Hi Blayne,

I'm just now getting caught up with your report. What a great start! I'm glad you liked Pop. It's a really fun place. We have stayed there a couple times on weekend nights to save our DVC points, and both times have been in the '70s building. It's a great location.

Congrats to Todd on the new job! That's wonderful news!

I'm looking forward to more of your report!
 
I'm so glad you guys had a good time!! I'm especially happy to hear DBF found a good job and so fast-wow! Tell him congrats on the new job for me!! Anyway, I'm really enjoying your TR and LOVING all the pics!! You can never have too many pics in a TR!! I love hearing the 1st timers experience as I'm sure we'll be the same way when we go! Keep up the good work on the TR :cool1:

Hi! Thank you so much! I will definitely tell Todd congrats, thats so sweet! I agree with you - i love pics. When I read tr's I just wish it was pics, pics, and more pics! Thanks for reading!

I just started reading trip reports again, it was was depressing reading about other trips with none of my own planned :) I love your report - the pre-planning was great. I cannot wait for the rest!

Im glad you decided to read MINE! Do you have a trip planned now?? Thanks for reading!

Great report so far! I love seeing Disney through the eyes of a first timer!

Hi, thanks! I loved going there as a first timer. Thats something I will always remember!

aww I was really looking forward to going to that store this july. Would you (or anyone reading this happen to remember how much the punches like this cost? Did they sell these punches at the world of memories store?

great trip report so far popcorn::

I know right? I was looking SO forward to going to that store! I was SO disappointed! They did sell the punches there, as well as a lot of other stores. However, Im not sure how much they cost. They were DEFINITELY not cheap though. NONE of the scrapbook stuff was cheap. It was SUPER expensive. Thank you for reading - i hope I didn't discourage you from going there!

Blayne, I love this report. You guys are absolutely adorable. Subscribing is a must for me. I can't wait to read the rest!!

Hi! I feel that if someone should be nice enough to take the time out of there day to read something that I've written and actually leave me a COMMENT on it, then the LEAST they deserve is for me to respond! I love being responded to when I leave messages on people's reports so OF COURSE I respond to everyone .. even the messages that are only one line! haha Im getting writing!! - Im going to write right after I respond to everyone!!

I was also super impressed with the personal replies. This is one trip report that I promise not to bail on because you are so sweet!

Thank you!! Don't bail on me please!! I will write right after this!

Hi Blayne,

I'm looking forward to more of your report!

Hi! Thank you. I did like Pop, although it was noisy. What can you expect though? I loved the 70's building. Thank you for reading!!:)
 
Enjoyed your pre-trippie and everything you've posted about your trip.

You and your DBF are too cute and I love how enthusastic you are!

Can't wait for the next installment.
 
Hey People! Okay - so Im going to something a LITTLE bit unorthodox here. I am actually going to backtrack back to Day 1 (much to everyones dismay) and add some things. I've had some requests for room pictures and also to add my dining pictures and reviews to my trip report. So I wont do this again, this will be a one time thing - from now on I will ALWAYS add dining and I will try not to leave things out. I actually left out an extremely funny story from Day 1 and Im not sure how I could forget it, but I will tell it to you. So bare with me - we are still on Day 1 !!

Here are the room photos for the people that were interested. Believe- it is NOTHING special. No offense to POP, but it just is not much to look at!

Here is one of the tiny beds - >

Pop was a very fun place to be, BUT a major complaint is that the walls are PAPER THIN. You can hear the people in the next room TALKING! I heard A LOT of things .. migosh! Im sure they heard everything from our room too - but im shameless so oh well! :rotfl:

To recap - we had lunch at Earl of Sandwich
Here is my sandwich - the Caprese
IMG_2378.jpg

It had mozzarella, basil, and tomato with olive oil. It was DELICIOUS. Notice the dessert - its a HUGE cupcake .. it was so good. It was like birthday cake. Yummy!
Todd had the Hawaiian BBQ Sandwich
IMG_2377.jpg


This was perfect for Todd. He loves this kind of stuff and this sandwich was no exception! He loved it! I think that Earl of Sandwich was an amazing CS restaurant. Probably one of the best in Disney. I would completely recommend it and I thought it was a great choice for our first Disney meal. I would have liked to try all the sandwiches - so many to pick from!! Go to Earl of Sandwich - trust me!!

For dinner we went to Planet Hollywood. We actually got in an hour before our ADR was scheduled. I was really nervous about this meal because I had so many poor reviews on the disboards. The atmosphere was fantastic. I was intrigued by all the movie memoribilia and I loved the movie clips that were playing. It was a perfect place for Todd and I because we are both total movie buffs. Our waiter's name was Doniel and he was extremely nice and attentive. He was efficient and gave us plenty of time with our courses. For our appetizers, I had the Chicken Crunch.

IMG_2393.jpg


I never planned on ordering this appetizer, but had heard a lot about it. Yum! It was great! It was chicken tenders with crushed cereal on it. It was delicious! I was very happy with it.

Todd got the potato skins.

IMG_2394.jpg


They were exactly that - potato skins. Nothing special whatsoever. They definitely weren't the best potato skins either, kind of dry.

For main courses I had the alfredo shrimp pasta.

IMG_2400.jpg


It was delicious! It had a lot of really big fresh shrimp and creamy alfredo spaghetti. Yum! It was very good and I completely happy with it. It was A LOT of food though!

Todd got the BBQ Ribs with fries

IMG_2401.jpg


They were HUGE! Todd said they were okay. I tried them and didn't like them that much. Overall, I'd say I had the best meal hands down, Todd's wasn't bad, but nothing that great.

For dessert though, Todd had the Brownie sundae which was HUGE and he loved it. He said it was AMAZING! It was probably the biggest sundae I've ever seen. I had the Key Lime Pie which was DISGUSTING. I only tasted about two bites before I pushed it away in disgust. Honestly, it was just gross. Dont order it - EVER!

IMG_2404.jpg


IMG_2405.jpg


We had fun at this meal and I would definitely advise everyone to try it! You will more then likely be very happy!

IMG_2391.jpg


Notice Todd's soaking wet shirt from the pouring rain that we ran in. Todd is too cool to wear a poncho apparently!

IMG_2392.jpg


Here is a picture of the Forrest Gump boat outside of Planet Hollywood. We LOVE Forrest Gump!

I also left out a little story about what happened after DisneyQuest. Well, I told everyone how we were MORE THEN A LITTLE tired, since we had been up since 2:30 that morning. On the way back to the Pop Century bus, we were walking through Downtown Disney and I could have SWORN that I saw Cinderella2004 (I will not disclose real names in order to respect here privacy! ;) ) I could have sworn that walking towards me was Cinderella2004, her DH and her daughter. In fact I was so positive that as the woman neared me, I leaned over and went - "PSSSSSSTTTTT"!! When she continued to make her way by me with not so much as a glance, I got a little more aggressive and leaned over and tapped her whispering "PSSSSSSSTTT!! HEY!!" with this maniacal grin on my face. I was very excited. I HAD SPOTTED A FRIEND. Ya, well I was wrong. Completely and utterly wrong. This woman turned to be with a confused look on her face and said "HULLO." in a Britist accent. Nope it was NOT Cinderella2004. Well I was extremely embarassed and so was Todd who wasn't even sure what I had been doing to the poor woman in the first place. I quickly said a blushing apology and scurried away. Todd and I were in peels of laughter all the way to the bus stop! Oh man, it was VERY funny!! Although, I was bummed that I didn't get to REALLY see Cinderella2004 - Hi Cinderella2004!! :)

So I promise that I will give you guys an ACTUAL update soon. For now you will just have to deal with that! ;) Thanks for reading!!
 
Wow! That food looks absolutely delicious. I'd love to have some of that Brownie Sundae right now! :goodvibes

Thanks for the update! Keep them coming; I love reading!
 
First time trip reports are my FAVORITE! Thank you so much for taking the time to share.

You guys are too cute! DH and I are high school sweethearts too, our 10 year "dating" anniversary is coming up (married 3.5).

Share more, I can't wait!
 
Great start!! Did you bring a note pad with you to take notes throughout the day?? Or do you just have an excellent memory????

It's such a small world, we were almost directly under you (you were loud... geez jk:rotfl:). I wasn't as crazy as you are about POP... it was really crowded especially in the mornings for breakfast.

-nat
 
really enjoying your report :thumbsup2
Please keep them coming :wizard:

I agree with the disney scrapbook store , not very much there
went in a few days after Halloween to get the Halloween kits and there was none , had all the christmas stuff out
so now I have lots of Halloween photos and no Halloween scrapbook to put them on
 
I am loving your trip report! It seriously is one of the best TR's I've read in a long time. I can feel your excitement through your writing and it's making me so excited for my next trip--only 72 days away!! :woohoo: I'm anxiously awaiting your next installment! :thumbsup2
 
:lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :laughing: Thinking of you and that poor British woman!!:rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2: :laughing:


I imagine your smilies for that encounter would look something like this:

:scratchin :idea: ::yes:: :wave2: :hyper: :wave: :yay: :confused: :sad2: :blush: :rolleyes1 :tiptoe: :rotfl: :rotfl2:
 
Hey an update is an update right? Who cares if you backtracked! :rolleyes: Mmmmm that Shrimp Alfredo made my mouth water!!! :cloud9: It looked so good, and I am gonna have to show my boyfriend Todd's dish since he loves his BBQ ribs. I remember going to Planet Hollywood years ago when we went but I dont remember it since I was only 12...we may have to go back even if it is just for that pasta!!! Okay I shouldnt have read that before dinner, I am starved! Thanks for the update! :goodvibes
 
Loving your trip report! :thumbsup2 I love to see the dining review and the trip report together, makes for a complete reading experience! You have such a great positive outlook, I bet that made you trip even more enjoyable. Can't wait to read more! :)
