The original "plan" went as follows:
Pick Tyler up from school.
Eat a quick lunch and get on the road.
Check in at Pop Century.
Spend the afternoon at Downtown Disney.
Eat dinner at Downtown Disney.
Drive to Fort Wilderness to attend campfire sing-a-long.
Walk to the lake to view the lagoon parade and distant fireworks.
Back to hotel and to bed.
Actual events, courtesy of Tropical Storm Fay:
Pick Tyler up from school.
Eat a quick lunch and get on the road.
Drive slowly in order to avoid complete blindness from heavy rain.
Sit in car at Pop Century, debating just how wet we could get while carrying in our luggage.
Check in hotel. Get wet in process.
View heavy rain out of hotel room while Tyler bounces on beds.
Note that people are still swimming.
Don bathing suits and head to kiddie pool.
Play in pool in rain, quite heavy at times.
Eat dinner at Pop Century cafe.
Shop in gift shop during next downpour.
Puddle jump back to hotel room.
Keep our fingers crossed and head to Fort Wilderness.
Take bus out to campfire sing-a-long area.
Observe washed out campsites and significant flooding.
Sit, under cover, in total downpour.
Take bus back to parking lot.
Drive home.
Eat "smores" in hotel room.
To bed.
However, as you can see, Tyler had a ball. All worth it!

The lifeguard's in rain gear?? LOL! I'm glad you guys had a good time despite the rain. I thought about you when we were in Orlando Saturday. I had to drive thru a horrible rainstorm on our way home and I hate driving in the rain!!
I'm sorry you had such a soggy day, but as long as Tyler enjoyed himself, I'm sure everything was fine.
Way to turn lemons into lemonade, Heather! You sure did make the most of it - good for you. Much better than complaining and turning around to come home (as I'm sure some people would do!)
I love Pop Century...That is my favorite place out of all the resorts....I loved Animal Kingdom, but for as much time we actually spend at the hotel, I love the value ones....And the decor....Love it, love it, love it...Tyler did too..
Hey, we were leading parallel lives over the weekend only insert Port Orleans for Pop Century! We went to Hoopdeedoo review on Saturday night and got soaked waiting for them to let us in! It was a fun experience all in all. Love the rain!
