I love how fresh and bright the rooms look!While I was in route to Pop, I got my room ready text. I was in room 3456, 4th Floor, Building 3 which was in the 50s section. Pop was the first stop and I headed straight to my room to drop off my carry-on bag. Before I did anything though, I took pictures of the room since this was my first time seeing the newly renovated rooms.
I love Tiki themed things too!My first stop at Disney Springs was the Disney Style store. I really love this store and can usually lay down some serious cash here. But I was getting really hungry at this point and didn’t spend much time. I saw after I got home that they now have a cute Tiki Room raincoat that I probably would have bought in a heartbeat. But I either missed seeing it or it wasn’t available yet.
Hurray!Feeling much better after a solid meal, I headed next door to Guest Services. For some reason I thought I had to use my tickets first before I could upgrade to an Annual Pass so I was planning on doing that the next day. But right before I left for the trip, I read somewhere that I could do it without having to scan into a park. I figured that since I was right there, I might as well give it a try. And I was able to do it with no problem at all! I was in an out in less than 10 minutes with this baby in hand.
You are actually saving money buying both, right??Then I wandered over to the World of Disney to look around. I did find a few items to buy here. First up was some socks. I had to have the pair with Pluto on them and since it was cheaper if you bought two pairs (Disney math again people) I also grabbed the Stitch pair. Stitch is my second favorite character after Pluto.
I need those pens in my life!I only picked up one other thing at Mouse Gear. I love the pens that Disney makes, they write very well. I have plenty at work but I decided I wanted a set for home. I ended up with this set which is based on Magic Kingdom rides.
Awesome!!By this time it was around 5 pm, my new AP was burning a hole in my pocket and Epcot was open until 11 pm with Extra Magic Hours. I decided to head back to Pop to drop off my purchases and then head to Epcot for a few hours. Of course I managed to just miss a bus at the DS stop and had to wait about 20 minutes for one. While I waited though, I hopped on MDE and was able to snag a Soarin’ FP for 7:30 pm.
