I'm working on it!

When I last left off, we had just pulled into Pop Century. We had kept our carry ons with us, so we hopped off the bus and headed right inside to check in.













There were only a few people in the on-line check-in line, so we didn't have long to wait. I had booked a king bed room and requested a ground floor room. When we got our packet, the CM showed us that our room was on the 4th floor of Building 10. I asked her if she could possibly change us to a first floor room. She said she would look. After a minute or two, she told us she found a ground floor room in Building 9. She also gave me a birthday button!

On our way to check out our room, we stopped into Everything Pop to pick up our refillable mugs. My receipt shows that it was now 7:31pm. The mugs would have cost ~$28.00 but we got them free (thanks to free QS dining)!!!

I actually took this next picture after we were home, but I'm including it here for continuity.



We both got the same color, because we didn't see until the next day that they had different color lids. I'm glad to have the mugs for home use, but I never used mine after that first night. Tom used his a lot, though.

We found our room fairly easily, and opened the door. This is what we saw.



This was not going to do! So, we trekked all the way back to check-in. This time we got a different CM. I explained the situation, and he looked on his computer. Then he went in the back and spoke to someone. When he came out, he explained that all the king bed rooms were gone, but we could move to one in the morning. I was disappointed, but decided not to let it ruin the trip. I also did not want the hassle of moving. So we kept the room. Tom didn't care one way or the other. So once again, we trekked back to the room.

Here are the official room pictures.















Up next...where do we eat?

It worked out OK. We pretended we were Lucy and Ricky and slept in separate beds.

Nice pics of the Pop lobby! It's too bad you didn't get the room you wanted but it sounds like you kept a good attitude about it!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Oh my goodness those cinnamon rolls!!! Do you have any left?! If so, I'm on my way!!!!! They look sooooooo good!!!

Sorry about the bed! I love the Lucy and Ricky comment!!! I kept telling DH that our next bed is either goingto be a king sized bed or 2 twins a la THe Flintstones!!!

Hey, after dreaming about this trip for so long, there was no way I was going to let that ruin it!

I ate one roll and was sooo full, so there are a lot left!

Tom and I had a double bed for the first 9 years of our marriage. For the last 9 we've had a king. I don't know how we did without it.

 

[podsnel]

Those rolls!!!
Wow, they are just incredible- I think I'm going to have to look up that recipe- my kids would LOVE them!!

Sorry about the double beds- we slept in a double for 20 years before we went to a King- and there is just no goin' back!!

So true!

Bummer about booking the king room and then getting two doubles. That's just wrong. Denny and I had a king last December at POFQ and it really was great. But I knew our chances for a king at POP were slim to none, so I didn't even bother. You did a great job getting your room pictures before you "messed" up the room. I can never manage to do that!

I laid down the law! I also made sure he didn't put anything on the bed until I had checked for bed bugs!

I'm here, thanks for letting me know you started your TR.

Raven is just adorable!! It was great that your hubby upgraded you to business class!! I loved all the pictures from MCO.

Those cinnamon rolls look wonderful!

So sorry you didn't get a king room at Pop. Thanks for showing us the Christmas tree. We really do enjoy Pop.

Thanks so much for coming over! I'm having a great time re-living the trip, but I don't want to go too fast on the report!

 

[princess&her4princes]

Hi! I'm here too...just noticed you started your own TR! YAY!! I'm sooo behind on my own...but we're getting snowed in tomorrow, so hope to start back up! Hope you don't mind me joining along!!

Of course I don't mind; I'm glad you're here! We got about 18 inches of snow today and it's still coming down!

 

[oybolshoi]

I made it - thanks for letting me know you started!

Happy belated birthday to you!!

You've made a great start so far and I love the pics - and allow me to offer you a ... ... for making cinnamon rolls from scratch. They look amazing and I bet they taste even better.

And I'm really touched that you would even say I'm your TR idol ... you've gone and made me all blushy now.

Are you sure you don't want to come to Disney during F&W? We could have some really good times!!

 

[Diamondintheruff]

Those cinnamon buns look fantastic.

Sorry you didn't get your king bed. We have one at home and the posters are so right. It's hard to go back to a double.

Sorry about all the snow. We've only had one stormy day up my way so far. the kids are disapointed we don't have as much snow as they'd like for Christmas.
