Trip Report It's going to be a magical-why is it so hot-where is the churro cart-as it happens trip report.

Going to try to post live goings on as we spend two days at Uni and eight days at WDW.

Where - Pop Century
When - now (well as soon as we land)
Who - Mrs. 'Matata, son and daughter and Mother in law.

Notables:

First time ADRs at BOG and Nine Dragons.

Daughters first trip after conquering fear of roller coasters.

Sons first trip tall enough to ride everything.

First trip with the FP+, MDE, Memory Maker options. So far have not experienced any glitchy ness.

Decided to see if we could get in early at le chefs. Glad we did. Downpour.

Burger was good. That's half of it. It's huge. Easily enough to split among a couple of people. View attachment 95612.

How could you NOT put Bernaise on your burger?!

I'm not a big fan of complex flavors on my burgers. Outside of bacon, mustard, cheese, bacon, jalapeños, and bacon I really don't care for any other condiments ( lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion should always be considered standard).

So we ended our trip with a ride on Spaceship Earth. Then a slow walk out the gate to the bus stop. All that was missing were some prisoners quoting lines from "the green mile".

I've got some additional photos that I will be posting once I get home *sigh*. It was one of the best trips that we have been on. I think FP+ had a big part to do with that given the flexibility it adds. I will probably try to put a longer manifesto type post together a la @sshindel but it probably won't be as well written.

Thanks to those who have been following along and thanks to @wdwmagic for allowing a forum to share the fun with others.

What was your overall opinion of Pop Century? I check in on Friday and it will be our first time at that resort.

We enjoyed it for what it is. A value resort. Our room was clean. The grounds were well kept. Food court could use some variety, but what they served was good. I like the set up with the food court and gift shop all in the same area (open floor plan). I don't think we ever waited longer than ten minutes for a bus either going or coming from the parks.
