Pop, Pop, Poppity-Pop! A November 2014 trip report

[annegirl]

after finishing our photo shoot, Maddy wanted to go back to our room for a birthday party and to relax for a little while.
I had been checking the Pop cafeteria and had not seen any cakes there (that is where I bought Abi's birthday cake last time) so I was nervous about not finding one.
So, before we left I went into the Main street bakery and asked them if they had any of the small chocolate cakes.
They did!
So I grabbed that and some drinks and we headed out of the park.
Along the way we saw a plane doing sky writing..

We waited just a few minutes for our bus and were soon on our way back to pop.

When we got back to Pop my parents took the girls to their room (they didn't have as much stuff as we did so it made sense to do the party in their room) while I decorated the cake with some palace pet toys.

We changed the girls back into pajamas so they wouldn't mess up their dresses and set up her presents.
From my parents she got the Winnie the Pooh and friends toys and the Cinderella polly pockets.
We gave her a Princess Palace pets book that comes with little toys and a gift card to Build A Bear.

She was really excited and wanted to immediately play.

Once again, the cake proved to be delicious!

When we were done, we cleaned up the party mess and then went back to our room so my parents could relax for a while.
I cleaned and re-organized our room while the girls watched cartoons.

Soon we would meet back up with my parents to go to our dinner reservation!

Love all the BBB pictures. The girls look so happy and of course beautiful! Those magical moments are what it's all about. I love the photoshoot pictures too.

What a cute birthday celebration in the room, and so great that you were able to find a cake

When we were preparing for the trip I was getting out all of our princess costumes and dresses from our last trip.
The girls didn't know why I was going through them but loved looking at them and trying them on.
Abi tried on her pink Cinderella gown from her birthday trip and was sad that while it fit still in most ways, the bodice was too tight.
She said, "If we ever go to Disney World again we should take this dress and I bet the magic there will fix it so it will be my size again!"
Well, I had to try to make that happen.
As we got ready to go to dinner, I asked Abi to try it on again.
She did and it was a perfect fit!
She was thrilled!
I wanted her to wear this dress tonight so they would both have a Cinderella theme to dine with Cinderella and her family.

We met back up with my parents at 5.
Outside our room...

We walked back to the buses.

Some magic for daddy...

We rode the bus to Magic Kindom.
There were loads of people going in for the party but we were just passing by...

We got on the monorail to ride it to the Grand Floridian. While waiting I made everyone take a magic band photo with me.
However my dad didn't get in it. I can't remember why. If he had been, he had a green band.

I love this hotel.

Our pager went off about 10 minutes after we checked in.
We took pictures that for some reason I don't have in my photopass pictures. If I find them I will post them here later.
And then we were taken in to our table. We were toward the back of the main room.

Within minutes Prince Charming visited our table.
He was definitely charming.
He talked a lot to Abi. He commented on her necklace and called her beautiful.
It was very sweet.

Cinderella came by a few minutes later and he was still in the area.
He came back over and said,
"My darling, what do her beads remind you of?"
And Cinderella made a big deal of them as well.
They were so amazing.
In my opinion, this dinner has some of best (if not THE best) character interactions.

Maddy asked her where Gus and Jacque were and Cinderella said, "The mice couldn't come because they would eat all of the cheese!"

Next we were visited by Lady Tremaine.
She was serious and so in character. It was great.

At this point Cinderella and Prince Charming were dancing. Anastasia was standing close by watching and Prince Charming said, "Anastasia, your jealousy is showing."

Drusilla came by next. She commented on the beads too.
She and Anastasia were talking back and forth a lot the whole time.

Continued in next post.....

Anastasia came over next.
She is absolutely hilarious and so darn cute.
She and Drusilla started fighting over Abi's beads.

She blew a straw wrapper into Drusilla's face.
Then Lady Tremaine started calling across the restaurant for them to behave themselves.
Anastasia made this face at her.

Then Lady Tremaine came over and put her in time out for fighting with her sister.
She made her her put her head down on this shelf behind us and told her to count to 100.
Abi was laughing so hard.

She of course didn't get all the way to 100 before she snuck a look to see if her mom was gone and then came back over to goof around with the girls again.

This face says it all...

After they visited we were able to eat. It's a buffet so we all had a little bit of quite a few things. My favorite were the potstickers.
Maddy loved the corn dogs and Abi loved the chicken nuggets.

We were all starting to get tired by this point.

As usual, the food was good and the interactions were excellent and we left very satisfied with our experience.
We decided to go out and take some pictures with the carriages in front of the Grand Floridian before leaving.

our silly girls....

Then we got my parents in there too.

And then one of our family.

We decided to take a boat back to Magic Kingdom instead of the monorail so we walked through the resort grounds to the boat dock.

It was actually really fun and relaxing to ride the boat back over to the Magic Kingdom.

We dragged ourselves back to the bus stop.

Maddy loved her birthday!

When we got back to the room Abi was the first to get back into jammies and jump into bed.
She put on Duffy's bedtime stories and we said goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa.
We were all tired with achy feet and ready to sleep.
But it was such an amazing day.
We all loved it!!

Thanks! I do too. They felt so special and it is so fun to watch them walk around so happy and proud.

Yes. I am so glad I went in the bakery because I never saw one at our resort.

Your family is so adorable! It looks like you are having an amazing time! Thank you for taking the time to share!

Thank you! Thanks for following along.

Well, I was about to do an update. But honestly, I have to try to figure out this new Dis first. I am so confused. I couldn't find my own trip report unless I went into my signature from a comment on someone else's thread. So..... it will probably be a while before I get my next post up.

I am so happy to hear about the quality of interaction at 1900PF that evening and I am thrilled that you all had such a great day!!! Getting to hear about this day was so exciting- the dresses, the princess meals, the memories, everything was so pretty and princess-y and I'm so happy your daughter had such a special day!!!

 

[missangelalexis]

1900 Park Fare looks SO fun! Glad you all had a great dinner, the girls fit right in with their dresses. Love the pictures from the end of the night too!

 

[Gracefulskinny]

Hi there so apparently I missed some posts over the last day or so! What a fun experience at Bibbity bobbity! And a nice birthday party in the room. 1900 Park Fare looked so fun I am excited to try it out in a few months!

 

[ach222]

I mean, talk about the perfect birthday! What a magical day. Breakfast looked awesome, BBB pics are adorable and the in room party even looked like a blast. Dinner with the royal family looked fun as well. I really like the one pic of the girls interacting on the bus, such sweet moments.
I love the 'magic' fixed the pink dress, great job!

It really is such a great place for those character interactions. It was a perfect birthday!

Thanks! It was really fun to have them both in Cinderella-ish dresses.

Yeah... I slacked off for a good long while and now I'm playing major catch up. You will love it at 1900 park fare!

I was SO relieved that the dress fit her because it was honestly really hard to figure out how to change it without altering the whole entire thing. But it worked! And the magic is still alive and well!

The next morning (Friday, November 15) we had another early day at Magic Kingdom!

I got up first as usual to get ready before waking up Doug and the girls.

Maddy was excited to be up and playing with her things while we were getting ready.

And excited to see her hair could still be worn up. She wanted to get as much use out of this hairstyle as she could.

Abi, however, wanted to wear her hair down in what we call a "princess pony tail" but still wear her crown.

She went with a Jasmine theme this day because I told her we would probably be meeting her again. She had on a Jasmine ring and stick on Jasmine earings.. plus the princess pony tail is pretty much Jasmine's hair style.

Their clothes were a Minnie Mouse theme. Both of them in Minnie Mouse shirts with jeggings and black clogs.

We met my parents outside the room and headed for the buses.

This was a much better morning at Magic Kingdom!

We had a pre park opening breakfast and so we were able to get in before the hoards of people running to Fantasyland.
The park was wonderfully not crowded.​

Cute window displays...

Unfortunately, it looks like two of my photopass folders downloaded empty so I am missing a bunch of photopass pictures and since I didn't notice this before my 45 days was up I think I am out of luck. (These would have included the photos from 1900 park fare, some main street ones this morning and some throughout the rest of the day. SO SAD.
But, at least I took a lot of my own photos too.

We were headed for breakfast at Crystal Palace!

We enjoyed this breakfast so much last time so we knew we wanted to do it again.

And then the fact that Maddy instantly fell in love with all things Winnie the Pooh the day before made it even more special.
Eeyore was the first to visit our table

This was the start of Abi's favorite buffet food.

Strawberries smothered in yogurt.
She had this many, many times over the course of the trip

They were extremely excited for our next guest!

And that is one happy girl!

Maddy decided to try Abi's strawberry treat.

My mom with her cute and yummy Mickey waffles.

Maddy was so surprised when they brought out a birthday cupcake for her.
She said, "But my birthday was yesterday!"
They told her they were celebrating her birthday for the whole trip!"
She was so happy

They even gave her a card signed by all the characters.

We had a good time!

Soon, Piglet visited us.

Look at that face!

I love this picture so much.

Piglet is adorable.

Next was Tigger!

" I just can't stop hugging them!"

My mom wanted a picture with Tigger too.

Our Friendship Day Celebration was over and it was time to say goodbye and go ride some rides.

The girls look so sweet with the characters! Sorry to hear you lost your PP+ pics. Can you call up the IT line and see if they can do something about it? Its a long shot but never hurts to ask.

 

[missangelalexis]

That's awesome that Maddy's hair lasted through the night! They look so cute in all these pics! Love all the CP pics, glad it was a great breakfast!

I hope so! I emailed them and explained how the pictures were there and downloaded them and somehow some of them didn't download properly. I asked if by any chance they haven't been deleted... so we shall see.
Honestly, if they are gone, I still have tons of awesome photos. I was just really excited about the family portraits on her birthday night... But we shall go on no matter what.

Yeah. I was so excited that it did.. and keeps on lasting for a while. Thanks! I love looking back through the pictures. Such happy moments in time.

Hey! I made your trip report! In your MK Rope Drop pictures, I'm the big lug in the white shirt. My Mrs. is shown with her permanent facial attachment, a Nikon camera. I hope I'm not the jerk who ran over your foot!

Wow! I always wonder if someone on here will be in the background of my pictures or if I am in the back of someone's photos. Small world! And no, you were not the guy that ran over my foot! Thanks for commenting!
