Wow, you both took some great pictures of the resort!
Thanks! Pop had so many good photo ops.
More pics are definetley comming! Man, 2014 cannot come soon enough.
Haha thankyou! I know, I love that picture too. I dunno if she was expecting more out of the game or just really sucked at it but she hated it.
I know right! I'm wondering if he was just trying to see what he could get away with.

Day 2.3
March 16, 2011
After exploring the hotel for a bit, we went to Downtown Disney. We looked at a few stores and then we went to Goofy's Candy Company where I got my pretzel rods. I had been craving them for so long! I got 3. All of them were dipped and drizzled in white chocolate, but one had sprinkles, one had cinnamon sugar, and the third one had M&Ms. They were all super delicious but the cinnamon sugar one was my favorite.
Entrance
A friend pointed out to me that Mickey and Donald are wearing the same outfits as Stan and Kyle from South Park!
I had to take a picture of this because it amused me that the genie was thinking about the girls.
Fooling around with the silly mirror in the candy store.
How can anyone even eat something like this? It's too pretty! I wouldn't want to ruin it! I'd feel so bad!
Waiting on my pretzel rods.
Pure HEAVEN!!!!

After my pretzel rods, we looked around at more shops. I was under whelmed with D Street. Somehow...I was expecting more. And by more I mean less. Less expensive that is. Kristina bought one of those really pretty D&B bags from World of Disney. I would have bought one too but I don't like the idea of it having a button clasp. I would much prefer a zipper. It seems more pick-pocket proof somehow.
Haha, I tried to pose all Princess-y.
I don't know if any of you out there know about the...err...Japanese Revoltech Woody doll meme going around on other forums but after seeing the pictures people have taken of it, I can NEVER look at Woody the same! I can't really say too much about it here because...ehm...it's not exactly family friendly.
Omg JOHN SMITH! I love that they have him. The Pocahontas movie is a really good one...WAY underappreciated. I love that it didn't really have a happy ending. It gave the movie a much more mature feel but I guess that's why it didn't do so well...because of the seriousness. I just wish John Smith didn't look like such a freaky robot here.
MULAN MERCHANDISE!!!! YESSSSSSS!!!!
This picture amused me because it looks like the bird is the same size as the balloon cart and it's totally about to attack!
Love this shot of Kristina.
Ah Disney Quest. We didn't go here this trip. No loss though. We didn't care much for it the last time. We just aren't arcade people.
At Ride Makerz, Kristina got chased out of the store by a remote controlled car. She was wearing her Minnie ears and the worker controlling the car said "we don't like Minnie in here."
That made me laugh. Understandable though, since it was essentially a Build a Bear for dudes.
Kristina was dead tired at this point but she still hadn't eaten anything since that morning. She decided to eat at the Wolfgang Puck's Express because she had a good meal there on our last trip. She ended up getting a Spicy Chicken Melt with Chips.
Kristina being super excited.
Spicy Chicken Melt with Chips.
After Kristina's meal, we headed back to the hotel. When checking in, I was told that I would get a phone call from them no later than 3:00 p.m. to tell us that the room was ready but I never got any call and it was already after 4:00 p.m. by this point. I went to the front desk to get things straightened out. I guess they just forgot to call me or something because the room was indeed ready. We ended up on the first floor in the 80s section.
In the bus, going back to the hotel.
The Potato Heads were near our building.
We were also told that our bags would be delivered to our room but alas, when we got to our rooms, our bags were nowhere to be found. We hightailed it over to the bag people or whatever they're called. The man said that our bags were being delivered as we spoke but Kristina pointed out that no, our bags were right THERE! (imagine her pointing at our bags behind him).
So after we got our bags back to the room, I disinfected the place with my trusty rusty Sani-Wipes, unpacked, took a shower, then went right to bed. Well, actually, that's a lie. We didn't go right to bed. First we had a disagreement on what temperature to keep the thermostat at. Kris wanted to keep it at 73 degrees while I wanted it at 79. I don't know why but somehow, the air seemed WAAAY colder than it really was! The 73 degrees felt like 65 and the 79 was like 71. We compromised and kept it at 74. But by the wackadoo thermostat standards, that was really like a 68. I was still superly freezing! While Kristina wore shorts and a t-shirt to sleep, I wore long pants, a shirt, plus a jacket, AND my socks. Although we agreed to keep it at 74 degrees, throughout the course of the trip, when we were in the room, while one of us was in the bathroom or something, when we'd come out from the bathroom, the tempurature would "mysteriously"
take itself up or down a few degrees. Ha ha ha!
Sani-Wipes FOR THE WIN!

So sorry! Didn't realize you had started this already! I know what you mean about not wanting TR's to end, that is one of the reasons I always take so long writing mine.
I love the report so far, your pictures are great and I love how you guys have fun with the camera. Looking forward to more.

Ny DD has that Mulan set too. She really has never watched Mulan yet, but she likes those sets and has most of the characters.
I saw those baby ducks at Pop too. Weren't they so cute. Here's one I took. They were up by the smoking section. I guess momma duck need a break. LOL!

Looks like you had a lot of fun at DTD. The pretzel rods you made looked delicious! I am SO jealous of your sisters bag, I contemplated getting that same one when I went but couldn't bring myself to spend that much. YAY for Mulan merchandise!! They really do need more though
And I'm pretty sure I know that Woody meme your talking about, definitely not family friendly I still love Woody though, he's my favorite. Those Sani-Wipes are a good idea too, I should definitely think to bring some of those next time.

You sure had a long flight.
You should do a house trade when you go to WDW, you. Would get your money back 10 fold. but then again I don't know if I would want anyone staying in my house.
You sure had a long first day.

I'm here and just started reading! I LOVE that first picture of you and your sister - you guys must have had so much fun together!
You're so right about the TR and when it's over. I swear that's why I'm taking my own sweet time with mine. We're very tenatively planning on a few days at Disneyland as part of a trip out west in 2013 so I have no idea when we're make it back to the World. Such a depressing thought.

because we have the same struggle over the thermostat. The boy's want it freezing cold, 
so they call the service man to come in and change the temperature. I just bring my flannel pajamas and blanket with me to stay warm. I hate 
being cold!!
