POPpers are back from POP 9/29-10/6 and made GREAT friends!Chat until next trip!! Part 2

[dreamergirl78]

BTW... The real world SUCKS! Laundry, dusting, grocery shopping... blech.

In a way it feels like we never left. It all happened so fast!

What did you all think of MNSSHP?? We thought it was ok. HalloWishes, the parade and the VMM were awesome. Every line we got in for the characters got cut off before we could meet them, so we eventually gave up. We rode a ton of rides though!

We did MNSSHP on the 2nd and thought it was fun. Really enjoyed the fireworks. Thought the parade was so-so as we'd seen most of it the year before. It's a shame they stopped the free photo as we didn't want to bother with the PhotoPass discount. Took advantage of the free face painting and thought it was pretty cool. We've done the party three years in a row and I think my kids are not as excited about it anymore, so I guess we won't do it again next year if we end up going to WDW during the same timeframe.

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

Eh, probably not. Tuesday I think we were there until about 12:30?

Darn...I wish I would have gone down to the pool area!

Alright - Im back. I needed a "mourning" day before I could post.

I met Beth, down by the pool and...PatsFan??? At that shop inside Cinderella's castle.

I will admit to seeing AllAboutPluto - twice. But, I was behind her and didnt want to shout out her name. I felt stupid.

Yup that was me DH, DD, and DS. Glad you had a great time! Thank your son for us for mentioning the problem with the Grosvenor! We were definately going to stay there until you gave us the heads up! We ended up staying out by the airport at the Holiday Inn Select. Their beds were AWESOME!!!! Especially after 9 nights at POP. We had a Sealy King. It was heaven! (we asked what kind of mattress it was it was so awesome!) I hope to post some pics later. I have never done it before. Your pics are great!!!! We usually go mid January too! Maybe I should start planning????? January definately has weather I can deal with more than that heat and humidity from 9/20-9/30. The crowds were lots larger than the past two Septembers too. Plus we had the 16 month old, so we didn't get much done at all.... except making it to our ADR's!!!!! We know what's important after all!

Thanks for sharing! I will take a look in the morning. I feel so disorganized! I have been home for 8 days and have not unpacked, or even looked at my pics. Never mind dropped off my film! (used film camera, 10 rolls, as well as just under 400 pics!) EEK! Will love to see yours though!

Weekends bad in the future - I can use a family member's DVC points. Honestly, I thing that's what I'll do in the future. Pop is great fun, and the Cast Members are truly amazing - but I had some luggage issues, and, well, frankly (here it comes!) the Dining Plan really IS too much food! I finished exactly ONE entree all week, and used all my Counter Service meals a couple of hours before the DME bus came!

TS was great for us this trip than the previous "free dining" since we have mom and the last time she was at the Promise Land was in 2003 so we took here to all the restaurant that she missed 3 years ago. CS on the other hand was alot! since we are late bloomers (we usually wake up around 9-sh to 10ish) , by the time we grab our granola bars and refilled mugs for coffee we are not hungry till the next TS. On our last day before our flight we still have 5 CS and had shared it with a couple at DTD for sandwiches at the Earl's.

It is hard to get back into the routine. I am back to work had to do grocery shopping this weekend and the laundry UGH !! I hate doing laundry after vacation.

We had a good trip. It was good to meet the diffrent people and we had so much fun collecting signatures on our door. I will post some pictures. We thought Pop was much busier than when we have stayed in the past. Mostly we didn't use the food court and had a rental car so I don't really have much to complain about though.

MrFdNy - Your picturs look great. Very creative !

Tia and Timmy - I had a great time talking with you all. I probably scared you all stopping by that late with my hair all in craziness from packing for a couple of hours and lugging all of my wine to be shipped to the front desk.

It was so good to meet all the other DISers and wish we could have met more. Maybe they will have free dining and we will all go again !!

The wine did make it home safe and sound though !!

We were in room 0143 70's section 1st floor. We had our halloween decorations up with our pretty lights. My kiddos loved coming back with the room all lit up.

Looks like in 2 weeks I will be in LA with my SIL helping her tour 2 colleges. One is Whittier the other I can't remember the name. Looks like I might take her to Disneyworld for 3 days as well while we are there. This was a last minute thing so I better get some research done. Haven't been to DL in ages !! On the other hand we might just decide to do the beach or Hollywood route too. What do you do with a 17yo girl in La for a week ? Anyone have any ideas ?
