The rooms at Pop come with 8 pillows and more are available upon request. There is no need to bring your own unless you really wish to.

Thank you for this information! However, I have a hard time sleeping without my pillows. When we fly and I can't bring my own pillows, I end up spending hours trying to get comfortable at night, but this time we're driving, so I figure I can at least use a couple of mine to help me get to sleep.

Arrived at Pop this morning. Our room was ready at about 2:15. We had a room request on our original reservation and I sent a fax on Friday night. We got our exact request. Also we love Port Orleans but feel Disney has priced us out of a Moderate but we are very pleasantly surprised with Pop. The food court is great and the resort is fabulous and the reburbished rooms are amazing and super comfortable. Glad to be here!!!!

I felt the same way last time we compared POFQ to Pop. It just wasn’t worth it for the way we travel. Pop is it for us. Glad all is well! Have a fabulous trip!!

At Pop’s food court, do they offer cappuccino or other coffe specialty drinks? Asking for my DD. Thanks

Been to Pop many times, and as far as I have seen it is just regular coffee and decaf, and also hot chocolate and hot water for tea.

I haven't tried these myself, but for separate purchase in Everything Pop (not at the beverage stations), it appears they offer illy cappuccino and Joffrey's cold brew coffee.

Good morning. I am staying again at Pop in 19 days. In February they offered us a gift card to opt out of mousekeeping. I called to fix something on my reservation Saturday and asked if they were still doing that and she said no. I have read on here that they are. Disers that just came home in the last week, are they still offering it? Also does anyone have a picture of the sheet showing the number of days?

They are still offering this. It is $10 per night minus one night. We I was there just over a week ago it wasn't a paper flyer, but there are a few tablets set up on the counter with a slideshow of sorts with information and it was one of the slides. We were offered it at check in.

You were misinformed. We were there last week and received a $30 gift card for our 4 night stay.

What @momma2ethan said. From the onset I don't think this is a "perk" they advertise but I've been able to opt out every time. I've had the experience you have to do this at the front desk though (we just returned from a trip Aug 22)
BTW @akayek31 love HOOK!!

I love love love him. He was the best thing about Once Upon a Time to me If he wasn't on the last season I would have not watched it.

Have you heard any updates on estimates of when it will be open? Any possibility of next summer?

I heard one estimate of summer and one of fall next year. While I hope it is summer I doubt that will be the case (mainly cause we will hopefully go in June). I don’t think Disney has said anything. I believe it is estimated by people observing the construction.

Official dates have not been announced. We're booked for early next Sept and hope it's open by then but not sure it will be. Time will tell. They've made great progress since our Jan trip though!

Room request question... I was thinking of requesting “fireworks view” as the likelihood of us seeing any night shows is slim. I am just wondering if you can actually view them from inside the room. And if you don’t have that room is there someplace you can be outside and still see a little? Just unsure if it’s worthwhile to put that in as a request. Or if there would be any downside to that location. We’ve never stayed on site before.

Several years ago were in room 2454. 4th floor, lake facing in the 50's section. We had a nice, albeit distant view of both the MK and Epcot fireworks just by standing in our doorway. In addition to the fireworks view, it was a wonderful location. Right off the lake path, view of AoA and we could see a bit of Tower of Terror. I'm going to add however that I am not sure what the gondola construction has done to that view, I haven't been to pop since they started that. But it was a nice view both day and night and a good location overall in my ooinion.
