Hello! I just got back from a four-day three-night non-stop trip to the World for my graduation! It was just my dad and I, and it was so much fun!
We arrived on May 2nd from Philadelphia, and it took us FIVE hours to get there. We had tons of delays. We landed to rainy weather in Orlando. Once we finally got through to Magical Express we were greeted by large groups of cheerleaders coming to compete in the Summit competition. Disney had a lot on their plate this weekend!
Getting onto Magical Express wasn't that bad. While on it, my dad and I were trying to check our fastpasses and we had trouble on the app. We finally found them. We later found out the mymagic+ system was down for a while that day, un-linking tickets and resorts.
We arrived at Pop! Century Resort. We have never stayed at Pop! before. We checked in and they gave me this button:
I put it on immediately.
We got our room, and we went up to drop off our stuff. Our room was a mess. The carpet was definitely not vacuumed, there was food and dirt everywhere. My dad and I had to pick up some of the dirt. There was also baby powder on the bathroom floor, and food in the drawers. We were not impressed, but the room made do overall.
Since it was raining, we decided to go to packet pick-up for the Everest Challenge. It was at ESPN Wide World of Sports across the street. At the bus stop at Pop, there was a sign with directions for transportation, but not where to get the buses. We waited by the sign, and when a bus came, we had to chase it all the way down to the far side. Disney definitely could have done a better job with signs.
Once we got on the bus, we rode to ESPN, where we were dropped off in a random lot and we had to walk to the baseball stadium. In the pouring rain. Packet Pick-Up was organized and we didnt stay that long. I did win a Fit2Run tee shirt though!

After packet pick up, we went back to POP and then got on a bus to EPCOT!
