Trip Report I'm Tagging Along ~ LIVE! *COMPLETED*

Almost everybody has one ~ a friend or relative who doesn't think twice about inviting his/her self along with whatever you have planned.

I never thought I'd be that person.

Fortunately, I have a very understanding family who is actually excited about my joining them at WDW. < Phew! >

It's been a year since my last live trip report, so I hope I can do @JenniferS and her fans proud!

The Who's ~
Me, @Tuvalu

My brother's family arrived yesterday. Today they lunched at Liberty Tree Tavern. Told him to get the Ooey Gooey. He was glad he did. :hungry:

Poor little L didn't quite make it through lunch.

I literally "awwwwed" out loud at work seeing that adorable pic! My coworkers just shake their heads at me as they realize I'm just getting my Disney fix. :hilarious:

The bus made one stop before arriving at my resort. Guess where I'm staying. It's not where you think.

But the resort still starts with a P.

Why, it's everyone's favorite value resort ~ Pop Century! (Ok maybe not everyone's. But it is mine ;))

I was excited to learn I was in the 70s section because, well, the 70s rocked!

And I really dig 70s grooves. Ask my family. Them? Not so much. :joyfull:

When I opened the door to my room I was overcome by the smell of stale cigarette smoke. :hungover: But I didn't want to make a room change until I found out where my parents were, since we requested to be near each other. And I have absolutely no cell service in the 70s section of Pop (just remembered this from a previous stay) so I called the front desk and asked to be connected to my folks' room.

Of course there was no answer.

So I left my stuff in the room and began walking around the resort trying to get a signal. When I finally got a single bar, I called mom's cell phone.

No answer.

I decided to go to the front desk and ask if I could know the general area of my parents' room. (I knew they would not give me the room number.) But before I got there, lo and behold ~ I saw my parents carrying their belongings towards their room!

In the 60s section. Yeah, that was close to me. :banghead:

Their room was nice and odor-free. I left them to unpack and hoofed it to the front desk to request a room change. What should have been simple was of course not. Suffice it to say there were no rooms in the 60s section at all. But I was changed to another wing of the 70s which was closer to the 60s. Then I had to get my stuff out of the smelly room and move to the (thankfully) fresher smelling room I have now.

I remembered to pack my clock this time, but I don't need it! :)

(The time was wrong and I had to fix it.)

My complimentary can of mosquito repellent.

I unpacked and just as I was ready to go meet my parents, a torrential thunderstorm started. :arghh:

Epcot will have to wait.

Epcot is waiting for you lol! With full dramatic clouds!!

We stayed at 70's pop this past January and loved it. Sorry they couldn't get you closer to your folks! But it's generally the quieter section with no pool of its own.

Though I literally walked on my DME bus, we had to wait about 15 minutes for other guests to arrive. But I did get to sit near the front and had a wonderful view of everyone's favorite entrance ~
