I'm here!! I wanted to be funny about the POP century plans, But really I am just happy for the Buttery Biscuits.
We love POP I think I would pick that even if I won the lotto. It seems like home to us. We are actually in ASMU this time around, and I feel like I cheating on pop.
If the girls get their heart set on going to the Magic Kingdom, I do not want to have to face the potential meltdown that would erupt when having to explain that we cant because we already visited Epcot. One thing having two daughters has taught me is that the more drama you can avoid, the better. [/B]
Picking the POP!
Great to see MTK hasn't been banned!
Also, thanks brookelizabeth for the explanation-
reminds me of a similar incident involving a cousin of my husband around a dark campfire. I'm sure he was just as shocked as Tammy when someone reached out and fondled his leg!!
Holy Cow, I was mortified!
Awesome! I can't wait to get there and see the place in person!This is my DS's FAVORITE part of Pop. When I tried to talk he and DH into upgrading to a mod this year I got thoroughly outvoted
You did good!I recall the refridgerator incident with SIL Tammy.
Tammy and First Lady Mrs. Biscuit are twin sisters. One day Tammy was bent over at the fridge and in walks GB seeing a familar heiny at the fridge.
Unfortunatly that was a twin heiny...and he found out about 0.8 seconds after a little squeeze on said heiny...OOPS!
There ya go GB - did I remember it pretty well?
That's good Disney math right there.SCORE on extra days! Extra days at Disney surpasses a Studio DVC.
Good to know! Thanks!We stayed for one night at Pop in November. It was even prettier in person. It's a really, really neat resort. And has some really beautiful parts! The only thing I didn't like was the INSANITY of the food court during peak meal hours. It's flooded with people, strollers, kids climbing and laying everywhere.
But the choices at the food court are awesome. Plus, you can get frozen Cokes in your refillable mug there! Hello, yummy! Just be prepared for mayhem at peak meal times.
You got it.It's a cart GB!
People from Wisconsin call drinking fountains bubblers. Now THAT is weird.
Im definitely happy we went with this one. The more I hear about it, the more I know well love it!I am so happy you chose POP! My DD5 love love loves the Hippy Dippy Pool! We just returned from the POP and we had another great stay! I am so excited for your daughters they are going to love it! On a side note make sure you have some time to stop by the arcade, my daughter loved it in there too! Enjoy!
My youngest really likes the pictures of the Bowling Pin pool because she loves Wii bowling. REALLY loves Wii bowling. Have you ever been beaten at video game by a 5 year old? Its a bummer, let me tell you. But Im not bitter. Cause Im the dad and I let her win. Yeah. Thats my story.We thought Pop was great when we stayed there two years ago. DD was 6 and enjoyed everything! We were in the 50's section and swam at the bowling pin pool most of the time, except when dh took dd over to try out the Hippy Dippy. They both decided it was too crowded that day and returned to our never-crowded bowling pin. Also, the food court had lots and lots of options with the dining plan!
I cant WAIT. I remember back when we booked and June seemed like a lifetime away. It really does go by quickly though.I can't believe you're just a month away--waiting till Dec. is pure torture here!
Awesome!What'ya kbow, I worked at POP for about 1 1/2 years. Stuff like that happens when you work at a place for 37 years. Anyway, very cool place, you'll love it!
Thanks for the tip! Will do.Try the adult breakfast platter and the Chciken meditteranian flatbread..
Now that much is true. They really nailed it with that Im too excited to sleep! commercial.leaving at o'dark thirty before the butt crack of dawn (haven't heard those phrases is a while but they made me chuckle!) will be tough but it's not like you'll be able to sleep that night anyway so might as well be on your way!
Thanks! They are anxious every night to mark another day off of our countdown poster.Well let life interfere with Dis surfing and GB post not 1 but 3 new posts! Our family has no plans (as of yet I'm still working on DH) as to when we'll go back to WDW but I'm feeling the excitement of your family's trip. I'm so excited for your girls to experience it all.
That just had me cracking up.Now I do have to give you kuddos....whether you are still in "Basics" or in the more advanced levels of training at least you know you need training...my DH on the other hand still believes he is in charge of all that happens in our house. Did I mention that we have 2 girls.....yeah he's so not in charge....in fact he's just being dragged along by one hand on the good days.
But that's okay cuz both girls are daddy's girls and we all love him so we let him think he's in charge!
Gotcha! Im so happy MTK stopped by a few posts down!She's been around, just busy.
Oh how fun! Another trip in the works. Too bad we'll miss by one day! we get there on the 27th.
You cant argue with that logic!(now with the 4/3 deal I somehow worked our once in a lifetime BWCL last year into a new week there again! BUT HONEY WE'RE SAVING LIKE $2100!! I worked my magic and here we come again)
Glad to have you reading along.We have yet to try a budget. Although the Pop would be our choice. I can't wait to hear how it goes. I also have to do some backround reading last I stopped you were on the last day of the honeymoon trip and now there are DAUGHTERS! I have some major catching up to do!
Thanks MTK! We are definitely looking forward to our first stay on property.I'm here!! I wanted to be funny about the POP century plans, But really I am just happy for the Buttery Biscuits.
We love POP I think I would pick that even if I won the lotto. It seems like home to us. We are actually in ASMU this time around, and I feel like I cheating on pop.
Glad Im not the only one!Great to see MTK hasn't been banned!

We learned quite a bit on our Training Run. Ill be detailing all of that soon.This is not only true for just girls. Our greatest meltdown was in DHS then MGM Studios...picture my DS now 9 but was 4 then. After 4 days of Disney in the HEAT just all of a sudden throwing himself down on the pavement screaming. It was one of those moments you almost say.."that's not my kid" He was just too hot and needed a break, but didn't say anything to me about being hot or tired. Oh well I learned a lot that year on my plans for touring!
I hadnt gone there .but of courseI had to laugh at this one...even snorted a bit of my coffee too. Am I the only one who see's a little boy using his finger to dig for gold? Maybe I'm just warped!
We know it is just a matter of time
Thanks for the tip! Ill definitely re-check their site.I think everyone's covered the wonders of Pop for you. But I wanted to remind you to keep checking your fares on SW. If the rate goes down, call and have them move it to the lower rate. They'll take the extra funds and put them on account for you to use sometime in the next year!
Thanks andwheww I just got thru the entire post..... loving it!!!
I love seeing how the place has changed over teh years. It's amazing just how differnent The World is now compared to even 10 years ago.Just awesome to see the world from back in our kidhood times. I just picked up a coffeetable style book of the Magic Kingdom & Epcot from the late 80's. Morgan I sat down to look at it & she was amazed at the differences from then to now.
We can't wait to see it!We stayed at POP back in Jan. it was great. Kid have already told us that;s the "only" place to stay.
Catchy, wasn't it?!Now, when you book four nights well give you three nights free. What did they just say?
Oh good! I'm all about the hopping; a certain dramatically-inclined 7 year-old boy being my reason.I didnt care too much about non-expiring tickets either so this left me with on thing. To Hop or Not to Hop. That is the Question. After mulling it over for about 2.873432 seconds, I decided to Hop.
But you're practically next-door to FL! That's insane.At the time we booked our resort package, plane tickets were running around $450 each.
Phew!During Spring Break, I got an email from Southwest Airlines about a Fun Saver deal, and was able to book our tickets for $198 round trip each out of Houston Hobby.
(Im Big Boy by the way .which has earned more than one odd look at the grocery store, let me tell you.)
Thanks MTK!There's 8 for you!!
I cant think of too many things that quite compare! Ive referred to our dog as many things, but I dont think fabulous has ever been one of them. (She was an only child for a while and is UBER spoiled.)8 Happy Biscuits!- ready to skip down Main Street. What could be any better??
Your dog sounds fabulous...
and I"m not humming "Tommy" HA!
Awesome! Everyone needs a Bug. It just rolls off of the tongue.hmm methinks I have meet your kids before oh wait I have they sound like mine... Morgan was quite the "princess" till she turned 8 then she found Hanna & HSM. I to have a "Bug" we have called DS that since birth. Well it started out as Bugaboo. The name thing is also a Bug thing (he calls my sister moose butt) long story.
Can't wait till Thus.
DOING THE 30 DAY HAPPY DANCE! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!GB, only 30 more days, woohoo!
Glad you started your pre-trippie, pleasure to meet the travelling clan.
Thanks AC! Ive heard the horror stories of secondary cargo contamination. Well be sure to look before we swim!I am excited for you GB! I can't believe how long you've gone without a trip to the World, and you are going to LOVE seeing everything through the girls' eyes! On-site is just the icing on the cake! Watch out for that Hippy Dippy Pool, though. They are famous for mid-day closings due to kiddie "accidents" You may find yourselves re-directed to the Bowling Pin every once in a while
It will be fun counting down the days with you, and I can't WAIT to hear all about it when you get back!!
You know it!Catchy, wasn't it?!
I understand!Oh good! I'm all about the hopping; a certain dramatically-inclined 7 year-old boy being my reason.
I know, I couldnt believe the prices when I pulled them up the first time.But you're practically next-door to FL! That's insane.
As we say around these parts, right back atcha.A pleasure to meet the Biscuit's.
