I got back from our longest Disney trip to date a couple weeks ago, and as always, had an amazing time. I'm not really sure how, but every trip seems to get better than the last. So I could argue that this was my best trip yet. I don't know if I would go that far, but I really enjoyed myself. As far as my trip report goes, This is my first. So don't expect it to be poetry. And quite frankly, it's been too long since I got back to remember my trip day to day. So I'm just going to upload pictures one by one and give any commentary on them and anything that they remind me of. So, in advance, sorry if my report isn't all the way up to par. Anyway, let's get started.
So our trip was from The first of September through the 11th. We left from Portland international just as the sun was coming up, and got to our First of two resorts, Pop Century, that evening. As a lot of you know, I have a fear of flying. So by the time we got there, I was pretty loopy and not game for going to a park. So we decided instead to go check out Art of Animation.
The bridge is really a beautiful piece of architecture. It's a fitting gateway to the amazing eye candy of a resort we were about to be treated to next.
Disney has seriously outdone themselves with this newest value resort. It's so immersive and incredible. And everything has been put together so well and smart. You can really tell they listened to their guests when building this one. Which leads me to my next picture. The food they sell in their food court.
I got a build your own burger. And I couldn't believe it. Thick bacon! It's not those paper thin strips they usually try and get away with in their food courts. The burger was scrumptious. And real silverware, with metal baskets were a refreshing change. I approve! While walking around a little more, we decided to ask if we could check out a family suite. Turns out they give tours each morning. We eagerly signed up.
The next morning we head back to Art of Animation and into the lobby. Another visual feast that this resort offers.
Really a cool lobby. We meet our guide, who tells us some fun facts about the resort. First he shows us some blown up sketches on the opposite wall to the check in desks. Turns out, these are all actual sketches of Disney characters from inception to the final product.
The pictures of Dory in the right corner had a funny story to it. During the original concept sketching, they asked Ellen to read the script of Little Mermaid in slow motion so that they could see her mouth patterns with different words. They laughed so hard, those three sketches were all they could come up with. This is also where they got the idea of Dory speaking whale.
The rooms at the Art of Animation are seriously cool. And everything in them with the exception of the televisions are made in America. Good for you Disney!
After checking out the rest of the resort, it was off to the parks. To be continued!
