The so-so trip..March madness is at WDW *Updated 7/27* Final thoughts

[carissanboys]

I'm not a big soft pretzel fan, but the jalapeno one sounds good. Does it have cheese inside?

I've stayed at Pop twice now and I love it there!

What a fun AK update!! I am allergic to something they put in the pretzels at WDW, and I am beyond disappointed that I can't eat the jalepeno pretzel. They look AMAZING!

I am also glad to hear that you like POP. We are headed there 1 week from today for our first stay there, and we are so excited! MeMom always has wonderful things to say about it, so I hope we like it as much as you guys. Do you have a favorite section you like to stay in. I requested 50s, but if its not available I want to try for a "2nd choice."

Have a lovely Memorial Day!!

Have fun in Aruba! Post some pictures here when you get bak!

I love the jalapeno pretzel too!

 

[emmysmommy]

Hi Scott! I hope you are enjoying your time in Aruba!

Glad to hear that Vinny loved Pop! That resort is so entirely different than AKL.

When we see IT2BaB I'm such a polite girl and sit tight until the bugs have exited the theater! I love the effects for this attraction as well. I just wish they would not do the stink bug aroma! Peee-ewwww!

That Jalepeno pretzel is still on my snack list. It could become an obsession so I'm not sure if I should release that crazy animal inside me!

Can't wait to hear about your Aruba trip!

Hi all,
Will respond when I get home. Having a great time. The weather is great and I am burned and am in the water almost all day. Talk to you soon.

Have a great time in Aruba. Are you both going? Still enjoying your TR and look forward to hearing more.

Thank you. It was a great trip. I went with his sister and her friend.

I've heard great things about the Jalapeno Pretzel; unfortunately, I don't like Jalapeno

We have yet to even visit POP...I just can't do values anyore

Have a great trip...can't wait to hear all about it.

That is too bad, it is so good.
That is how I figured Vinny would be but if we do not stay DVC then he wants POP. He will not even think of a mod anymore.
Thanks. It was great.

I LOVE Pop !! I sthe only place I have stayed !!! My sense of direction is SOOOO bad I get lost in bigger resorts!! AK is a prime example I have to ask direction to find my way out !!!

POP is a great place.

they have signs that say exit. I figure if you follow any patht o the tree you can get out then.

That stinks that you cannot eat the pretzels.
50's is what we always request. The pool there is great and close to everything.

Have fun in Aruba! Post some pictures here when you get bak!

I love the jalapeno pretzel too!

Thanks. It was a great time.
definitely a favorite of mine now.

Thanks. It was a great trip.
2 completely opposite resorts.
You have to wait till the very end. It is so much fun.
it is now an obsession of mine.

Here are few more pics of the room and outside of POP.


The view from our room.










This was our section.


Here is our destination.


Along the way we saw.


Then we passed.


Another way of getting there.


We have now arrived.


This what we saw when we entered. Hmm, seems crowded here.


More crowds. I was scared.


Then we came upon this line. We were confused if it was for Peoplemover or Astro Oribiter.


You will have to wait till next time to find out.

Up next,

We do ride something and dinner.

 

[emmysmommy]

Welcome back Scott! Ohhh a cliff hanger! I'm going to guess People Mover since I can't imagine waiting in that line for Astro Orbiter!

 

[MeMom]

The view from our room.

I think it is so nice that the lake view now has color and life and Disney happiness on the other side, as opposed to the dead stillness that was there for so long.

Glad you enjoyed Aruba.

The jalapeno pretzel gets a lot of love, but I don't know if I could handle the heat. I'm not much on things with a kick, unlike my youngest child, whose motto is The hotter/spicier/kickier the better!

 

[Lesprivate]

That line is scary looking especially if it is for People Mover.

Thank you.
You might be correct or you may not.

I so agree with you. Looking across now and seeing something is so nice.
Thanks.
I do not remember if it was spicy or not but I love spicy so it could have been.
Good motto.

That line is scary looking especially if it is for People Mover.

it is scary. Soon I will reveal.

Hope you had an awesome time in Aruba! Those beach pictures your posted on FB were to die for!

That's a great view from your room! Love it!

Yes - I have see THAT line for the Peoplemover before and I have "moved" on!

it was.
Thanks. I think I only took 40 pics the entire time. I really just relaxed and enjoyed.
I did too.

 

[PrincessAlways]

Always enjoy staying at POP!!! I usually ask for 50's section too.

I would've been scared at the sight of those crowds too! People Mover??? OMG!

Loved the beach pics for Aruba!

It is a great place for a value.
They were scary. The answer coming up shortly.
Thanks.

 

[scottny]

It was for Peoplemover. I cannot believe the line was so long and people were cutting. Vinny said a family cut us but they didn’t being the son was there and allowed his parents to join him. I hate when people save space in lines and then the others jump in. Wait together is my motto.


You can read the paper while you wait. LOL


The line for Astro Orbiter.


Then we were off. Here are the crowds for Peoplemover from the ride.


Love looking at the castle.


I used to love riding this when I was younger but now I find the smell from the cars repulsive.


I love this pic of the train.


As we came around I got the castle again.


Then we were back.


Then after that we saw we had no time for any other ride and we had to get to dinner. We started to head out but I got another castle pic.


Then it was time to board our vessel. I love the boats at Disney. Did you know that? LOL


Our destination in the distance.


The sun starting to set.


My second favorite transportation at Disney.


Good place to watch the fireworks and the Water Parade.


I highly recommend eating here. Narcoosse’s. Never had a bad meal here yet.


The Contemporary and BLT. I would like to try it here but I must admit it is not high on my list.


As you can see we sat separately. I wanted to get pics so I sat in the back.


I would love to stay in one of those rooms.


The progress of GFV as of March 9, 2013.


I still want to buy in but the rumor of the Poly DVC is making me think otherwise. Also not working makes me think otherwise.

What is that building?


Vinny and The Poly, does it get any better?


Setting up for the movie and campfire.


Looking back at Grand Floridian.


Sun setting pic.


I think I will stop here for now. Hope you enjoyed the journey over the lake.

Up next,

Dinner at Kona. Will Vinny change his mind about it?

 

[disfanforlife]

Great pictures!!! I am hoping that when we retire from up north my husband will work at Disney driving one of the boats. I love the boats too.

 

[mickeyfan71]

Wow! I have never seen a line-especially a long one-at People Mover! Loved the Aruba pics-blue water was beautiful! I was planning on watching the water parade and Hallowishes from the Poly beach after dinner at Ohana-is is a good spot or should we take the monorail to the GF?

Here is the link to my photos from Aruba. Wishing I was still there.
