Just when you thought you've seen all the MAGIC! **See Page 95 for PTR!!!!**

love the photos of your girls with grandpa! :lovestruc
bummer about the eggs, that's quite the mess to clean up!

POP is our "home: too! way to score the extra night for just a buck :cool1:

does this mean another trip in October :confused3 knew you wouldn't last a whole year :rolleyes1
 
Wow...you found my dream car!!!! :rotfl2:

Yay! You are at Pop.. :hippie:

I'm pretty sure I know who one of your Dis meets are...well I know who one is, I just can't remember if that was your 1st day there or not. :rotfl:
 
So I thought I might have been gone for the DIS too long but . . . then I read several references to the whip photo and Marv's lack of updates and I realized nothing much changes - LOL!

I am all caught up and ready to go! So glad you got that extra night at POP and did not have to switch rooms. I hope to go back and finishing reading your WISH TR but we shall see. Mel looks great and of course so does Miss photogenic Juliana. There is plenty of Yuengling here if you want to make a road trip (and Hersheypark is only 20 minutes away). We look for and find hidden Mickeys everywhere too. It is great that you got to spend time with Mel's Grandpa - my DD (Jordan) has three great-grandmas but no great-grandpas left.

You will not be getting any popcorns from me - I need the extra time to catch up!

Why? Just...why? :confused:
 

:yay: for being able to stay at Pop for an extra night and not have to switch hotels!

Everything Pop is such a good gift shop!

Juliana is adorable smiling with her puppy :cutie:
 
We packed our bags and I ended up making breakfast for everyone. It was going well until I dropped a whole bowl of uncooked scrambled eggs on the floor. Woops!
You just swept them under the rug, grabbed the girls and headed for Disney, didn't you? Right about now Mel's grandfather is wandering his house, wondering where that horrible stench is coming from....

We were going to leave before noon, but the space shuttle was going to be flying over Bradenton at 11:55. We thought it would be cool to try to see it. It was a partly cloudy day and we were hoping the big white puffy clouds weren't going to obscure our view. We we sitting outside waiting to see it. 11:54 came and went- so did 11:55, 11:56, 11:57. I went inside to check to see where the shuttle was. All of the sudden there were 2 loud bangs.. I ran outside and looked to the sky. Unfortunately, we didn't see the shuttle but we heard the sonic booms.
The booms are still pretty cool!

We chose I4 towards Orlando. It wasn't long before we saw something familiar.
You have chosen.....wisely.

St. Patricks Duffys!
I will not be heartbroken when Disney decides that Duffy was a bad idea and pulls every last one of them. I'm not holding my breath, though.


Hey! I didn't know Fed was down there too!
Crud, you beat me to it!
 
All caught up. <pant,pant>


Sorry you dropped the eggs, that is quite a mess to clean up.

Yes the lastcouple of days have been horrible Dis wise- cant get on, every posttakes forever....

It does let me catch up a bit though. :)

I sense the part about you being adamant that you were only interested in the room if you didn't have to switch might be a hint of things to come???
 
Melody looks gorgeous in all the pictures. And Juliana looks sooooo happy to be back! :goodvibes Can't wait to see where you all go next!
 
Dang, I missed an update last night.:headache: That's what I get for going to bed early. Won't make that mistake again...;)

Great update! I love all the sweet pictures with Mel's grandfather. And hello, Ana looks HUGE! Good grief, what are you feeding her??

Scrambled raw eggs on the floor? Sounds delish, not! Ewww!:eek:

Ok, please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that car looks ridiculous.

Hmm, Tampa or Florida? That's a toughie...:rolleyes:

Oh, I never get tired of seeing that glorious Disney sign:cheer2:!! I wish I were seeing it right now actually :sad1:.

Awesome score on adding another night!!! Does that mean that Mel stopped being angry with you then?:laughing: Seriously for a dollar more, that's just an incredible steal. When we stayed at the GF in Feb., we decided to add an extra night and the concierge CM booked it for us at 50% off! I still have no idea how he did that.

Ana and Puppy look adorable :cutie: together! I'm guessing she was just a tad excited to be back at Disney, just a tad.:laughing:

Two Dismeets?? I bet I know who they both were...:rolleyes1
 
When we woke up we were a little excited... today we were driving from Bradenton to Disney!!
Definitely something to be excited about!:thumbsup2

I wonder if we would of made it there any faster if we were driving this?
Something tells me you probably wouldn't get by with speeding...:confused3

The CM was typing away on her computer and made a few calls. After a few minutes she said it was possible and it would only cost us $1 more than moving to the other hotel I had booked for Sunday night. That sounded good to me! The check in process went smoothly and we were on our way to....
Awesome news!
I really like POP. :thumbsup2
 
Subscribing!

I was reading your Previous trip report before we went in January. I hope you won't make me all mushy eyed in this one too.... ;)



TL
 
Sorry about the egg drop, but how nice for Mel's grandfather to get his floor cleaned ;) It's so wonderful that you were able to visit her grandfather as part of your vacation. Looks like you had a wonderful time there!
It was a fun time with Melody's grandfather and pretty relaxing too. Glad we had a few days to chill out before Disney. ;)

It was too cloudy from my house to see the shuttle too, but we stood out there trying to see it.
Did you hear the sonic booms???

So nice to see the Pop signs and the Everything Pop pics this morning. We are heading back to Pop for a stay soon! What was your favorite thing about Pop? How did you like staying in the 50's section?
I like the oversized statues throughout the resort, I like how it is 'in your face'. POP just screams Disney to me. The 50's were nice. We were near the parking lot which is fine with me. We leave the room in the a.m. and don't return till late at night. We are in the room to sleep so it was fine.

Sounds like you got a great deal on that extra night!! Only $1 more and no repacking!!
Well by reading these responses... I think I confused people! HAHA.

We booked the other hotel for $115 for Sunday night- by getting our checkout extended for a day at POP we had to pay $116- One dollar more than the other hotel. It was worth staying at POP and not moving for only $1. I hope this all makes sense. :lmao:

Love the St. Patricks Duffys! My little boy is a huge Duffy fan!
Seem like people have a love hate relationship with Duffy. :rolleyes1






Awesome update! Great family pics. Juliana is soo photogenic, just love that smile. :thumbsup2
Thank you!!!! I might have 1 or 2 more pics of Juliana HAMing it up! :lmao::lmao:





nice update tim! 2 sonic booms are better then nothing.:thumbsup2
Very TRUE!!! Just like 2 Dole Whips are better than none too!





:woohoo::woohoo: for being able to get that POP add on!! No one ever wants to leave Disney, but having to do it a day early would have been tragic!

Well, the other hotel I had booked was across from DTD so we wouldn't have been too far, but it was nice being able to stay in the room for the extra night. :goodvibes

Were you trying to juggle the eggs Tim?
Juggling.gif
LOL.. nah, I think my mind was in other places at the moment and I wasn't paying full attention to what I was doing. :rolleyes1

That car, wow. Really. I understand the whole lift thing on trucks, but a sedan??
This could be a Florida thing? :confused3





So I guess the dog ate well, then.
I forgot this part of the story till now.... Melody took the fall for me. She told her grandfather that she spilled the eggs. I just looked at her when she told him and I kept my mouth SHUT!

Hey! I didn't know Fed was down there too!
:lmao::lmao:

I wish there was a bass boat hooked up to that car. :rotfl2:

:rolleyes: Oh, come on. This is like asking, "Brussels sprouts or ice cream?"
True!!!! I'll take the brussels sprouts! Wait a min.... :confused3
 
Responses in pink
Hey if you need a babysitter in Oct. for the trip you "may have planned" I'm available.
Thanks for all the responses!! :goodvibes

Well this is a possible October 2012 trip- there are so many variables. We'll see what happens.. thanks for the offer to babysit! :thumbsup2 :goodvibes






Great Pix of Mel's Grandfather with you guys !!! I have to admit I was extremely nostalgic looking at the pix of Pop!!!I always feel like I'm coming HOME when I see the sign POP CENTURY!!!!
I know you love POP... We were in the gift shopa few times and I kept looking for your friend to tell her you said hi but I never saw her. :sad2:






So glad to see you were going to wait until the morning to do this.

Come'on Kat, you should know when I update by now! :lmao:

Glad you got to hear the sonic booms, but :sad2: you didn't get to see it.
Figures I was inside when it happened. :sad2:

You dropped the eggs????
Doesn't that mean company is coming? :confused3 :lmao:

Nice job on which way to go.
Thanks!!!! I was really leaning towards Tampa. :scared:

LOVE this picture...Ana and her puppy.
Thanks! You think Juliana was a bit excited being there?





Nice update.....Love how happy puppy & Ana look at POP!
Juliana was soooo excited to be here... (so were her parrents ;))

I'm bummed that they rescheduled the shuttle for 5/10 ... Joe was hoping for a launch the next week so he could see it. oh well.
That stinks!! :headache: Maybe you will get lucky! :thumbsup2




Yeah an update!!!

Thought you were turning into Don.
I could NEVER be that bad! :rotfl2:

Mel's Grandpa has got the Walter Mathow look doesn't he.
LOL He looks the same in every picture! At least he is consistent! :lmao:




love the photos of your girls with grandpa!
bummer about the eggs, that's quite the mess to clean up!
Lucky for me, Melody helped with the cleanup! :worship:

POP is our "home: too! way to score the extra night for just a buck
Not sure if you saw the 'other' explanation. I will copy and paste it again...

We booked the other hotel for $115 for Sunday night- by getting our checkout extended for a day at POP we had to pay $116- One dollar more than the other hotel. It was worth staying at POP and not moving for only $1. I hope this all makes sense.

does this mean another trip in October :confused3 knew you wouldn't last a whole year :rolleyes1
Well, we were thinking October 2012. That is a LONG way away! :sad1:






Wow...you found my dream car!!!!
LOL!!!! I can get you a good deal on it! :drive:

Yay! You are at Pop.. :hippie:
Isn't it so fun there???

I'm pretty sure I know who one of your Dis meets are...well I know who one is, I just can't remember if that was your 1st day there or not. :rotfl:
hummm.... guess you will have to wait to see who it is! :surfweb:
 
So I thought I might have been gone for the DIS too long but . . . then I read several references to the whip photo and Marv's lack of updates and I realized nothing much changes - LOL!
:rotfl2::rotfl2:
You are right... some things never change!!!! Welcome!!! nice to see you again! :goodvibes

I am all caught up and ready to go! So glad you got that extra night at POP and did not have to switch rooms. I hope to go back and finishing reading your WISH TR but we shall see. Mel looks great and of course so does Miss photogenic Juliana. There is plenty of Yuengling here if you want to make a road trip (and Hersheypark is only 20 minutes away). We look for and find hidden Mickeys everywhere too. It is great that you got to spend time with Mel's Grandpa - my DD (Jordan) has three great-grandmas but no great-grandpas left.
Don't forget the chapter links at the beginning of the report... it will halp you skim through. :goodvibes

I went to Hershey Park as a kid... can you smell the chocolate from where you live?

I think I need to cross the boarder to buy some Yuengling.. they sell it in NY.

Aww... poor Jordan. :sad1:

You will not be getting any popcorns from me - I need the extra time to catch up!
Thanks!!! :lmao:





Why? Just...why?
Good questions! I can't answer them though. :sad2:





:yay: for being able to stay at Pop for an extra night and not have to switch hotels!
It made our Sunday morning (and Saturday night) so much easier. Not to mention we lost an hour from the clocks changing on Sunday am. It could of been bad if we had to be out of the room.

Everything Pop is such a good gift shop!
You are right! It is full of so many goodies!

Juliana is adorable smiling with her puppy
thanks! :goodvibes






You just swept them under the rug, grabbed the girls and headed for Disney, didn't you? Right about now Mel's grandfather is wandering his house, wondering where that horrible stench is coming from....
LOL.. that would of been the better thing to do. Mel took the fall for me though. What a great wife I have! (I hope she is reading this.. she probably isn't though)

You have chosen.....wisely.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!

I will not be heartbroken when Disney decides that Duffy was a bad idea and pulls every last one of them. I'm not holding my breath, though.
I knew someone around here didn't like Duffy! :rolleyes:




All caught up. <pant,pant>
Take a deep breath there!!! Relax, it's ok!

Sorry you dropped the eggs, that is quite a mess to clean up.
It wasn't fun but my wife helped me! :thumbsup2

Yes the lastcouple of days have been horrible Dis wise- cant get on, every posttakes forever....

It does let me catch up a bit though. :)
It was been horrible the last few days.... pages not loading, getting kicked out, etc... Hopefully it will get better soon. Maybe they need to do some maintenance. :confused3





I sense the part about you being adamant that you were only interested in the room if you didn't have to switch might be a hint of things to come???
You want me to spoil it for you?????



Actually, there was no room drama after this. Although, I had ticket drama! :woohoo: :sad2::sad2:






So glad you got the room for another day and for only a $1 that is a great deal :cool1:
Well, it was only a $1 more than what we had the other room booked for, so it still cost me $116. ;) But hey, we didn't have to chance rooms or hotels!





Melody looks gorgeous in all the pictures. And Juliana looks sooooo happy to be back! :goodvibes Can't wait to see where you all go next!
Thanks Tina!!!! I think you have eaten where we were heading for dinner. ;)
 
Dang, I missed an update last night.:headache: That's what I get for going to bed early. Won't make that mistake again...;)
LOL... hopefully you aren't up tonight waiting for an update from me! :rolleyes1

Great update! I love all the sweet pictures with Mel's grandfather. And hello, Ana looks HUGE! Good grief, what are you feeding her??
The kid eats good, what can I say? :lmao::lmao:
She is actually at 50% for height. I am kinda sad, I wanted her to be tall! She should be taller than her mom though. ;)

Scrambled raw eggs on the floor? Sounds delish, not! Ewww!
It looked pretty gross too!

Ok, please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that car looks ridiculous.
I wonder how it handles? I like a tricked out car but that does look quite dumb.

Hmm, Tampa or Florida? That's a toughie...:rolleyes:
HAHA.. that's what I was thinking!

Oh, I never get tired of seeing that glorious Disney sign:cheer2:!! I wish I were seeing it right now actually
Me too!!! :sad1:

Awesome score on adding another night!!! Does that mean that Mel stopped being angry with you then?:laughing: Seriously for a dollar more, that's just an incredible steal. When we stayed at the GF in Feb., we decided to add an extra night and the concierge CM booked it for us at 50% off! I still have no idea how he did that.
Well.... it was a $1 more than the other hotel I booked. I had to pay $116 at POP, the other hotel for Sunday night was $115. ;)

Ana and Puppy look adorable :cutie: together! I'm guessing she was just a tad excited to be back at Disney, just a tad.
It's hard to see, but Puppy still sports her Disney Princess shirt! princess: <-- Where did that princess smilie go?

Two Dismeets?? I bet I know who they both were...:rolleyes1
Do you know? :confused3






Definitely something to be excited about!:thumbsup2
AH yes!!! :woohoo:

Something tells me you probably wouldn't get by with speeding...
That thing sticks out like a sore :thumbsup2 <-- thumb

I really like POP. :thumbsup2
Isn't it fun there? We really like being there!
