I intend to do a real trip report but here are a few thoughts before I get to that.

7/9 - 7/18 Pop Century

The Good

Pop Century was as wonderful as we remembered from last year. We were traveling with family and even though we arrived much later than we had anticipated our check in was quick and our rooms were connecting. The staff was wonderful and we were very pleased with our stay.

The parks were very cean and some of the disrepair I had noticed on our last trip wasn't evident. CMs were as they should be and we had a few special CMs that really went above and beyond. Crowds weren't bad and the weather was very pleasant for this time of year.

Soarin' was awesome! Wanted to ride this many times but with the lines we only rode twice, with FP of course. We got in the front row our first trip and all I kept saying was WOW!

Extra Magic hours - we didn't do any early EMH this trip due to our traveling partners. Did late hours at MK and MGM and while they are no e-night I also didn't have to pay extra for them. Lines weren't too long and FP were available for a time. It was a nice way for us to ride a couple of our favorites again.

VMK scavenger hunts - these were a lot of fun and a little challenging. We filled them out over several days and turned them in to get our VMK tour.

VMK tour - easily one of the highlights of our trip. The kids had a ball and it was a fun way to tour the MK.

Pin talk with Scoop - we had a blast with Scoop and hope to go again.

WWTBAM - finally made it into the hot seat! About time! Lots of fun and I now know that Elderberries are good for the flu.

Met lots of wonderful people!

The Bad

Had car troubles getting to Orlando. My son called it the Amazing race, I can't say what I called it. Getting back to the car was even more interesting. But we made it home so it's water under the bridge. The inbetween time at WDW was wonderful so it's all ok.

Can't say I will travel with anyone else again. It didn't make for a relaxing trip.

Characters were everywhere but they were all the same characters. Would have liked to see a better variety out and about.

Magical Express service makes for long lines at bell services. I had heard this before our trip but it was still a little annoying. CMs couldn't have been nicer or more helpful however.

Meal plan seems very popular but CMs seem a little annoyed with it. It also seems to have been the downfall of the AK meal deal which we loved. Restaurants were full and thankfully I had made PS for us. We were able to change some meals but walk ups were turned away.

Overall we had a great trip!
 
Glad you had a good trip despite the perils. Sounds like the makings for a great trip report tho....

So it is true... the AK meal deals are gone? :(

Glad that your trip was great... We love Pop too and can't wait to get back!
