Only 29 days to go!! It seems like so much less than yesterday when it was 30 days to go!! SO excited to get back to POP ! Haven't been there since 2006, so I'm really jazzed!

Can't wait to be in the under-30-days count!

Need a vacation in the worst way - need the magic of the happiest place on earth! Hoping the days fly by til we Pop!

Bread is sold by the slice. I'm about 90% sure I've never seen gallons of water. Can someone confirm?

I just put my dep for Pop 12/2/14-12/9/114. I am so excited I can't wait to get back to WDW and this time take my granddaughter Khloe.
My husband and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary ( it's actually 7/29) but we have no desire to be in FL for the summer time heat.

So now for lots of planning. I can't wait until it's time to book reservations and such.

1 year 214 days till my next Pop stay meanwhile I have a 214 day wait for Disneyland Could someone tell me how soon I can book an October 2015 stay. Do I have to wait till January 2015?

19 days... This month is going soooo slow... Keeping it a secret from the kids is so much harder then I thought it would be....

You can book a room only via phone 499 days out. Since the 2015 prices have not been released, you will be charged one night at the highest 2014 rate. The rate will then be adjusted once the 2015 rates come out.

Well change of plans....we were going to stay at AOA next year, now we're staying at POP again. My brother abd his daughter are going with us. Instead of staying at 2 different resorts, we just decided to stay at POP again.

How busy is the main pool during the afternoons in the summer? What about the "quiet" pools?

I've been going for my bday 5/6 since 2006 and have found the crowds very manageable but the parks are not empty.

Last year the weather was perfect but most years it is pretty hot-especially compared to Massachusetts.

4 more days until we check in to celebrate St Patrick's Day! Cant wait! Third year in a row celebrating at the Parks and Downtown. Always a great time centered around Raglan Road at night!

Had some miles gathering dust on our Southwest Visa so just booked for a last minute trip in April to Pop Century for DWs birthday!

This will be our first real stay at Pop. We tried it last time because we decided to stay an extra day and take the whole drive back to Virginia in one day rather than breaking it up, and Pop was the cheapest available for an extra day. We really dreaded it, but ended up LOVING it. We're big fans of AoA, and Pop was right down our alley as far as a value for our money and yet a nice place to stay on property. We're not really fans of the theme, but we do really love the resort...if that makes sense.

So we'll be staying four nights this time and can't wait!

They are not super powerful, but they do work pretty well. Much better than I thought they would be. One less thing to pack, which is always great.
