HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
I hope you made it out to the store to get you some Vera B for your birthday!! I was at the Library today to return my movies and pick up my books for next week. They were having story-time. I thought of you!!!
Thanks for the birthday wishes Megan! On my birthday, my hubby had taken the day off of work and planned to meet a bunch of my friends from Indy at the Indy Children's Museum. Afterwards, we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory in downtown Indy. He had purchased a birthday cake from a Mason bakery (Sweet Sinsations). It was a super fun day, but by the time we got home, I was BEAT. I convinced him to run to Five Guys for burgers and we just hung out for the evening.
Last night, I did leave as soon as he got home from work and went to the VB store by Jungle Jims and grabbed a new Betsy bag for 50% off. I don't think it will work for a park bag, but it'll make a great day to day for me!
Jill put the pack & play over in the sink area behind the curtain. It seemed to work perfectly for them. She just pulled the curtain to and Bella went right to sleep.
Oh good!! When we have stayed at mods we put the baby there and I was hoping there would be enough room for it to work at Pop too! Getting info like this is one of the many many reasons I love the DIS!
I think you will like the food court and gift shop. The gift shop CM's are nice. The food court CM's seem to be just normal fast-food workers, though, not a lot of Disney friendliness that I saw.
Since we will not have
DDP on this leg of the vacation I am very excited to have a good size food court. There always seem to be so many options there and the portions look big enough to split!
This gave me a good
'laugh out loud' laugh.
Where do I send my wish list?
You know we want everyone to feel like a back door guest over at our place.
The more the merrier. And don't forget to bring food.
PM it to me before I leave for Disney. Since I'll be there right after Thanksgiving, I can get all of your shopping done well before the holidays. I definitely feel like a backdoor guest at your house, you guys really are the best!
We have cabbed a few times for different reasons, and it has always been worth the money to do so.
We did a cab once when we were late for an ADR. Even Mr. Pennypincher said it was worth the extra minutes of nap everyone had!
Precious girl!
What would life be like without her???
Certainly not nearly enough fun!
I get lost on here sometimes, too, and don't realize an hour has passed and I haven't moved a muscle.
Glad I am not the only one!
I think you've made some great decisions that will add some wonderful memories to your trip...and take away some not so pleasant ones perhaps!
Pop is what I describe as a "shiny, happy resort." I'll never forget the first moment I walked into the lobby...my first words were: "It's so shiny and pretty!" and it really is! The pools are fantastic, the food court is huge (and while that is somewhat frustrating when its packed), it has a ton of variety. We only had one night there a few trips ago, and I want to give it another try, for more than one night. I'd also purposely avoid eating in the food court during the rush hours because it gets VERY busy and difficult to navigate with a stroller/children. Do it MeMom style-someone goes and gets the food and you eat in the room.
Thanks for the food court advice. It's a very real possibility that even though Aileen will be 15 months old when we go, she will not be walking so I need think like we have an infant. Eating by the pools or in the room, depending on the weather makes a whole lot of sense!
I think Pop is a good choice!!
Thanks! I have not had any second thoughts since we made the switch!
Yay for the Pop! There really is so much to explore, it's such a fun resort. We did the scavenger hunt and that let us find and appreciate all the little details.
Where did you find the scavenger hunt at? This sounds like fun!
I think sharing my story would make anyone take a cab with their stuff... soggy bags and clothing are terrible!
No kidding Laura! That was such a mess!
Yay for POP. We love it and Lord willing we will be staying there in December too!
Saying a prayer that everything comes together for you!
Thanks for the warm welcome. We will be at Pop from Nov 30- Dec 9. There is me, DH, DS (who will be 3 at the time of the trip) and DD4. I am so excited!!!
That's such a fun age for a Disney trip! Every character you meet will be the cat's pajamas to your little ones! Maybe with the overlap of vacations, we'll run into each other somewhere in the parks!
Yay for Pop! I really enjoyed staying there, and I'm sure we will stay there again sometime.
I am always glad to hear when people are looking forward to going back to a resort!
Oh
More DISers there at the same time! Hope to get to say hi!
I think we need to try to figure out a DISmeet or two!!
So excited to hear about a first timer. We've never been at Christmas, but Disney is magical any time of year. Who all is in your group? Can't wait to hear more about your upcoming trip!
Oh well, I'm here now! I have to say your kiddos are SO stinking cute!!! I'm so jealous you get to stay at CR! I stayed there with my grandparents when I was 4, but haven't stayed since. I'm hoping we make it there eventually since our goal is to stay at all of the hotels. We are slowly making progress, but end up going to favorite places over and over instead of trying new....
