    Any Pop Century Experts here?

    Pop is my favorite resort on property and I've stayed there more often than anywhere else. It's a very walkable campus and I love the theming. The pools are great (especially the non-main "quiet" pools) and the rooms are fabulous since the refurb a few years ago. I've stayed in every area except...

    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    Been a while since I've posted on any boards here but my husband and I just booked for February 2022 at Coronado. It's our fifth wedding anniversary and we had stayed there last on our honeymoon in 2017. Can't wait to go back and hoping that operations at the resort will have returned to...

    Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

    Just got back yesterday from a five-night stay at Pop! We were in the '70s section, building 10, third floor. Had some noisy neighbors one morning but nothing so bad that the white noise machine or television couldn't drown out. We didn't opt out of Mousekeeping and returned to a clean room each...

    Dining Dress

    Husband and I did California Grill on our honeymoon after a full day in the parks. I wore a casual dress and he changed from his t-shirt into a polo for dinner, and we were pretty on par with just about everyone else there. You should be fine.

    Coronado Springs or Pop for sweet 16

    Construction at both is done. I love both. Why not ask her and see what she wants?

    Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

    More like the other way around - if you don't get your "room ready" message, assume that you need to go to the front desk.

    Magic Band Spending Limit for Kids?

    No way to limit magicband spending. Just get them giftcards with a set amount.

    Budget trip: All Star Sports vs PoP

    $350 is a pretty significant amount of money, in my opinion. Personally I'd stick with Sports for the sake of the money. But I'd also ask if you've shared a full-sized bed with the other not-so-small adult before - if so, was it comfortable? do you think you'd be able to share that amount of...

    All star sports or art of animation

    The last time I stayed at Sports was when I was a kid, so quite some time ago, but I have a lot of very pleasant memories of the place. I think the theming is still pretty cool, too! Save the money - literally all you're paying for in terms of a Sports room versus AoA Little Mermaid is theming...

    Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

    For me it depends on the situation. Last year I stayed for five nights with my husband, and we refused housekeeping since we figured with the second bed up anyway there wouldn't be much for them to clean up - we called for extra towels once and that was solid. Before that I was just there for a...

    Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

    When it comes to just about everything re: Disney, I always take the attitude of "your experience is YOUR experience." Plenty of people have encountered large groups clogging the food court on every one of their Pop stays. Plenty of people have never had that issue. You can't apply your personal...

    POP or Coronado - Honeymoon

    I honeymooned at Coronado for a week and loved it! We splurged for a king bed room and it was honestly incredible. We haven't been back since all of the rooms have been remodeled but we're planning on doing so for an anniversary trip in a few years! We also did a few nights at Pop last year and...

    help me chose a value resort

    Pop is my favorite of the values and one of my favorites overall. I've stayed during ESPN Wide World of Sports event weekends before and never found it to be any worse/busier than other times. You might just notice there being huge groups because they'll be in matching outfits, but given that...

    From Pop to trattoria timing?

    You can always try for an uber XL (or have multiple people in your party get two smaller ubers). I did pop to trattoria and it was pretty quick via uber. From the resort you'll have to budget time waiting for the bus, then 15 or so to HS, then walking over to boardwalk. I'd budget an hour at...

    First time staying value... Pop Century?

    Preferred Pool booking will place you smack dab in the middle of the 1960s section, which will be close to the main hall (food court/shopping), bus stops, skyliner, etc. Because you'll be right on the main feature pool you will run the risk of it being noisier during the day, so keep that in...

    First time staying value... Pop Century?

    I prefer the moderates overall, but I swear by Pop, especially since the renovations. I would say the renovated rooms "feel" more like a moderate due to the bigger beds and overall vibe of the room (even though they haven't been made any bigger). I'll be back at Pop for five nights in less than...

    **September 2019**

    Got my MDE tags yesterday, got costume pieces ordered for MNSSHP, so it really feels like it's happening at this point!

    Are new Toy Story Land rides jerky?

    I would describe Slinky as a remarkably smooth coaster. Lots of good airtime but you're not going to be jerked around corners. Saucers is a whip ride, so you do get moments of intense movement. However, you can see them coming - it's not an unexpected jerk to the left or right. Toy Story Mania...

    Departure Day Meals?

    I've generally planned for character breakfasts that you can get outside of the park on my departure days. I really enjoyed Cape May Cafe and Trattoria al Forno! It's a way to sort of keep the feeling of the vacation going rather than feeling like you're about to go home, I think. I think 'Ohana...

    Droid depot: reservation needed for regular merchandise?

    The reservation is just for the build area. You do not need a reservation to simply go in and buy merch.
