From Pop to the Top - Funtastic Adventures in the Summer Sun!

[tinkgurl]

Now it's officially a TR...shopping pics with MeMom.

*Sigh* I can definitely picture myself in that Pop lobby right now! We are actually taking Mom, Dad, and Sis over to show them the place!

 

[MeMom]

Just had a great time getting caught up on your TR, and one with shopping pictures too

Loved the girls matching 'jamas, have something similar in mind for my DDs to travel in - that flight from the UK is a long one and they'll need to be comfy! Wonder if I'd get away with Disney PJs too?

Love how generous you are with your photos and gifts for others, taking time to do things for others must give you lots of pleasure but still great that you do it whilst on your vacation. You've built a lovely little community right here on the Dis and hope that when our turn comes in Sept we'll be able to fulfil anyone else's wishes. Might try to get a PTR/TR going to collect photo requests, etc.

Those little pajama sets worked nicely. They were very lightweight and comfortable, and the girls were most assuredly put straight to bed when we got to Pop!

I was able to get to everything on the list, I think, except getting into the Swan and Dolphin resorts. Which also means I didn't get to see the Daisy's Gift Shop that someone wanted, for which I apologize. I really did want to get in there.

So glad that we could count on you for the shopping pics. I don't think I took a one!
A couple of the future executive onsies did make their way home with me though....

I love to shop at Pop!

You probably have at least one of most everything there is to be had in Disney World!!!

Nothing like sipping my coffee and looking at pics of POP

I didn't realize that I kinda missed it not being there last trip. Thanks for the shopping fix!

You are welcome. Did you get the postcards yet?

My girls used to sleep like this, too. I just love it!

As usual, I really enjoyed your morning stroll and shopping pics! Did you take Mickey waffles back for the girls?

Isn't it sweet - all tucked underneath? She's just a most precious baby anyway, in my opinion.

Can't wait to get back to POP! It is a great place and I'll get to take all kinds of new pictures with my new camera.

MeMom is right, the gift shop is one of the best.

I know you guys are starting to feel the excitement!
How's the housework coming for you? Didn't you say you were doing some refurbishing this summer?

I'm here, I'm here

I enjoyed following along on FB. I couldn't believe the start of the trip, but am glad it looks like it turned out much better for you guys.

On another note, I have on my calendar at home a possible Dis meet this Saturday? I'm not sure when I added it, but I think a while ago.

I know Jill won't be here. I think we put that down as trying to see tinkgurl when she comes through, but we might try to do that on her return journey back through. I'll get with her and with Jill and see what they say. We would love to see Abby and the new little one, as well.

I got this very shirt for Ty when I was at POP in Novemebr. His is size 12 months so to little for him now. He's 24 pounds he has been about the same weight since I got this shirt. He is just taller and leaner now since he runs all the time.



MeMom love all the pics. Can't wait to hear and see all about the rest of your trip. It will help pass the time until we go in October.

Good to know they do make them in the smaller sizes.

Let's keep telling ourselves that October will be here before we know it!

 

[MeMom]

I just got the chills looking at those merchandise photos, especially the pins! I love your pictures because they always make me feel as though I'm there, looking at the stuff myself. Luckily, i've been to the Everything Pop store so I can just imagine my surroundings too!

Just like CanadianWDWfan, we will be there in a little over a month as well!! I cant take it anymore!

It has its own smell, too. It seems like it always smells like chocolate chip cookies to me.

Now it's officially a TR...shopping pics with MeMom.

I didn't waste any time o the shopping, did I?

Yeah, they need to see it.

What day are you coming back through Nashville? We might try to hook up, if it works out for Jill and stasieki.

We will be in Nashville this Saturday, but that might be harder to meet up because we have more people in our group. But, we will be back in Nashville on the 31st.

Great start to the trip! I love all of the pictures and the details that you have put it into the report. It gives the shopping bug, though! Now I want a new Mickey T-shirt!!!!

 

[disney<333]

Yay, you started! The girls are so cute in their PJs.
Ughh, not the best way to start the trip. It would of been worse on the way back, though, if that had happened. At least you had 10 days of Disney fun to look into.
Thanks for the shopping trip. It was a nice start after coming home from the airport at 10:00 with a broken AC.

 

[burly]

thanks for the shopping fix today! Love shopping in WDW and thinking about all the stuff i will buy when i win the lottery!

 

[Cat0727]

yay, shopping pics! I never get tired of seeing the Everything Pop store.

The Mickey shirts are really cute. They are so hard to resist, aren't they?

 

[TCKK]

What a nice lunch break for me...getting to see shopping pictures at Everything POP. Made the Chef Boyardee Ravioli taste better. Love shopping there.

We're not going to get to go in August, but I believe so far the December trip is still in the works. I don't recall ever going in December, so I'm really excited to see the Christmas decorations like you've shown us in past reports.

We'll still be taking DD to college and I'm sure we'll go to Downtown Disney but we just won't be going to the parks this trip. But that's okay, because I can just enjoy your pictures and report and pretend I'm there.

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

I can't wait to be able to buy Claire one of those first trip t-shirts!

Love the shopping pics!

Is the 31st a Saturday, too? Maybe Jill and the girls can come up. We'll have to meet somewhere other than the hippo. Maybe just over there in that same area, though.

Great start to the trip! I love all of the pictures and the details that you have put it into the report. It gives the shopping bug, though! Now I want a new Mickey T-shirt!!!!

It helps me not to buy so much. I have learned to be happy with just taking a picture of certain things and having time to think about my purchases.

Yay, you started! The girls are so cute in their PJs.

I know that is going to happen to me any day. My central unit has already done its duty and more. Every day that it works, I am amazed and appreciative.

thanks for the shopping fix today! Love shopping in WDW and thinking about all the stuff i will buy when i win the lottery!

Oooh, I wanna win the lottery, too!!!

yay, shopping pics! I never get tired of seeing the Everything Pop store.

The Mickey shirts are really cute. They are so hard to resist, aren't they?

If only I had money, every one of these new Disney babies would have cute little Disney outfits on the way to them, and alll the big kids would have fun toys, and all the grown-ups would have Disney surprises...

If only I had money.

You can get a lot of Disney in without going to a park. Besides DTD, would you have time to go to a resort to eat and walk around?

I can't wait to be able to buy Claire one of those first trip t-shirts!

Love the shopping pics!

I thought of you and Heather and Kim when I saw the pink ones. I don't know why I didn't take a picture of it at the same time I did the blue one.

Hey that's a really good idea. I never even thought of that. I'll have to talk to DH and see what we can work out. I know I'm going to get a bit of a Disney fix and as long as I'm pretty sure we can work out the December trip and I can read your report, I'll be okay with that.

You could eat at Poly and see EWP and Wishes on the beach or go over to AKL and see the animals. Either one of those would be great for squeezing in some Disney time on a non-Disney trip.

Or both would be good, depending on how many days you have.
Supper at Kona or 'Ohana followed by fireworks on the beach and breakfast at Boma and a few giraffes to greet you in the morning....

Nice.

And if you're in DTD anyway, you could always take the boat down the Sassagoula River and have some beignets at POFQ.

Oh yeah, we can get some Disney into this trip alright!!!

Forgive me. I have to realize everyone is not as obsessed as I am.

 

[disneychic]

YAY!!!! I'm finally all caught up! Can't wait to read the rest of your report....I need something to help me pass the next 45 days before my next trip to WDW!!!

 

[Happydog]

Hey MeMom! Loved the early morning shots, so nice and peaceful! Great shopping pics, too! WHAT Monorail Teeshirt??!! I gotta see it! I was thinking about those retro Tshirts for my guys too, maybe the Disneyland one, but they have plenty of Mickey clothes for now I think... just got new Star Wars inspired shirts... I like it for me, though! I have never been to Pop but everything you have shared makes it so inviting!!! I love the mega shop! WOW! And I loved those POP! Waffles!!!

Boo on the training, but I know how that goes!

Trust me I believe DH and I are both as obsessed as you! Thanks for all the good ideas.

Everything has been ordered and hopefully the contractor will start next Monday. It will be great to get it all done; make it feel like having a new house.

 

[jenjolt]

Oh MeMom!! What a great update!! I just adore shopping with you!! I always see something I have to buy LOL!! I love the vintage Mickey t-shirts especially the yellow one you showed!! The baby outfits are so cute, makes me want to have a little one to dress up Disney style!!!!

Those pins are awesome!!! I really like the flamingo one!!!!!

Can't wait for more updates! You and Jill have the best TRs!!!! Thank you for sharing!

 

[mickeyfan71]

Memom, how far south of Atlanta are y'all wanting to travel?

 

[MeMom]

YAY!!!! I'm finally all caught up! Can't wait to read the rest of your report....I need something to help me pass the next 45 days before my next trip to WDW!!!

It could be a little sporadic for the next couple of weeks, so forgive us if we're not prompt for the first part of your 45 day wait. We've got work, school-related activities, church camp, and a birthday party all on our plates. We will try not to go too many days, though, without an update. I usually can do them in the early morning hours even if there are things going on.

It'll be boring, but the pay off is having the full week in October.

I'll get a picture of the monorail t-shirt.

Trust me I believe DH and I are both as obsessed as you! Thanks for all the good ideas.

You can't be that close to Disney World and not make the most of your opportunities.

Everything has been ordered and hopefully the contractor will start next Monday. It will be great to get it all done; make it feel like having a new house.

How nice. I need to do so much to this house! I watch HGTV and realize what a mess this place is even more, but I can't fathom not going to Disney World for 2-3 years in order to pay for all the work it needs. Maybe when it falls on my head, it'll knock some sense into me.

I like the flamingo one, too. I have almost picked it up a few times.

We enjoy sharing, so we are glad you enjoy the reports.

Memom, how far south of Atlanta are y'all wanting to travel?

Well, Jackie was telling us about Kennesaw and how nice and safe it was, along with it having a Disney Store mall, so that is sounding good. That would be north, though. If you know of a place south of Atlanta that has all that, I am up for looking at that to help make the drive easier on Trent. As it is, he'll be doing twice the driving we will, so I was just thinking if we could go a little extra way south of Atlanta, that might help him a little.
