YAY for arrivals!!
I've tried to break my Tim Horton's addiction... hasn't worked yet. Oh well. Glad to hear your flight and arrival all went smoothly!
Awwww Pop Century!! I get so nostalgic. I love that place.
Only one soap made it home???
I'll be staying at Pop, too - nice to see the photos! I haven't done the online check-in before so I will try this time. How far ahead can you do it?

Great first installment and wonderful pictures! Pop was the resort we stayed at during our first-ever vacation staying on property. Fond memories there! We're now in love with Port Orleans French Quarter, our trip this fall will mark our sixth stay there. It's definitely our home away from home.
Tim's is a national obsession ... resistance is futile.
Looking forward to the next post!
Woo hoo, you arrived at the resort! Always the best part of the trip.
Is that the monorail t-shirt you're wearing? I have that same one!
And Mickey soap is awesome. You can never have enough Mickey soap. You should've taken more.
Every time I travel to Disney I wish apparition was real and then I realize it isnt working because my wand is at home, and they probably wouldnt work after security yup harry potter nerd over here
UUUGGGGHHH MOWGLI!! I MISSED IT BY TWO DAYS!! That last Tim Hortans of a week is always a killer, like, Disney coffee is HORRIBLE. I know when I move down there Ill be brining so much with me! Ack, direct flight?! Damn you East coasterner! .thats a word right ..
MCO is totally my home airport, like, thats home, Orlando is home, that is all. Like, in Finding Nemo when Dorys all I look at you, and Im home that is me, with everything from the moment I get off the plane.
Ive never rented a car in Disney, then again, Im not old enough to rent a car in the states, and I dont have my full license yet baha! Did you do the whole traveler license thing I saw something posted on the dis about how a Canada license wouldnt be accepted in the States?
Ahh Pop, my original home away from home, its great there! Glad you got to experience it!
I am planning on doing my first solo trip this Oct, so i am eagerly reading to see how your trip go's. Do you usually go solo?
Loving this so far! I'm going solo at the end of October for the second time.
I think that once you have passed through the WDW sign everyone becomes a little kid at heart! That must be what happened to you.
That's so funny that you like to drive yourself around.... I leave the driving to the very capable bus drivers. Like the ones that take me to every other resort other than my own!! You don't know what you are missing!
What section of Pop Century was your room? Can't wait to see how Genita spoiled you!!
Great start Rob!
Great update!
Great start! Pop is our favorite value. I just love the feeling of the place. We've stayed there 6 times now.
We will probably be renting a car at Disney from now on. I don't know if we'll get it at the airport or not, because I'm prone to over packing and economy car trunks simply aren't big enough.
DH is definitely in your camp though. He likes to drive himself around. I think it's a control thing.
what does the online check in do?
Looks like I'm late for the party, but I'm here!
Subbing in!!
hi Rob! Great start to this report and I have been following along with your other report as well. I love your writing style and sense of humor (half expecting one of your posts to be entitle "and now for something completely different")
Glad your solo trip went well
Thanks and yes very first time with the family, great info you are providing

I'm the least stressed out traveler. My oldest brother always thinks about what could go wrong, and I'm like "meh...if it goes wrong, it goes wrong...." He HATES that! Haha.
Well at least your in flight entertainment was good. Oh Phil Dunphy....
I normally like to have a car too. I like to hold my own destiny in my hands.
Of course you brought the Mickey soap home with you! I always take them, so they refill them, and continue to take more.
I always take the soaps and shampoos and conditioner. In fact, that's how I know it's time to go back - I run out of Mickey soaps!

I snapped a selfie in the mirror since, you know, that's what all the kids do, and I'm a kid when in Disney after-all, (DisneyKid4Life Yo!)
TO BE CONTINUED
I had to "Pop" over and comment on this TR too! We almost always rent a car as we go to both Disney & Uni. It's a good time to splurge and rent a convertible I love the Pop! Everything is so bright and larger than life - it's fun!
My sister Kimmie & I get into arguments about the soaps and shampoos (I have quite the hotel collection). She wants me to wait to the end of the trip to take stuff, but what's the point of that? If you take it each day, they refill it Who doesn't need 7 mini shampoos and conditioners? To make her feel better about it, I leave the stuff in plain view on my toiletry bag - so housekeeping knows I'm taking it. See Kimmie? They replenish when your little bag is stuffed with mini hotel goodness
Yay another Canadian
AWESOME-
