Pre Live Trip Report meager attempt for 28NOV11 to 14DEC11 at Pop Century & BWV Resorts & Meets.

Last December, I started a live vacation report from my December Pop Century Resort trying to answer questions with photos upon request.

I am going to try and do that again, if anyone has any questions.

Here is last years link to my meager attempt to a live trip report at http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2608415&highlight=pop+century This year, I will be posting in the Pre Trip Reports forums, Trip Report forums, Resorts forums, and DISabilities forums, and various other forums.

Since I use my own personal Electric Convenience Vehicle as WDW calls it or mobility scooter as I call it; I will have some photos related to my travels. But like last year, photos of specific questions about Christmas decorations or resorts or parks or food items at Pop, etc..

I'll be staying at Pop Century Resort and like to refer to the this great DIS FAQ at: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2793105

The DIS Podcast is holding a very cool meet outside WDW at Universal's Wizarding World of Harry Potter at: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2658589

So far there is one WDW DIS meet by Diane at BCV TV room prior to the DVC Merry Mixer: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2827416

I will also try to attend some meets at one of the first internet Disney sites at R.A.D.P. Meets at: http://meets.radp.org/radp16/ and if you don't know what R.A.D.P. stands for here is another link for info at: http://meets.radp.org/index.htm

I am very lucky and fortunate to attend all of Deb Wills, "A December to Remember" Celebrating 15 Years of AllEars at: www.AllEars.net I did not add a direct link to the meets because of some companies may compete with DIS advertisers and visa versa. But if I did post unknowingly post something inappropriate, I hope that the DIS moderators will remove that information.

Here is a photo of me back in 2003 at Magic Kingdom holding Tinker Bell with the Christmas Lights behind me on Mainstreet wearing my joker's Santa hat.

If you would like me to take any photos to answer any questions that you might have, just ask it here and when I start my live trip report I will quote your post and start a new thread in the regular Trip Reports and/or one of the other forums.

Hi, Ray -

Looks like you are going to have quite a trip this year - a full calendar of events to attend! And you'll enjoy the best of both worlds by staying at POP and BWV. (I've had such good luck with room location at BWV - always near an elevator, but never noisy).

Looking forward to hearing all about the Meets - Erin's Ft Wilderness Holiday Lights is always a fun one!

Reading all your plans sure brings back happy memories... and wishing I could have gone this year....maybe 2012.

I wish that you be there, too. The first two weeks of December are my annual vacation to WDW. I am very lucky to have so many Disney Fan meets going on during this time.

Let me know if you need any photos for your Pop Century Resort FAQ Thread and I will be glad to take them.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Some Christmas decorations at POP would be wonderful - we want to add some for the holidays. Any will be great, but we do not have a good one of the main tree or the poinsettia's at the entrance, so those would be especially helpful. Any that you think would be a good addition to the FAQ thread will be very welcome.

Thanks so much for offering. I will also ask Janet if she would like any particular photos.

p.s. Are you doing a Disney Cruise this year?

 

[RaySharpton]

No cruise. The last cruise that I went on was with the AllEars December DCL cruise years ago. But that gives me more time at WDW.

Here is one from last year December, 2010 of the main Pop Christmas Tree in the Lobby in front of the entrance to Pop Everything store and food court. It may not be that good, but I will try to take several better ones in a few weeks.

And here is a link to my live trip report from last year in December 2010 with a lot of photos that you are welcome to.

Okay, now I am seriously JEALOUS! So happy you get to go for a few nights though.

Sorry. If you can handle the green monster of jealousy, check out my TR. The table of contents needs alot of work, but we stayed at POP twice this year and CSR 3 times (quick weekend trips). Plus I'm a "local" so there are lots of pics of resorts and parks from quick jaunts to play or have dinner at WDW. I haven't added our Nov stay at POP yet, I need to download the pics.

Ray, it was nice meeting and chatting with you. Here are a couple of pictures of your POP window. Sorry for the glare, but that couldn't be helped.

Terry
