We bought a package via a vacation planner:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.smallworldvacations.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Small World Vacations<\/a> The package includes 4 night stay at Pop Century resort , 3 Nights at Art of animation resort, 7 days pass to themepark+ Free 4 days of quick service meals<\/p>\n<p><strong>15 Nov<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We reached Orlando bright and early *yawnz* Early means 6.30am ( there is a time difference of 3 hrs!) We were zombified BUT glad to survive the uncomfortable plane ride<\/p>\n<p>First thing.. we took the Magical Express and checked into the <a href=\"http:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/resorts\/pop-century-resort\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pop Century Resort<\/a> We took the room which was available ( twin beds instead of King) as we just wanted to rest a little before heading out. The thing about staying inside a Disney&#8217;s resort is your bags will be transported magically to your room &#8211; there&#8217;s no need to wait for it at baggage claim or carry it yourselves! Another thing is.. u can get free bus transport to all the parks + downtown disney! No need to rent car\/drive! I love holidays when both of us can relax!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/199.96.156.76\/~binghuan\/seattletimes_6eptember\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/room.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3500\" title=\"room\" src=\"http:\/\/199.96.156.76\/~binghuan\/seattletimes_6eptember\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/room.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/room.jpg 404w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/room-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/room-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a>As you can see, there&#8217;s nothing special about this room. In fact, this resort is quite dated. I am glad that we booked the Art of Animation resort in the later part of the stay as it is very new and beautifully furnished!<\/p>\n<p>We headed to the first park&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/199.96.156.76\/~binghuan\/seattletimes_6eptember\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/111.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3516\" title=\"11\" src=\"http:\/\/199.96.156.76\/~binghuan\/seattletimes_6eptember\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/111.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/111.jpg 404w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/111-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/111-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Disney offers this photopass &#8211; it&#8217;s a card that you give the photographer and they will save the pictures for u. You are not obliged to buy the pics and they will stay in their system for 1 mth!! wow! anyway, their photographers are quite good! Hence, we took many pictures!!

It&#8217;s like a virtual paintball shooting game in a vehicle! Super fun! I played this 3 times!! \ud83d\ude42 Love it to max! Strongly suggest that once u step into the park, zoom to this attraction and take a fastpass &#8211; the waiting line is the LONGEST of all the rides!<\/p>\n<p>Ok&#8230; so while i take my fave ride for the 3rd time, BH went for the Tower of Terror! Gosh.. I was supposed to go with him BUT chickened out.. He went for it alone and LOVES it!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/199.96.156.76\/~binghuan\/seattletimes_6eptember\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3517\" title=\"12\" src=\"http:\/\/199.96.156.76\/~binghuan\/seattletimes_6eptember\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/12.jpg 404w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/12-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/12-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the night is the Dancing Lights along of streets of this park!
