AKL Bound...See you next Saturday!!!

[IluvXU]

I think you will like POP. Look at MeMom's trip report... she takes tons of picture of POP and it always looks so great. We stayed there and enjoyed it, and since the kids are small the rooms won't be that crowded. Plus spending $$$ on a house is a forever expense, WDW is a week, so I totally support putting the money toward a house!

We are also satying at the POP. Just could not pay that kind of $$$. The POP thread is great-lots of info. Like you said it is your first trip and there is so much to experience. You will have a great time-to bad we won't be there at the same time.

I hope your still as excited about your trip. I'm sure POP will be great. We're staying at all star movies! Because we're a family of 6 (7 with my Mom) we'll probably always do the value resorts. I think the kids will be just as happy.. If not happier with all of the BIG stuff around the hotel. And saving a thousand dollars, that sounds good.

So when we went to Pop we went to the quick service plan, too. We really don't want reservations with our kids and if we come back to Pop and want to stay that is ok. We can do the food court there a lot. BUT when I went to cancel a few ressies...the CM canceled them all. UGH!!! I only noticed because I got credit for CRT which we made months ago. Yesterday a supervisor had to do some fancy footwork to get us back into CRT, BBB and Crystal Palace. We are paying OOP for those. Alls well now, though. We actually got a better time at CRT and BBB!!! Plus the same time at Crystal Palace. Can't wait!!! I need to figure out how many days until our trip. We have been neglecting our countdown calendar this week. Jenny is on a High School Musical 3 countdown. It arrives at our door Tuesday!!!

As you know we had to downgrade also. You will love Disney so much and as previous posters have said, with this being your first trip you won't spend much time in the room anyway. We've stayed at value resorts before and loved them. The theming is really cute for kids. Some of our best pictures from previous trips were with our little ones next to the oversized dalmations, tv's, etc. You are doing the right thing and are sure to have more fun that you can even imagine.

BTW, I hate to fly also. Maybe this year I will make myself a goodie bag for myself....

I'm glad you got your ADR's back!! How could the CM do that? LOL

Happy Valentine's Day!!

 

[MaryAz]

Wish I was goin a week earlier and could meet up but then I'd miss other meets !! There'sno justice !!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

You will love Pop! It is so fun and vibrant that it will definitely feel like a true Disney vacation. Make sure you try the tie-dyed cheesecake, the frozen cokes, and don't miss the nightly dancing in the food court. We stayed there in October, 2007 and loved it. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Starting a stroller (double) swap am I nuts? Or just Disney nuts

 

[DreaGirl]

Hi! I'm just coming over to ready your PTR. I have a lot to catch up on, just wanted to say HI!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Hey bertegirl, we've been chatting on the DIS long enough and I don't even know your first name! Or maybe I do and just don't realize it, so if you don't mind...What's your name?

 

[DisMomAmy]

I'll check out your stroller swap... I think we're going to do park strollers - hopefully just a single for the boys to take turns because the double is so expensive! But a swap could be tempting.

Would anyone be willing to send my daughter a letter from a princess prior to our trip? I just want an invitation to CRT and BBB. Please let me know..I would be so greatful. I could do one in return if anyone else wanted one.

I'd be happy to send Jenny a letter! Send me a PM with your address!! Let me know your CRT & BBB date and any other details you want added in the letter! You might want to check out this website too: https://secure.uvoxnetworks.com/disney/affhome.html?affno=66. You can have one of the princesses call her before you leave.

My brother lives in Kissimmee and he sends postcards to my girls. I talked to him just yesterday and said he would be happy to do it again. He also said if I had any friends that would be interested to let him know. He gets a kick out of doing it. If you'd like a postcard with her favorite character and a short message postmarked from Orlando just let me know. He wouldn't mind a bit. You can PM me.

Just found this. I'm headed out right now, but will do a power read when I get home later.
