We got back last night from 7 magical nights at Pop Century. This was DD's birthday trip & she got so much special attention wearing her b-day button, from being picked to be in the pirate show with Captain Jack :love: to having the Dapper Dans sing Happy Birthday to her on Main Street, it was just incredible.

The love bugs were terrible when we first got there. They were all over everything & we were constantly flicking bugs off us :eek: but the last two days we noticed there were considerably less of them & I think they are just about gone.

We did Expedition Everest twice. Wow. It was really intense. We both liked it much better the second time we rode because we knew what to expect. The first time was just too much to take in.

We also did Soarin twice. Incredible. It takes your breath away. What a fantastic ride. I'm terribly afraid of heights so I was a little uneasy about this ride, so we requested row three the first time since that row does not go up as high as the others. I had no problem at all with this ride & would have ridden in the first row if it were available the second time.

We finally went to a water park this trip. I have never been to either BB or TL on any of our previous trips. I'm not a water park person at all & didn't think I would like it. I very grudgingly took DD on Sat. & was pleasantly suprised! We had an absolute blast! The tube slides were just my speed & the lazy river was so relaxing. We really enjoyed the wave pool too. I would definately do TL again in the future.

The crowds were very low. The only waits we encountered were on the weekend. We went to AK on Sat. & found it pretty crowded but still managable.

Went to the Halloween party on 10/2 & loved it! We saw the parade, did Stitch's dance party, saw the wizard show, the villians mix & mingle, face painting & got lots of treats. We didn't see nearly as many characters as we had hoped. I really wanted to see all 7 Dwarfs together but we never saw them. Don't know if they were out that night or not.

Ok back to unpacking. I hope to post some pictures later. :sunny:
 
Thanks for the great report! Welcome back!

I was wondering; did you do the Disney Visa Meet and Greet at Epcot? Trying to figure out if it's been extended past Sept 30.

Thanks again!
 
No, actually I never heard of the Disney Visa Meet and Greet. Where in Epcot is it located?

It is/was in Innovations West near the fire truck.
 

We did the meet and great on the 24th and the 28th. The people in front of us was talking to the CM about hearing that it was going to be extended. The CM had not heard anything about it but was going to check into it.....sorry that didn't answer your question I know.

I have to agree about the love bugs. Our 1st day by the pool at the Dolphin was short since they were EVERYWHERE!!! By the time our last day rolled around, I think I saw a total of 2.

I had a first-timer with me and we ended up on it 3xs - would have done it more, but had MANY MORE rides to take in!!! :teeth:
