Sept 28th into the 29th:
Ok here it is !!! My TR from our recent trip to the Promise Land. As stated in my previous thread. My vacation started a day early when I was able to coheres my supervisor to give me the day off on the 28th. Well!!! Did I start getting ready then ? Nope! Instead me and dsis went out shopping ! Finally at 6PM Thursday we decided to go home since dsis still need to go to work at 10PM. So here I am at home staring at all the unfinished projects and decided to DIS !!! I have about 5 hours I have a lot of time ! In and out I was at DIS and finally 5AM on the 29th came. Voila I dont know how I did it but I did. Off to the airport we go. Checking in was easy. We checked in our 2 rolling luggage and off we grab a corner sit to take a snooze. After a couple of hours of waiting and wondering why we have not bordered but no explanation was given or told. Also while waiting we have 2 or 3 families who looks like they are also headed to the Promise Land, their kids still on pj pals and carrying Disney Princess totes or backpacks. My DIS radar was on. I really wanted to take a pic of one of the mothers who kept on grabbing her sons arm. I know I dont have room to say anything for I dont have a child of my own but so far I have been good raising my niece and nephew that all it takes is one look for them to behave. One child kicking the younger brother and the dad thought this was funny. One mom keep on complaining about having to much people on this flight. Finally the pilot came and we boarded. Yey!! Me and dsis were both on aisle sits. Not bad.. Not bad at all. Now came the seat mates! Arrgghhhh my seat mates where a family of three. A mother, a father and a 6 months old (at least) baby! It is their 1st born, you would know right away just by looking on how they handle the child. Wipe here, wipe there, hug here, hug there which was great. Mind you I was looking forward to getting on my sit and taking a nap since we also have the MNSSHP that night so I would like to get all the naps I can before I go trick or treating have mercy on the diabetic patient. So up we went, fixed my pillow and grab my mp3 and closed my eyes. A couple of minutes later the baby was also napping, I said great they are going to rest too! WRONG!!! As soon as the baby goes to la la land the mommy wakes the baby up !?! WHY ?? WHY ?? Why would you wake up a baby whos sleeping! I dont have an answer. Counted 1,2,3 and turned the volume louder. About 1 hour into the flight the mommy needed to go pee which is a natural thing ( hang in there, there is a happy part in this TR I hope), so up I stand and wait, as she was coming back she opened the overhead bins to grab her lap top, and books and more stuff. Cannot sit yet since all the stuff she unloaded was on my sit. Finally we really have to sit down since the cart is also waiting to serve us our peanuts and pop! Whew, thank God for peanuts! As the flight stewardess was handing pop and peanuts she realized the lap top was on. She explained to my seat mate that lap top is not allowed right now due to orange alert was up. Never heard this but hey if I was told I would do so to close it and put it away, but they had to argue about it for a good few minutes. Back to Frankie and Andy (Frank Sinatra and Andy Williams). Finally we landed at MCO
I was ready to kiss the ground! The fun begins! Called dmom on her cel and told her get on the tram and it will take you straight to MK. She panicked ( its her 1st time at MCO sorry had to do it) and said I dont have anything but my luggage and the tickets are with you. So finally dsis explained well be waiting for her as soon as she get out of the tram
. Claimed our checked in luggage and off to look for the shuttle for Enterprise. Got the car and even got a free upgrade from neon to cobalt which was a blessing on our last day. We added 2 big gym bags for souvenirs on our way out from POP. Before going to the hotel we stop by at PUBLIX
for some much needed personal hygiene stuff.
Now we arrive at POP. Long lines at around noonish of the 29th. Rooms where not ready so we were given an 800 number to call at 3PM for our room number, which was ok since check in is really at 3Pm and we have WCC
ADR at 2:40PM and was
sitted at 1:00PM since it was not really busy . We tried to trick dmom to order ice tea but since we were early she already had seen the ice tea trick and ketchup trick. Our CMs were really great esp'ly Matt as seen on the picture! They were a blast!
Lunch was great everybody were full, we had to skip dessert and now were ready to check in. called at around 2:45PM and their 1st response was call at 3:30PM we are still drying the carpets in the room. So ok we went and check out the icons around POP since this was our 1st time at POP. Then I called back and got Well check in is not till 4:00PM and they hang up without a bye (this is the view we have at the parking lot while waiting and even fell asleep
. Finally called again at 4:00PM no hello no nothing just hanged up. I was really getting agitated (since also Svetlana decided to come a week early and tag along on our trip so no swimming at the TL for me or any pool unless I decided to make a scene, to much FYI I know but had to throw that in) and finally went back in and begged one of the CM at the FD. And when she checked, she said the room has been ready since 3PM. Ok, I have been to ASMusic 1 to many times and never had this problem , Jazz Inn Bldg here I come. After dragging and searching for the room we finally found 6164 of the *eight track bldg* ( thank you dreamergirl78 aka Tia for pointing that out). And yes... there are elevators in POP Century and those ICONS are only for attraction 
. And this was our next door neighbor
(picture borrowed from Lori aka Msslaydbug, thank you Lori! By the time I got my camera ready the decoration were down already.) whom I think I scared them off since that night when we came back the window decoration was gone. And now for our own window at room 6164 tadaaa
.
After unpacking and taking off the POP preferred comforters and taking a nice cold shower off we went to attend MNSSHP.
to be continued.... (thanks for hangin' there... There is a fun side to this I promise

. All we could say was sorry and trying hard to do it with a straight face. While waiting for the movie to start, there were a bunch of kids sitting behind us and was kicking our sits for fun and we asked them nicely to please stop but as soon as the lights dimmed and previous started showing, they literally poured soda over moms head and shoulder. Not a good sight! Dsis went out and asked help with the managers. They said the only thing they can do is switched sits with the bunch of girls 
and if they persist they would just give us tickets for the next showing time slot. They also went and talked to the bunch of kids/girls and one of the ushers had stayed in the movies to sit next to them. We finally got to sit in peace and watched the movie. If you have not seen the movie I highly recommend it. It gets a thumbs up!

laughing and laughing and laughing
this means she did panic and got a wee bit scared but will not admit to it. Which means she needs some refreshments to calm her down! Ice cream!!! 
So of to Rosie's café for some munchies. It is now 5:45PM I got up and start walking back and forth between TOT and Fantasmic area looking for some DISERS. Finally as I was walking I saw this woman looking at me! Did not register that she was really wearing a shirt stating DIS! I must have stared at her and finally she smiled! AH huh! It was Ronda! Whew! After a couple of minutes chatting a family of three came along ! Ah Huh! It was Stacey and Brian and Tabitha! Awesome!!! I got so excited I was looking around for a CM and guess who I got to beg to take our picture! Tada ! 
No photo Op that night maybe next time ! Well it was about 2:00AM when I got back to our room
Tired but accomplished! Yey!! I met my friends for the 
1st time.
