I'm in!
We have stayed in the Play-Doh building, too. We like anything 50's through 70's better than the 80's and 90's, but it easy to get to the bus stop from some of the 80's buildings, so that's a plus.
I wonder if we will come to love other resorts in the future and feel as much at home at them as we do at Pop?
Thanks, everyone, for stopping long enough to get the group picture. The lights were especially beautiful this year. I am glad Jarvis got to see them.
The lights were really pretty this year! I love to look at them!!
And I like to watch my girl and my girl's girls immersed in the magic.
Glad I got that picture of Bella holding the box Mingo was in as quickly as I did.
May he rest in peace.
I thought that was the Mingo!!! Poor Mingo!!
We had a good time. I loved my family time, and we all enjoyed seeing DIS friends.
The DIS is giving me fits this afternoon. Finally over here.
There is a not so hidden Poolrat with Jill and Bella. I had to look twice.
Poor mingo.
We love having our DIS buds come back again and again.
I can't say the report will be fabulous, but seeing Disney at Christmas again certainly was. I loved seing all the huge trees again.
I loved seeing all the trees too!
I was scrolling through the pictures while Jill was on the phone, and I noticed the Hidden Poolrat.
Poor Bella. She wanted to hold that mingo so tight - she didn't even want me to take a picture of it. Little did we know... I wish I had gotten a good picture.
It was good to meet you. It was dark on NYE. I can't see in the dark. You guys were there, and then you weren't!
I am glad you got to spend some good old Marc and Anita throughout the trip.
I decided to go to the gym, and do a bit of shopping today, even talked to a certain MeMom today and look how late I am!!!!
You didn't find any more charms, did you???
I did find another Mingo for Bella, when it gets here, I'll send it on, plus a little something I had for Brook. Now in the meantime there is the box on it's way as of today with the plushies that I forgot to pack in December and a little something for MeMom who doesn't tell her friend about the new TR...
John, John, John...was he as engrossed in the television show as Brooklyn was when Bella sauntered off?
Nope he was playing with his new iPhone. She was almost in Everything Pop by the time I spotted her. She was walking at a leisurely pace until she saw me coming and then she took off like Dash Incredible.
Made it! We'll see how good of a job I do this time keeping up.
YAY you are on your way.
The 'character' pic with is great.
Sorry to 'interrupt'
Hi Memom and Jill. So glad to be here for a new TR. I am so looking forward to seeing lots of Pop pics. Can't wait for our stay there in a few weeks.
I absolutely hate that sinking panic feeling when you think you have lost something important. Glad that you found your license and that you had looked for it before you got into the airport.
Can't wait for more TR!!!
I'm in!
joining in once again! love the opening photos!!
Joining in!! Glad to hear that you found your wallet fairly easily! You guys are definitely brave to go to MK on Christmas day!!
Definitely joining in!! Can't wait to read all about your Christmas trip!!
There is nothing worse than scrambling for lost essentials when you are on a timeline!
I would love to spend Christmas Day that way. My DH won't give in on that one though. He thinks we need to be at home on holidays. I can understand that because I am a traditionalist too, but sometimes it would be nice to skip all the family drama associated with the holidays and go to my happy place.
Interesting reading material you had there. I could probably entertain myself with the Shutterbug one, but the muscle mag would just make me depressed about how out of shape I am. I would have left that one behind.
I'm here! And I made it just in time for the first installment. Glad you found your wallet and that Bella didn't get too far before you spotted her. That's two disasters avoided.....looks like you had some Christmas miracles happening there!
Oh dear! Poor Bella losing her mingo...But good thing Bella wasn't lost! And good thing you hadn't lost your ID's and such MeMom! Otherwise it seems like the trip was going pretty well! I'm excited to hear more!
I forgot to say I like the reading material you were offered! I am sure I would have been offered one of my dad's many Jeep or car magazines. And I am so glad you located everything! There is nothing worse than that cold panic that sets in when you realize something important isn't where it should be.
We've stayed in the 80's and 90's, and stayed in the 70's the past couple times, and definitely liked the 70's locations better. This time, we requested preferred rooms again, but didn't request any specific location. And I am SO sentimental that I can't imagine feeling as much at home at another resort as I do at Pop. I could seriously go on and on about how much I love it there. It was also VERY exciting to walk around one day taking pictures, and spy on the AoA suites construction. I am so psyched to have another area of Pop to explore when we go back next year!
Yeah for found ID's!! Broken computers are the pits, but you don't need one to get on an airplane... like the ID!
I WANT TO GO TO WDW at Christmas... and see the different trees and hotel decorations! Some day I hope. Until then, I will just have to live vicariously thru your pictures.
How nice to be offered another option for you old Pop Century pros! And lucky for Jill to spot Bella escaping! I remember seeing that on FB! Whew on all these things - finding your DL is a VERY IMPORTANT task!
Love the shopping pictures!! And thank you for including the ONE of you!!
What an exciting start! I'm sooooo glad Jill found your wallet.
We staying the jukebox section in 2009, on the second floor facing the parking lot. Just a little trivia, the jukebox and several other icons were made here in Louisiana, just across the Mississippi from Baton Rouge. One of my customers was a foreman of the crew and went down there to help install. He now a preacher.
Can't wait too see the MK dressed up for Christmas!
It was nice seeing you too!
I thought I saw a hidden Poolrat!!!
Poolrat, Lauren, Ricky, and I were sitting on the beach in the chairs watching the fireworks. I'm glad I got to meet you too! I should've talked to you more on NYE though! Next time!!!! It was good seeing Anita and Marc too!!
glad you found another mingo for Bella!! She will be excited!
Oh, my! What a whirlwind departure! Thank goodness you were able to find your wallet before you left! Too funny about the reading material your boys offered to loan you. Somehow, I don't quite see you reading either one. LOL!
John, John, John...was he as engrossed in the television show as Brooklyn was when Bella sauntered off?
Hurray for heading to the Magic Kingdom!
Oh, no! I can just picture it! She definitely needs to run track when she is older!
Oh I HATE that feeling when you lose something! It's the worst!! I'm so glad it was found safe & sound!
And John, John....those kiddos are quick when they want to make a run for it!!
