Caroline Boyle · 03-03-2004

Sorry for the delay on getting this out. Having a hard time adjusting to the 4 hour time change.( Seattle -Caribbean)

Here it goes......
Day one- Wed. 2/11- 6 :00 head to the airport to catch our 8:00pm
flight.( I will keep this part short) The air lines we are flying is America west, nicest flight attendants. But the Airbus we were flying in sounded like it wouldnt make it off the ground, in fact it was so bad, my Mother turns to me and tells me to remember that she loved me.
We arrive over 11 hours later at Pop century. I can not tell you how impressed I was with this resort :D We head to our room for a quick shower and a little sleep. We have reservations for dinner at Ohanas at 6:40pm

O my goodness, what a way to begin!!!

tiggerlover1971 · 03-03-2004

Oh my what a long fight you had :dazed

Caroline Boyle · 03-03-2004

Ohanas was great, My children really injoyed the food and games.

Day 2...... ANIMAL KINGDOM To try to describe the tree of life
when we saw it from a distance i thought it was beautiful but to see it up close and the detail of the animals is awsome. My sons favorite was the scorpian. We head to see a bugs life we have seen this many times at DL, One of our favorites, a little surprised when my 7 year old DD gets frightened on this occation, vows never to see it again. We Run and get fast passes for the safari ride. Notice that there is only a 10 minute wait for the Dinosaur ride. Alot of fun, reminded us a little of the Indiana jones ride. Grab snacks, micky ice cream. yum. have a few minutes before the safari ride. My daughter mentions for the 20th time how she would like to have her face painted. I give in, a little surprised by the price 15.00 I think it took no more then 8 minutes ..I said to the CM who was doing her face he must be able to do this in his sleep. He said he could. I wish they had a how to book. My daughter chose the Swan. She looked darling.
Heading to the safari ride. read the warning sign at the entrance warning people who have bad backs etc not to do the ride. My mother decides to wait for us. so it is the children and myself .

It is what i would think a safari would be like. The CM we had was really good, my children loved it. My son really got excited when he thought we were going after poachers.
My mother could have easily done that ride. Driving on the Seattle freeways is much worse then that. She will get her chance to do the ride on Friday. We want to see this park again.
We end our day at the Rainforest cafe. food was great.

jbjags · 03-06-2004

great report keep them coming.

Caroline Boyle · 03-06-2004

Day 2... Start the morning off great, who wouldnt with Micky and Minnie waking you up. ( Love that) Heading to Epcot today. spending Valentines day with the Dcers. Meeting for the Ice cream social. it is a COLD cloudy start to the day, reminds us of Seattle.
have Breakfast at Pop century The kids are getting excited.
Bus service at Pop century is great. It takes about 10min and we are at Epcot. I just cant get over the size of this Park. Huge!
My favorite thing to do at any Dpark is the shopping at the the themed stores. 30min. later and a few dollars less in my pocket
we head to the Living Seas My kids realy enjoyed it. Head out and it is really raining. run to see Honey I shrunk the audience. Seen this many times at DL, Love it. Also see imagination institute
That was a cute ride. the kids loved playng there. Heading to the lands of Epcot. My allergies start to really act up. terrible headache. Decide to forfeit the ice cream social with the dcers feel really bad, No way to let them know that i wont be able to make it. Head back to the Hotel. Just hung out at the resort the rest of the day.

LRTJS · 03-11-2004

OK Carey, great so far! Sorry you had to miss the ice-cream social, I think it is fun! Waiting to hear more!!
