Hi all, I am headed to POP next Monday thru Friday and wasn't sure if anyone knew how often the disney springs buses come? I am debating renting a car just because I frequent disney springs daily whenever I visit and if it's not frequent then a rental car might be an option.

It will be published here but normally not until the beginning of the published week. I'm not sure how much the tie-dye varies in time so you might be okay looking at times close to your travel.
Disney buses (with the exception of Epcot and DHS during Skyliner hours) are supposed to arrive at least once every 20 minutes. That being said, I have waited a bit longer for a Disney Springs bus at times but they still tend to arrive fairly regularly.
This picture looks identical to the fridge that was in our room in January - https://www.disboards.com/attachments/pop-century-fridge-jpg.369348/
It works like most US fridges - turn the dial toward the thicker/darker part of the crescent to make it colder - toward the thinner part to make it warmer. If there's significant ice buildup, the fridge may either start to freeze everything or (more likely) not keep things cold. You can call for maintenance, or just turn it off/prop the door open until the ice melts, then turn it back to a midrange setting to cool the fridge down again.

Also, if I remember correctly, it doesn’t feel cold like a fridge when you open the door but cools items in it very well.

I was looking at touring plan's room finder and was surprised to see that the POP rooms that face the lake in buildings 3, 4, 5, and 6 are all standard level, even though I would think these would be ideal for those looking to use the Skyliner. With the relatively recent addition of the Skyliner, why hasn't WDW re-categorize these rooms? I mean they are close to transportation, which it seems is one of the main distinguishing aspects between Standard and Preferred, and their walk to dining would be minimal.
I have a preferred room booked for November but would actually prefer to be on the lake side of these buildings, so may be looking to down-grade to a standard room and hope they don't stick me in the 90s building.

They haven't re-categorized CBR, either. I think they've taken care of it by simply raising rates for all rooms at Pop, but that's just my opinion.
Here's a helpful map to see where the standard rooms are:

That's an awesome map, thanks for passing that along. It's a lot easier to read than the zoomed in maps on Touring Plans. It is for me, at least.
I can see not re-categorizing the CBR rooms due to the resorts sheer size. It just seems crazy to me that a room on the eastern most arm of the 50s section is more than the rooms overlooking the lake (like the ones under the Jungle Book characters in the map).

shhhhh! It’s our little secret!
I also thought they would do a room re-categorization once the Skyliner opened but so far they haven’t, at least that they’ve announced to us.
The challenge is that Pop is running at near capacity most nights so it really is luck of the draw which standard room we are placed in. That being said, our trips are normally 9 nights in length so I’m happy to wait for a room in the location I want or m, move the next day if necessary. We always stay standard and most times I’m very happy with our location.
Just give Mickey a little time.
He is not adverse to room category changes at Pop Century-when POP opened in 2003,ALL rooms in the 1960s were Preferred and ALL rooms in all other decades were Standard.

What section/room does everyone request at Pop?
One of our favorite locations is 1950s with a view of Bowling Pool-such a pretty area and we love the 1950s music-just a great vibe here.

Yeah, that would be a standard room, not standard pool view. The room assigner probably wouldn't put you in a lake view room, but you could ask at the front desk when you check in and see what they say.

We requested the 50s this time. (With lake view as our 2nd request.)

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

Last week in August is almost exactly the same as September - hot and very humid.
