Back from my trip!

Jan 19, 2008 00:34

So, My boyfriend and I just returned from our 3 day/2 night stay at Pop Century yesterday. We had a FANTASTIC time. The only way it could've been better is if we had won a night in the Cinderella Castle Suite :)

(pictures are not dial-up friendly!)
(11/15) - Day #1 - Disney's Hollywood Studios: We arrived at Pop Century at about 11:30am. Our room was ready right away. We stayed in the 70's building and the walk to the bus stop was under 3 minutes. As soon as we got situated in our room, we took the bus to Disney Studios. It was more crowded than I expected (especially since it was freezing outside), but we didn't have to wait more than 15-20 minutes for any ride/attraction. We rode Rock N Roller Coaster 5 times, Tower of Terror 3 times and The Great Movie Ride. As for shows, we saw Voyage of the Little Mermaid, Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show!, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular and of course, Fantasmic. We ate counter service food to save money. The weather was perfect. We took advantage of extra magic hours and stayed in the park until 11pm.

(11/16) - Day #2 - The Magic Kingdom: We were let into the park early since we had breakfast reservations for The Crystal Palace at 9:05. I was surprised that they didn't ask for my name or reservation number at the gate. It was indescribably amazing to walk down main street with almost no one else there :) The breakfast was great and we got to meet Winnie the Pooh and all his friends. Throughout the day we did Space Mountain 3 times, Thunder Mountain, The Astro Orbiter, Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, The Haunted Mansion, It's a Small World, The Jungle Cruise, Mad Tea Party, Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan's Flight 2 times, Mickey's PhilharMagic, Pirates of the Caribbean, Stitch's Great Escape! and The People Mover 3 times. As for shows, we saw Dream Along with Mickey and Wishes. I've always wanted to (but never got around to it) get a treat from the bakery on Main Street, so I made sure to do so this time. The smell from that place is yummy :) Again, the weather was perfect and it didn't rain at all.

Oh, my boyfriend lost his phone on Thunder Mountain, It didn't fall on the tracks, but he left it on the seat when we exited the ride. Smart one. Luckily, the next day, we went to Lost and Found (inside the Kennel) and they found it! Amazing.

(11/17) - Day #3 - The Animal Kingdom: We overslept a bit, but still got to do mostly everything we wanted to do. We did Expedition Everest 3 times. The first time we rode we had a 0 minute wait! We also did Dinosaur, Primeval Whirl and Kilimanjaro Safaris 2 times (once on the left ride and the other time on the right side). As for shows, we saw Festival of the Lion King and Pocahontas & Her Forest Friends. We left the park early to go pick up my boyfriend's cell phone. Sadly, afterwards, it was time to go home.

I did an unhealthy amount of shopping this trip and i'm a little nervous to go check the balance of my checking account! I purchased 3 shirts, a purse, an ankle bracelet, a necklace, a ring, earrings, a keychain, poster from Rock N Roller Coaster, a shirt for my brother, a snow globe for my father, a mug for my mother and another mug for my boyfriend's mom. I'm sure there were a few other things, but I can't remember at the moment.

My brother starts at UCF this summer so i'm sure i'll be making another trip back then. I wish I could go back sooner! I swear, i'm going to move to Orlando someday. I miss Disney World far too much already.

And now, onto the pictures :)
