Pop Century Resort

We stayed at our first ever Value Resort (lowest tier of Disney resort).  Mom was worried that it would not be nice, but we were pleasantly surprised!  Our room was recently remodeled and very modern!  The hotel was super cute in a decade theme (we were in the 80s wing)!  The outside of our wing was decorated with cute 80s things such as giant Rubix Cubes and Pac Man icons!  The pools were not as cool as the moderate resorts (no slide) and there was not a sit down restaurant and the room was a tad smaller, but it was really nice!  We would definitely stay here again.

The Crystal Palace

Our first sit down dinner was at The Crystal Palace.  Mom thought we had never eaten there before, but she was wrong!  The food was good (even though it was a buffet), the problem was that it was a character meal where we should have met 4 Winner the Pooh characters, but they were so slow at coming around that we only met one...Tigger.  Mom complained to the manager and he apologized and gave us 3 fast pass tickets.  Just when he did that, people from the table near us started to scream as the baby was choking and turning blue.  The manager ran over there and saved her life!!!

Mom was not happy with not meetng characters and called WDW to complain (she had never complained at Disney before). They were so nice that they gave us 3 more sit down meal credits to use another day!!  We were excited!

Gaston

Mom and dad were super excited to meet Gaston.  I was nervous!  He talks and is really funny and kinda teases you!  YIKES! He teased me and I did not know what to say to him...then he made mom come up and get a picture with him and me!!  We did not get photos of that, but I bet it would have been funny!  He was pretty cool....at least I thought that AFTER I met him!

The Barnstormer

First character meet

To mom's dismay, I was not really into getting characters autographs this trip.  We had an autograph book and I did get some, but mom had to really make me do it.  We stood in line to meet the step sister (I really did not want to because they talk and talk to you and act all silly and embarrassing)....to my good luck, they traded out the step sister for the very sweet Fairy Godmother!!  YIPPEE!

It's a Small World

An oldie but goodie! They updated the end with these screens and when we floated by at the end they said "goodbye" to us by name!  It's pretty cool all the things the magic bands can do....including ensure Disney knows where we are at all times while in their parks!!!
