Ok my trip report is basically a meet and greet from another site so I will still post it since some of you asked me to tell you about it


day one December 2nd Thursday

We were supposed to leave at 5am but as many of you know I had a little trouble with the Disney store holding our funds and well we didnt leave until nine when I went to the bank and cleared it up got to Orlando about 12 Noon went to downtown disney and bought our passes at guest services then off to get some lunch ( we ate at like 5 am because we were so stressed about our situation . We decided to try Earl of sandwhich Richard had the jerk chicken sandwhich while I had the orginal which was Roastbeef and horsradish sauce both were yummy Well by this time we were quite exhausted but I needed to buy my ornament for my shuffle ( on a different site ) so we went to the christmas store to buy it then off to finally check into POP we decided to stay in the room for a bit and nap because we both got up at 4:30 am thinking we could get started on our trip then after a nap of an hour we got up and off to the food court for dinner and then off to MGM and the osbourne lights they are in a smaller area and are very close together I liked it when they had the residential street better . then after that we went to the boardwalk to check it out then off to go back to POP ( I really wanted to stay at Carribean with everyone else but ... DH out voted me )
