We had a very, very early wake-up…2:45 am! The one nice thing was the interstate was empty! We used curb-side check-in because we had 3 checked bags, 3 carry-ons, and 2 strollers. It was easier and worth it! Plus when we got inside there was a huge line to check in! We had breakfast at McDonald’s. Pancakes for Hannah and Ben and I had McGriddles. The new airport in Indianapolis is nice. The security area is set up really well. They had a separate line for families and it was a relaxed and easy to get through security. Now I haven’t been thrilled with Northwest Airlines, as our flights have changed about 5-6 times since I booked the tickets, but they earned my respect this trip. We got seated on the plane and we had 2 soldiers sitting behind us, the flight attendant came and told them they had been upgraded to first class. I thought that was a very nice thing. Our flight to Detroit was short and sweet! The layover was short, just enough time to take a potty break, get a snack, and let the kids play in the play area for about 10-15 minutes. Our flight from Detroit to Orlando was fine. Hannah slept almost the whole way, and Owen slept about 45 minutes…basically his morning nap!
This was our plane from Indianapolis to Detroit.
We got to Magical Express and got in line. The line moved quickly and we were soon on the bus to Pop Century. I was laughing on the bus because Hannah didn’t know whether to watch the Disney video or look out the window and she kept going back and fourth.
We made it to Pop Century and our room was ready! Yay! It was room 2942 in the 80’s section of the resort. We were very close to the elevator and the pool was right around the corner!
Next, we headed to the food court because it was about 2:30 and we were hungry! We grabbed a quick bite and then headed to Downtown Disney.
Hannah spotted the carrousel and wanted to ride, so Ben took her for a ride. Then we did a little shopping at Once Upon a Toy, and the World of Disney. We looked around in Pooh Corner, the Lego Store and the Art of Disney.
Owen slept while Hannah took a ride!
Hannah wanted to see the gator!
The Art of Disney Store is one of my favorites. Too bad, I can't afford anything. I would LOVE to have this Beauty and the Beast painting to hang over the fireplace!
Then we headed back to Pop to take a swim. It was Owen’s first swim. He seemed to really enjoy it. I didn’t take any pictures of swimming because it was sprinkling.
After swimming, we had dinner at the food court. After dinner, we headed back to the room, but not before Hannah wanted to run in the Goofy fountain. I told Ben we should let her, because we were going right back to the room and her clothes would dry! She had a wonderful time!
