Ha that's what I want to do! I was thinking about the Halloween Party, and the water parks, since we'll back 9/14 to 9/23 for the parks... No APs now
at least, not yet...
That sounds like a really good plan
Hi Su-Lynn!
I feel so late to the party! Glad to read your father is feeling well.
Hi JoAnn! Thank you so much!
Pop sure has a very crisp look to it now - glad you got a refurb room.
Kudos to your sister for her mousekeeping envelopes.
I was so happy I got a refurbished room. It would have totally changed my mood if it was not refurbished...tired, cranky, and no pretty room would not be a good combination, LOL.
Thanks! She is very proud of them.
I did a solo trip once but only for two days before my sisters joined me.
I loved it! Went to Downtown Disney (at the time) Le Cirque show my first night and did all of DHS the next day. Even had all of 1900 Park Fare sing me happy birthday lol.
Everyone must have been like this poor girl is alone on her birthday!
Aww that's so cute! Sounds like the perfect time by yourself! I had a lot of fun. I didn't have to keep checking my app because usually Steve keeps asking me to check what rides are available so I'm usually more on top of things. This time, I was ok with not going on so many rides, haha.
As usual loving your report and looking forward to the next installment.
I still have to catch up on your last cruise report!
Thank you for following!
Cruise report is almost done! I should be finishing it up tonight.
I do not have a trip currently planned, but really hoping for one next year. I will have to hunt down that kiosk in AK!
Sadly I never got around to trying it. I ate at Satuli and then I was too full. I should bring some take out containers to Disney so I can put what ever I can't eat into them, LOL.
You need to remind everyone about your sister's etsy page...I know I want to hit her up for envelopes for mousekeeping next trip!
Yes! I will! She's on Etsy at
www.etsy.com/thepapercrown
She had no idea mousekeeping evelopes were a thing, she thinks it's something that only I requested, hahaha. I told her she should start putting them up on her site so she's going to look into doing so.
And I think your meal at Classified is PERFECTLY balanced!
That's what I thought! Salad and crispy fries...a most nutritious meal
Hi Su-Lynn
How fun a solo trip so glad you got a refurbished room at POP.
We stayed there last year when we made a last trip on a budget. Even without a refurb we were surprised how much we liked the room and resort. It was perfect for DD and I.
Thank you! I really loved the Pop room. I am gonna try and stay there again when we're not using DVC!
Great start . Looking forward to the rest
Thanks!!
Uggh! My aunt lives alone teaching ESL overseas. On her breaks, she travels all over Asia by herself. People look at her like she has 3 heads sometimes when she talks about travelling anywhere alone, especially as a woman. But if you're confident and enjoy your own company, solo trips anywhere—especially Disney!—can be awesome experiences! I had a great time on my solo days, and I wouldn't give up my trips with Nathan or my family in favour of going solo, but I also enjoyed it just as much in some ways for different reasons. I'm looking forward to hearing about your solo trip!
I do, however, have to justify to a lot of people why we keep returning to Disney so often at all. And my answer is always something like..."why not??"
Right? Lots of people travel the world solo, so what's the big deal doing Disney solo? I think when people think of Disney they think it's a family thing so they don't understand why anyone would go on their own. Well, they just don't know what they are missing out on! And now i'm totally a fan! Solo Disney is fun!
And yes, trust me we always have to justify the whole "going to Disney again?" shtick but now I just don't care anymore I just say YES with a smiley face.
Beautiful!! She's so crafty.
My mousekeeping envelopes are printed from the internet onto card stock if I'm feeling VERY ambitious, and they're just small mailing envelopes if I'm not.
Haha that's better than my usual mousekeeping envelopes which are made out of air...
thank goodness for my sister, who even makes tipping come in pretty packages.
I'd do the same thing! The aisle seat is EVERYTHING when you're flying alone.
I know! I always sit on the aisle. I feel claustrophobic if I don't! So it was 20 bucks well spent IMO.
So weird! The exact same thing happened to me on my last flight (from Toronto to Halifax.) After about a 20 minute delay, they ended up having to do the safety info in person, and it was like it was really weird for them to do it that way. Amazing how dependent we are on technology these days. You don't always notice it until something malfunctions.
Yeah I wondered why they just couldn't do it manually
The new refurbed rooms are so nice! I love the murphy beds! Would really like to go back to Pop sometime to stay in one of these rooms. I was really hoping they'd get further along with the renos at ASMo before I stayed there, but by the time I got there the only refurbed rooms were preferred and I had a standard. Oh well...all the more reason to go back!
Good to know the ASMo preferred rooms are renovated too! They are definitely great rooms, I just wish I had more time there.
