It was to be a SURPRISE trip, but I blew it May 2012 PTR (New May 9 )

[shan23877]

Jasmine got some cute stuff! I really love the shorts. I can't believe that I haven't seen that shirt at Target (my favorite store on Earth as well, in fact I just got back from there ). I look every week for cute tops!

Kohls does have some nice things too, I got 3 dresses there last month for a very reasonable price. I might wear one to Cali Grill!

Hooray for Pop! One of my favourite resorts.

We are looking forward to staying....last time we stayed here was 2006 and Hurricane Ernesto rained on our parade...here's hoping for better luck this time!

Can't wait to see your pics! Did you just drive down for the day to Grand Forks?
Sounds fun!
Debbie

Yes just for the day....I think half of Wpg was there for spring break!

I can't wait to see her purchases!

All of the reviews say that Pop's buses are better. Not sharing buses has to have its advantages! (and $500 savings! )

Dh and I enjoyed Pop. I think the food court and store are great!

Next month, you'll be in Disney!!!

Some pictures in honor of your resort switch:

Thanks for the pics Debby I do remember loving the shop there! I am excited about not sharing a bus with all the other Values that's for sure!

Yay on moving to Pop!! You know I love that resort!

We will definitely be thinking of you when we are there!

I know Music is your tradition but I think you girls are going to love Pop! The
staff there is among the best we've encountered at ANY resort in WDW and the theming is so fun! We've tried all the values and it really is our favorite.

for extra shopping money! That's always nice to have And lastly for being able to say "next month"!!

I think I had a bad taste only because the last time with Hurricane Ernesto really changed our plans alot. I'm hoping we enjoy the resort more this time!

We are very excited about our extra shopping money!

Wow! $500 off AND Pop Century!? I LOVE Pop!!
I wish we were a little closer to the boarder and could drive down to do some shopping. Can't wait to see the new purchases!

I'm so happy to hear how many of you love Pop....that's making me feel better about switching too! Living so close is good and bad....it's way to easy to wake up in the morning and thing DAY TRIP and hit the road

I can't wait for your TR! You should just leave tomorrow....

That sounds like a fine idea!

Yay Pop!! Now that you've changed we'll be there at the same time and same resort! How funny. We put in a room request for the Lady building (Building 1) so we are hoping we'll get that request! We were in the 90's building on our last trip and it was actually really close to the bus stop when you cut through the parking lot. Can't wait to see all the shopping items!

That's so great! If you see us, make sure you say hi!!! Last time we stayed in the lady building but not overlooking the pool the side overlooking the parking lot LOL

Those tops are so adorable. I especially love the Mickey Mouse with the kisses! DH and I are heading to Halifax next month and I can't wait to shop for Disney clothes! There's a Dynamite there too, I love that store

 

[Queenofallthings]

Awe. We are going the same day. I am hoping to wake our 12 year old by sending our 2 year old to jump on his bed yelling we are going to disney. I hope it works. You have reminded me to be more careful. The good news is we are going with all my husbands relatives in Nov. so if he hears me talking he thinks I am talking about Nov. Good luck! Have fun and maybe we'll see you there(hahaha).

7 Weeks Woo Hoo!

I love that idea! Your 12 year old is going to be so excited! It's so great to have a backup plan in case something slips! If you see us make sure you come over and say hi, would love to see you!

Yay for switching to Pop! Personally, Pop is my favourite Value resort. I hope it becomes yours too. It's SO much better not having to share buses between other resorts. Also, I find Pop to be much less busier than the All Star resorts. Oh I just know you're going to love it! And congrats on saving $500 buckaroos! That's a huge savings

I am getting more and more excited after seeing everyone's comments! Saving that much has really put a smile on my face!

Pop Century truly is a great resort--you will not regret that move!

I am so happy with all these positive comments!

Yay for switching to Pop. I finally decided last week that me and DBF are going down May 21st to 25th and we are staying at pop too! It would be so cool if we ran into each other!! I just started a PTR and the link is in my signature if you'd like to check it out!

I would love to see you guys! We'll have to exchange numbers before we leave and maybe we could text and meet up one day! Subbed to your PTR!!!!

YAY for saving $500! That's great! Sounds like extra money for another shopping trip!

I thought of that too! How could I sneak in one more states trip before we leave

Pop looks like such fun! and saving $500 sounds great

Love that Jasmine charmed the border guy and was able to avoid paying the duty on her shoes!!

Once I got the confirmation that it was actually booked and that I really did save that much I did a little happy dance!

A 500 dollar saving for switching to Pop...well if you needed any sign at all that taking a trip to WDW was a good idea...you have it!!! That's wonderful, and that leaves more money to play around with/and or keep.

And Pop is such a fun resort!

When I read your post I thought "she's absolutely right" it is a great sign that this trip was meant to be! Thanks!

Oooohhh, I can't wait to see your purchases
and congrats on the GREAT discount! that is SO awesome!!!

Thanks so much...pics are up now!

Yay for switching to POP!!!! I'm glad she was able to work that out for you

Me too! I was getting worried because a week had passed but when we connected on Thursday she said it's been crazy busy down there so it was the first chance she got to contact me to actually book!! Thanks so much

She really did! The shorts are stretchy too so they are super comfy (Jasmine wanted me to tell you that).

Jasmine bought a few dresses at Kohl's last year and they were so cute! I do love that store! Oh yes, you have to wear one to Cali Grill and then post all about it

Those tops are so adorable. I especially love the Mickey Mouse with the kisses! DH and I are heading to Halifax next month and I can't wait to shop for Disney clothes! There's a Dynamite there too, I love that store

Aren't they cute? Dynamite is her favorite store here...she goes in at least once a week to see if they have anything new Have fun in Halifax!

 

[amazingact21]

Very cute outfits! I'd say Jasmine had a successful shopping trip...I especially like the shirt from Kohl's. But, then again, anything with that color on it, I like. I also really liked the Mickey shirt.

 

[racefanof88]

I love Jasmine's clothes!!! They are so cute and I know they look amazing on her!!

I can't believe they put a high charge on shoes . Why shoes? I would think luxury, or convenience items, but not necessities like shoes!! Well, nobody ever said government taxes make sense

 

[Sam33]

Cutest shorts EVER.

That makes me want to go summer clothes shopping That's totally included in the Disney budget, right? Even though we leave in November? Lol

 

[snowwhitesmom]

Hey there! Still here, just quiet. You will LOVE POP!

 

[onescgirl]

Congrats on the switch-over to POP & saving $ !!
I have always wanted to stay at POP but it never works out
I love ALL of Jasmine's clothes! They are so cute & will look great on her as she is so cute too!

I would agree, a very successful trip! I loved that shirt...she had her heart set on another one but once she tried that one on it was a done deal!

It was one of those trips where everything she tried looked great, it doesn't always work out that way but I was sure happy it did this time!

I have no idea why they tax shoes at such a high rate! I plan on stocking up when my bff and I go in October for our trip! As of Jun 1 they are putting our limit from $400 up to $800....

Cutest shorts EVER.

She got very similar pairs at Target for $17.99 which I thought was a great price! She picked up a black pair and a tan pair!

It is absolutely in the budget...doesn't matter when the trip is....(honey, I can justify anything, need any help, just hollar)

Hey there! Still here, just quiet. You will LOVE POP!

Hey girl! Missed you We are both looking forward to the change....I was even happier when Jasmine pointed out the last time we were there it was hurricane season, it's not hurricane season this time

Congrats on the switch-over to POP & saving $ !!
I have always wanted to stay at POP but it never works out
I love ALL of Jasmine's clothes! They are so cute & will look great on her as she is so cute too!

Thanks Amy

She still thinks she needs more....what is she going to do when she's not working full time and going to school....I have a feeling she will go into shopping withdrawal

 

[PirateKate]

I prefer Pop Century to the All Stars, too. I don't know, somehow everything there just seems a little newer and nice than the All Stars. And that tie dye cheesecake is really good.

Love all Jasmine's new clothes!

 

[wakica]

oh man! SUCH cute stuff!!! I wish I had such luck with shopping I can't wait to put DD's outfits together for our trip now.

Are you and the rest of the 'Toba gang interested in coming along?

 

[MHTeacher]

Cute clothes! Here's another who votes Target as her favorite store. Last year on Black Friday, they had associates at the door checking receipts as you walked out. I went to show mine to the guy at the door, and he said, "Never mind, I see you in here all the time!"

 

[Missyrose]

First off, a big HOORAY to getting a CM discount on your resort!!!!

Jasmine's clothes are super cute. That Mickey shirt is especially adorable! I can't believe you guys will be in Disney NEXT MONTH! I'm so envious.

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

Hi, wow some great things have happened around here!

You will love POP...it's our favorite! Fantastic savings!!!

I often catch myself referring to it while I'm talking about the May trip.
No..we are not staying there... I'm just so used to it.
It will be awesome staying in the Royal Room but a part of me will miss POP.
If we were staying there this trip it would have made for an easier meet.

Glad you had a successful shopping trip. Jasmine got some cute things.

I went to the States a few weeks back and then again on Friday. (half of Canada was there too)
Love shopping at all the different places.
Don't love paying the duty though.

Take Care

Glad to hear it! We are really looking forward to it! Jasmine is off today and we're going shopping so there may be a few new purchases

oh man! SUCH cute stuff!!! I wish I had such luck with shopping I can't wait to put DD's outfits together for our trip now.

Thanks! I'm with you, once it comes time to start putting outfits together....it's our favorite part of the planning! I guess I'd be more excited if everything looked great on me like it does on her

Oh my goodness, how much fun would that be? Peg and family are already booked on back to back cruises sometime in 2013 (not sure exact dates) as she is turning the big 5-0 next year so wanted an extra special holiday! I turn the big 5-0 in 2014 I'll probably have a weekend in Brandon

Yay for Target! Love that the staff know you so well there! Doesn't that make you feel special....love it!

How lucky are we? I was so happy that she offered it to us but felt guilty taking it. She set me straight pretty quick to just take it! So I did

Isn't that Mickey shirt cute? She spotted it across the store and headed straight for it!

I can't either...I still have so much to do

I have my head wrapped around the fact that we're now staying at Pop...I keep picturing Music and then think nope, not going there

I bet last Fri was a zoo down there! The day we went half of Wpg was there too....so many Jet's Jersey's everywhere!

Hope you have a great weekend!

 

[Queenofallthings]

Mornin everyone!

Up bright and early to get a jump on what should be a very busy day! I have a hair appt at 10am then come home, pick up my girl and head to get our first pedicures of the season After that we'll stop at the car wash then head over to the box stores to get a little shopping in!

My goal today is to at least get new sandals for the trip! That's a must...last year my calves were soar every night and I figure it's because the support was going in my sandals! Then we'll head to the clothing stores and see what we can find! Hopefully I can pick up a couple of shorts and tops today! Jas wants another Jet's t-shirt but I told her I'm not driving all the way downtown on a Saturday when I work 2 blocks from the arena and can pick her up one on my lunch.....she agreed with that!

Sometime in there we'll squeeze in a girls lunch and hopefully have a very productive day! Wish us luck!
