Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

[Tom_E_D]

Strange question ... are there open restrooms in the main building by check-in? Or any near the pools that are closer to buildings? With 4 people in one room, I imagine at some point, someone will need to go "see about the gift shop" ;-)

There are restrooms in the main building and in each of the small buildings by the pools that contain the laundry rooms. I haven't been there since reopening so can't say whether they're open or not.

I am sure that this has been answered but I am a huge morning coffee drinker - do you have to stand in the line (mobile ordering one) to just get refills for your mug? or is there a separate one for that? Also does anyone know where they can buy before arriving the pod type coffee for the Cuisinart coffee makers - I have a Keurig so I never had to look for the pods, I looked at Bed Bath and Beyond but all I see are K-cups

When I had a pod maker I got them from Javapodz.com.

OK. I love the Skyliner. What are the waits like after the morning RUSH? Say, about Noon or 1PM in the afternoon. Is it still a mess at the Caribbean Beach station, or does it return to a postCovid normal?

Besides the morning rush we never saw a line any other time.

The Restrooms in Classic Hall and the Skyliner Restrooms are open.

We tried the Hippy Dippy Restrooms one day and they were locked so my "guess" is the Hippy Dippy/Bowling/Computer Restrooms are closed because they don't want Guests using the "Community Showers" during Covid times.

Having said that we only tried Hippy Dippy and just that one time,so others may have had a different experience.

Just tried to check-in for my standard room res for the week before Christmas. Unlike last Christmas in which every decade was available, now only 50’s and 70’s are shown. Anyone else notice this oddity?

I noticed this when I went to check in for my trip next week. Originally it was giving me more but it kept givinge an error when I tried to complete check in. Now I've only got the 2 options

That's a great resource! I make my own using the coffee I like, but for someone who doesn't want to (or can't) make their own this would be perfect.

When I was there early Sept. you had to wait in line to get a coffee refill in the mornings. I was happy I brought my own.

It’s not just you! I did the full online check-in earlier this month for our October trip. At the time I requested 60’s and water view. I popped into my account yesterday to check on something else and randomly clicked on requests. My original stuff was just gone, and as you correctly pointed out, only 50s and 70s were offered. Water view was gone entirely as a choice. So I chose 50s and ground floor.
Weird. But, after all, they are only requests.

I wonder if the 60’s rooms have all been changed to Preferred and Preferred Pool View rooms? Would make sense due to their location close to the Skyliner and Classic Hall. Way back the 60’s rooms were all Preferred.

The possibility of changing the room categories at Pop was discussed here when the Skyliner was being built. I guess time will tell if it has happened depending on where guests who have preferred rooms booked are placed.

That would explain the removal of the 60s from the preferences but the 80s and 90s were also missing. I know some of them are pool view rooms but a good number are just standard rooms.

Glad you said something, I had done my check-in and room requests already, and had requested 60s and higher floor, and both requests were wiped out. So I picked higher floor and 70s. If word comes out that the weirdness is changed before my trip, I’ll switch back to my original building choice.

Same here. Requested 50's water view a few weeks ago. Then I noticed a couple days ago that the water view option was removed and my second choice was empty. I replaced it with higher floor.

I've stayed at Pop twice before, but never bothered with the microwaves in the food court. I know those are gone for now anyways, just curious if they allow guests to bring their own to the room? I'd understand if the answer is no, just wondering if anyone knows for sure?

Same here. A couple days ago (when I first noticed the options had changed) I could also choose Lake View and Highest Floor, but those are gone now.

The koozies are tie-dye and come in two colors, blue or rainbow.

Anyone try one yet?

For anyone that’s recently visited... what bottled water options are available at the store? Any 12 packs or gallons? Thanks!

Wondering this too! I would love to not have to place an order.

And thank you all for the tip that check in requests have been wiped out. Mine was too.

Maybe we should ask the September board.. I usually go to Walmart but this time I'm trying not to mingle with Floridians
