Hello Humans,
Welcome to the full trip report for our anniversary trip. We are Jim and Sarah. I am the planner of the group. I listen and take copious notes on what Tim Tracker, Nate, Kyle, Molly, AJ, and JoJo say. The trip is titled 10-20-50. Its our 10th trip, our 20th anniversary and Disney World’s 50th.
Our trip was from Sunday August 14th through Thursday August 18th. We stayed at Pop Century.
Sunday August 14.
Lets Get this Party Started
We left from Philly to Orlando on the first flight with American Airlines. We arrived around 9:15 and were on Sunshine Express roughly 945-1000. I debated between Mears and Sunshine. Sunshine Express really delivered. Pickup was smooth. Maybe a 10 minute wait. There were 3 stops on our bus including Art of Animation but we were the second stop. I was really happy with Sunshine Flyer and will definitely use them again.
I did online check in but when we arrived the room was not ready. I stopped at the front desk and we were able to get a room. Our room was 3247. Not too far from Classic Hall. But distant enough that we weren’t really on top of anyone. We decided to get something to eat. It was the first of only two meals we ate at Classic Hall. Sarah ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich. On a scale of 0-10, it was a -10. It was horrible. We probably threw half of it out.
We got our bathing suits on and went to Petals. They didn’t have any blueberry mix so we couldn’t get the Blueberry Lemonade but we got the Long Island Iced Teas. They were good. We were ready to jump in the pool but a storm was coming and they shut down the pool and the deck.
We left for Disney Springs. We wanted to bar hop. We wanted no big sit down dinners. Relax and just go with the flow.
Our son, who just was at Disney for his Senior Trip, raved about Chicken Guy so we started there. We really liked it and was happy to hear that they are opening one in Atlantic City soon. We walked through the Coca Cola store, and then stopped at Jock Lindseys. Sarah got the Cool Headed Monkey and really enjoyed it. I got the Barnstormer. I wasn’t thrilled with it. Met a real nice man from Wales. He is a writer and his book will be made into a movie soon. Forget the guys name but his book is called Sadaam’s Legacy. But it’s not about the Sadaam we all know. Our next stop was Raglan Road. We just sat at the bar and had a Coors and a Yuengling. We really loved the Irish Dancers. Could have sat there for another 3 hours but the long day was catching up to us. After Raglan, we walked over and got our pictures taken at the Photo Pass place. We got some nice pictures and some with a lot of cool backgrounds.
The highlight of the night came when we went to Chef Art’s Homecoming. Sarah got a Margarita Moonshine and we split the deviled eggs. Sarah absolutely loved the deviled eggs. She raved about them the rest of the night. We had been up since 3:30 and we were winding down so we left soon after.
