Mom and I are back! Live from Pop!

[Melanie]

Have fun, Meg and Mom!

I second Cindy's recommendation on BOG. Do it if you can!

[Dopey's Girl]

Thanks for the suggestion of BOG... We were just talking about that.

I have a complaint, but have to preface it first. I love the way Disney goes out of its way to help its disabled guests. They are top notch at doing all they can to enhance the guest experience. It's great. However, I have just spent the last 15 mins on a packed, parked bus because just as we were going to leave the stop a woman in a scooter came up. Not only did the driver load her and her 8 family members, but she made a bunch of people get off the bus. I just don't think that is right. The bus was already full (no room for any other people to stand even) but the driver had closed the doors and was about to leave when her family ran and knocked on the door. Kind of crazy...

Oh well. Off to MK to show mom FLE!

Thanks for the day to day. I am really enjoying it.

I agree that it was a poor decision by the bus driver. If there was space, then they should get on. If they do not, they should wait for the next bus. Just like everyone else would if we got to the bus as it was ready to pull away.

I want to be in Disney World!!!!!!!!

[Dopey's Girl]

I'm line for BOG! Can't wait to try it out!

Sounds like you are having a terrific time. The bus thing would have driven me a bit nuts and I know my husband would have gone to guest services to complain...it just is not right to be on a full bus and then asked to get off.

Back at Pop for a break! MK is super busy today! We rode the new Ariel ride (name escapes me) HM, BTMRR, Peter Pan, and Priates before we left. The highlight of the morning was a very light lunch at BOG. So, so beautiful in there! The food was pretty good. We just had soup and a cupcake. It was really early for lunch (10:30) so we weren't overly hungry, but we really wanted to see it!

We are heading back in a bit, but just needed to escape the masses!

Hope you're havinga wonderful Magic Kingdom day!

[disney obsessed]

What are you doing today?? Where are you now?


I wish i were there!!!

[January-2007]

Thanks for reporting!

[Dopey's Girl]

In Epcot today. Still busy, but ok. I'm over the masses of Brazillian kids. They have not been fun to deal with. Loud, rude and terribly under supervised.

Just finished Soarin (waited 40 mins in the fastpass line). Now I'm waiting in Innovemtiona to meet Cindy and her Daughter!

[SBETigg]

Oh no, tour groups! Cool that you're meeting up with Cindy and her daughter, though. Good times ahead!

[BriarRose0708]

Sounds like a great INTERCOT mini-meet! So glad you liked Be Our Guest, I can't wait to try it next year. Maybe we can do a nice group meal there?

Eeek, sorry about the tour groups. I have another friend there this week too and this was his Facebook post:
"So, I'm pretty certain almost ever resident of the country of Brazil is presently visiting DisneyWorld. If we ever had hopes of invading Brazil, now would be the time to do it. They will be completely defenseless."

Hope the crowds thin out for you. Thanks for the real time updates!

[Katzateer]

There were a lot of tour groups for us also but we didn't have any problems with any of them. But I know from past years, it can be horrible! Hope that part of it gets better!!

[emerzmom]

Thanks for the live reports and sharing a little pixie dust. BoG sounds wonderful. Sorry about the Brazilliians. Can't wait to hear where you are tomorrow. Hope it is warmer.

BOG meet would be fun!

Your friend is right...that's so funny!

As much as I love it here, I'm over the masses of rude teenagers, and am ready to go home. Gasp, can't believe I just said that! But, since I have my next trips planned, it's a bit easier to think of leaving.

Today with Cindy and Co. was a lot of fun! They taught me all about some stuff in Epcot that I've never done (Agent P adventure and Innoventions stuff). It was so much fun to just wander and chat!

Tomorrow is MK again, with lunch at LTT! Can't wait. We love it there!

Meg, sounds like you are having a good time despite the tour groups!

Regarding the bus driver, they were in the wrong to do that. This is why most drivers load a wheelchair/ECV first so to accurately assess the number of people that can fit after securing the chair(s). That family was rude.

Now, when I was there in December with my Mom,who uses a wheelchair, I remember a sign posted at the Beach Club bus stop that said that no more than 6 people, including the wheelchair passenger, can board together. Can you look if they have that sign at your resort bus stop or if you see it at any other bus stop?

I'll take a look Christine. It was just so frustrating since we were loaded and ready to go before they even got to the stop!


Today we and our trip at MK. I'm sad to leave, but so ready to get home. I miss my niece and nephew horribly. It's been a good trip, but both mom and I are ready to get home to our own beds and pillows!

Sorry about the crowds but it sounds like you and mom are making the best of it and have managed to enjoy yourselves in spite of them.

[Dopey's Girl]

Crowds are much better today! Average wait is about 20 mins. So much better!!!

Lunch at LTT in about 45 mins. Can't wait! That is a tradition with my family, and can't be missed!

Yay! Hopefully you can get a lot done on your last day. Enjoy LTT lunch, it's my new favorite MK meal and I am sure it's going to be great!
