    Smile live from Pop Jan 13-21

    Our flight left on time at 6:00 am and had one problem with that. The TSA guy said my daughter needed a boarding pass, and I said they said they took care of that at the counter. He said no they didn't because it wasn't listed on there. He refused to radio down to the ticket counter to verfiy, and made me walk all the way back with my daughter. The lady at the ticket counter had to radio up to the TSA guy saying it was marked on one of the boarding passes, and he didn't look at it! When I went back he didn't even apologize! I dislike the TSA very much. Never very friendly to famlies it seems like!

    Anyways, on with the trip. We arrived today at 1pm and waited less than 10 min for Magical Express. The bus was full and my family was the last to get on. When we went to the back of the bus the driver had not adjusted the seats for them to open up. They were still scrunched up for wheelchairs. He didn't even ck on us, and took off! My 2ds fell back! My dh was holding our daughter and trying to fix the seats while he was driving! Some french guy was kind enough to offer his help to my dh since his hands were full. Half way there we finally got to sit down!

    We ck into Pop maybe 20 min later, and check in was pretty quick too! 15 min maybe. We get settled in then go get lunch at the food court. Food was ok. Then it was off to Downtown Disney. We waited awhile here for a bus. When we got down there my 2ds made their own lightsabers and then went to the Lego Store and bought the containers where you can fill them till they're full. I also got my dd a princess shirt at World of Disney in the princess section. Then we were off to Rainforest Cafe for dinner. There was over an hr wait, but thanks to me joining the safari club last year I had less than a 15 min. wait. With the safari card We got a free appetizer (cheese sticks), and I also got to use a $5 off coupon we had received in the mail. All the deals and coupons you get with the card soooo covers the one time membership fee of $10! By the time dinner was over everyone was tired, so we called it an early night with an early morning ahead of us tomorrow at AK. All 3 kids fell asleep on the bus ride back to Pop, and even my DH had dosed off as well.

    Next up is AK tomorrow and then Epcot in the evening with dinner at Le Cellier! More tomorrow.
