Teaching an old mouse new tricks: A father + son trip report

Hi all! Leaving IAH right now Disney bound with my father! Just us two on this trip!! Going to be my first attempt at a live trip report. We shall see how this goes! I don’t know how long I’ll be able to keep it up, but I’ll give it my best shot!!

Making it right on time to the airport, and already getting some solid line patience practice in!

ThrillData coming in clutch!!

I never got a Space 220 Lounge ADR with my prebooking dates and I was starting to regret it. I set an alert a while back, and it’s hit a few times, but never been able to snag it. Until just literally right now.

Off to a good start!

Couldn’t snag BG1 on this one :smiling_face_with_tear: but thankfully BG2 somehow due to card perks!

Touching down in MCO!!

Checked my Disney app. Got assigned building 9 for Pop. Should I call and ask for a change? Ask at the front desk? Preferably wanted something closer to Skyliner…

I wasn’t able to get a better room with chat but others have had success with the front desk. Doesn’t hurt to try chat too though.

I’ll swing by the front desk then! See what they can do.

How I know I’ve made it:


Now just waiting for our bags and then taking Uber to Pop!

I hope the front desk can help you out. I know @heathernoel and @LTinNC82 had a really good Pop room in Dec but I can’t recall which category or building it was in.

No luck on room request sadly. They said they are completely packed. Didn’t push the topic much either, we will be okay :slight_smile:

I was in 90s the first time I stayed at Pop – it was fine once I got my bearings around the resort. I hope you have a great trip!

Building 9 isn’t too bad. I’ve been in building 8, which is the furthest south, and I still had a good time.

We had a standard room in building 4, but only bc I stopped by the front desk early in the day and begged to be moved closer to the skyliner.

Fwiw building 9 is the least worst building of those far out 80s & 90s section buildings.

Made a last second choice this morning to upgrade our tickets to park hopper!! Had to do it with Guest Relations though, and made it in to DS right before they closed. Already modifying the plans I can for the new change!

It’s going to be a great day tomorrow!

Me finding out “Hey Disney” is just an Alexa, and I feel like I broke out of the matrix or something :joy:

Decided to call it Alexa and it responded :slight_smile:
