know about Pop!!I have stayed in the 60's and the 50's ! Loved thm both !! The 60's poolis Hippy Hoppy poolad is closest to the fodcourt !! Thee is apingpong table you have to buy balls right there!! Te 70's has Goofy's Jet Streams which are fun forthe kids , 50's poolis th bowling pin and over in 80/90's is the Computor pool!!There is a pathway round back by the lake .The food court is great, lotsof good choices my fav is chicken alfredo !!The refillable mug drinks include slushies. The buses were great !!Rooms are alittle smaller than mods and only full size beds but wehd no problms !!You migt want to check to see if you can get ona fridge swap !!Hope I helped some !!
