This update is a complete surprise. I came home from school on Friday afternoon, looking forward to take a nap, since I had been up since 5, and looking forward to eating, since I forgot my lunch money. Anyways, I walk in the house, and my aunt and her friend (from Massachusetts) are sitting on the couch, with my mom talking. My Aunt was like "We got a room at Pop Century, and I wanna see Wishes tonight, and I want you to stay over at Pop Century with us, and come to the MK aswell" and I wasnt gonna argue, so I said "ok then". We waited for my brother to come home, and he also decided he wanted to come. So here are the park updates, and I'll have my impression of Pop Century (as a guest this time lol) at the end.
At The Magic Kingdom
--That shop in Timekeeper is still open. I read in someone else's update that they moved the stuff that was in Merchant of Venus into this shop, and changed the merchandise @ Merchant of Venus. Thats true. The stuff at MOV now is just general Disney stuff.
--On Splash Mountain, the jumping fish AA that was just halfway jumping up and down last time, has been shutoff, and doesnt jump at all now.
--All 4 of us saw Wishes. It was the first time My aunt and her friend had seen it. They loved it. They really did think it was great. As we were leaving though, we looked at our shirts, and black things were all over us from the fall-out of the fireworks. Peices of cardboard could also be seen falling from the sky.
--We ate at Tony's resturaunt. I was treated like a 4 year old in there. It was so rude. The waitress especially. We had so many though, since some would leave, that we couldnt figure out who was who. I didnt have a good time in there, and that was the very first time I had eaten there.
So, after that, we were gonna take the bus to Y&BC and walk to Epcot from there. The bus line was INSANE. So we decided to take the resort monorail to the TTC and get a monorail to Epcot. The line there was ALSO insane. My brother and I were tired of waiting, so we went another way, while my Aunt and her friend took the monrails. My brother and I walked to the Contemporary, bussed over to MGM, and then walked to Epcot. We got there at like 8. My Aunt got there at 5 til 9, and decided just to go back to the hotel. So, we got to see Illuminations, and then waited in ANOTHER insane line to get a bus to Pop Century. The line just looked crazy though. The bus drivers get props. There was prob. 1000 people in the line for Pop Century, but we didnt wait any longer then 10 minutes to get on a bus.
So...my impression of Pop Century as a guest...I LOVED IT! We stayed in room 5150, in the 60's building. Perfect walking distance to everywhere. The rooms were alright. Real Nice and colorful. Retro-ish. There could have been some more lights in the rooms though. My brother loved it too. It was his first time there. We both spent alot of time in the arcade. I got ALOT of goodies Including "THE CLICKER" (LOL Kenan and Tifani). The "Spinning Colors" game is your best bet on getting the most tickets. This morning, for breakfast, I had chocolate chip pancakes, and washed it down with a slushie. SOOO good! My brother and I, Friday Night, were out by the pool til, like 1 or 2am, just playing with our stuff from the arcade. I really loved Pop Century.
Thats its for today...but wait...there more...if you order now...um, lemme stop lol...NO, but really, tomorrow, I will be doing my normal park trip with Tifani, so look for a full Park Update tomorrow night
Pictures up soon
