 our january journey - day 1, travel and MGM
Our January Journey Trip Report
Cast of Characters:
Me- Heidi, Disney Planner
DGF- Lauren, my wonderful girlfriend. Going along to humor me even though she hates noise, screaming children, crowds and rides. (My mission was to convert her to a disney nut like me)
DD- Alissa- Our 10 year-old daughter.
DM- Shirley, my mom. Along to spend some quality time with DD.
Day 1 ( Friday Jan. 5 2007) - Traveling and MGM
We woke up at 2:30 am to get ready and be out the door by 3:45. Had luggage already in the car, so just had to double check our carry-ons. Made it to the airport by 4:00. Breezed through check-in and security in time to enjoy a Starbucks coffee while we waited for our 5:55am flight. Flights were all on time and made in into Orlando by 1:00pm. Searched a little for the Magical Express check-in, once we found it, we were on the bus and on our way to Disney within 20 min. We checked into POP entury at about 2:00. (By the way, our ME driver called the resort “Pop Classic”. May be an indicator that the legendary years will not be opening and “pop century” will no longer be representing a century.) Our rooms were ready when we checked in so we went and checked them out. We recieved all our requests- connecting rooms, one with two double beds, one with a king and non-smoking. We were on the first floor in 70's. Rooms 0166 and 0167. These are on the front side of the building near the Twister game. I thought it would have been noisy, but barely heard anyone walking by for the whole week we were there. We did a quick clothing change and headed out to The Studios. We saw Muppetes, rode on Star Tours and took a ride on Tower of Terror. Stopped for some snacks, Mmmmmm. . . .turkey legs, then watched Fantasmic. The show was magnificent as always. After that we toured the Osbourne lights which were amazing. Rode Star Tours again and then headed back to the hotel for some well needed rest.
Up next. . . More MGM, and Magic Kingdom.
