Cut the Drama Stay with Mama...A Mother/Daughter Trip Report (Updated 2/15)

[Merida]

I love your room number! Number patterns like that are my favorite.

Wow, you got some really great photopass shots! We always seem to get the really boring ones because neither of us really enjoy getting our picture taken and I'm pretty sure they know that.

Those chips look amazing. Were they the nachos or just tortilla chips on the side?

Just found your TR and looking forward to hearing more. I've taken 20 something trips with my son. I've actually lost count. He's in college now but I keep telling him when he graduates and starts making some money it's his turn to take Mom to Disney! I also keep telling him it would be nice if he found a Disney loving girl and got married there. Oh then of course when they have their own children and take them to Disney grandma will gladly come along to help with the kids!

Sounds like a great start to your trip! I'm jealous about the free brownies at POP check-in. They weren't handing those out this week! Haha! POP is a great resort to stay in though. We enjoyed it there very much. Some nice pictures of you and your Mom. I would love to make it down during Christmas time to see all the decorations and the country traditions. Looking forward to more. EPCOT is a great place to start!

Awww, I've never gotten brownies when I've checked in at POP. That's okay though, I still like the resort.

Great start to the day so far. I love the Cantina!

Guess we were lucky with the brownies!

I have heard about free food at check in at Pop but have never experienced. I hope they have brownies when I check in next week

Love your view!

Cute photopass pics at the front of the park!

Mexico is such a fun pavilion!

Can't wait to see where you're headed next!

Here's hoping you get some free food! Have a great time! We ended up getting a lot of photopass pics that we really liked so I'm glad I pre-ordered the CD.

I know, I just love when number patterns pop up! We did get a lot of really good pictures. And the chips were the ones that came with the tacos - one of the many reasons I love La Cantina.

Thanks! My mom is going to love hearing that!

Sounds like an awesome plan. I think my parents might have a similar one, though they are DVC members so I'm going to con them into taking me to Disney as many times as I can. No matter how old I get I'll always be their kid. But my mom is already bugging my sisters to take her at some point. She figures she can get 5 trips a year, one with each of us and one with my dad.

It was really nice down there and the decorations were beautiful. Being from the northeast though, it was a little weird to have it so warm so close to Christmas. Hope you make it down for Christmas at some point.

I absolutely love all of those pictures! They turned out really great, and I think that the Photopass CD is totally worth it! Especially if you don't have someone to be your picture taker!
OH! and I LOVE MEXICO CS! The food there is so so good. I absolutely love it. Did you happen to get a margarita? The avocado ones are DELICIOUS, as weird as that may sound!
Can't wait to read more! We didn't get a chance to see very many story tellers, so I'm looking forward to what you thought!

No I didn't try a margarita, though I kind of wish I had, and you're right, avocado does sound like a weird flavor.

Photopass came especially in handy because there were only two of us. As I post more pictures you'll notice a certain pattern to the ones I took - I'm always on the right and the pictures are only of our top halves. That was the only way I could take a picture with both of us in it.

I think we saw four story tellers in all. Some were great, others just okay, but don't worry I will be posting my reviews.

ah i've finally made it over! i'm so sorry i'm a monthish late, but i caught up and I'm loving everything so far!

Your photo pass pictures are beautiful! We bought the CD as well and it was definitely worth it in my opinion. And I can't get over how goregous the weather was!

Me and Kayla didn't get to stop and see many of the storytellers but they always looked so awesome. I LOVE the world showcase though so I can't wait to hear about the rest of your time there!

I can't wait to read more! i'll definitaly stay caught up from now on!

No worries! Glad you finally made it over and that you like it so far!

We were really happy with our photopass pictures this trip. It may be because we stopped at so many photographers that we had like a million to choose from. I'm really glad I pre-ordered the CD.

The storytellers were a lot a fun, and they were something different from what we usually see in Epcot which was really neat.

Ahh, your Pop pictures make me miss it so much! That place is like home to me. We stay there all the time and have never felt like we were staying in a "value" resort. I'm so glad you loved staying there. I feel like more and more often I hear from people who usually stay in Deluxes that they tried Pop and loved it. In my opinion, no Disney Resort is a bad choice even if it's not one of the more luxurious ones. I find the 50's to be the most relaxing and quiet area as well, it's very nice over there.
