We just got back on Tuesday too, 3rd floor also (building 4)! I agree it was loud, we had asked for a lake view but got pool. It was pretty noisy, but we could sleep through it. Great place for kids though!
We were in Building 3 (Tramp). We liked the Lady and the Tramp icons.
Here is a Pop Century review I wrote for my yet-to-be-posted trip report:
Pop Century Review:
Pros:
--The biggest pro is the price. The price is very reasonable for an on site stay!
--The icons are cute and colorful.
--The shadow boxes in the lobby are interesting. We looked at them several times.
--The themeing is cute.
--We loved the slurpee machine!
--The bus service was great! The longest wait we had was 20 minutes, but frequently we waited 10 minutes or less for a bus.
--It was nice to not share the bus with another resort. Once you're on that bus, you go straight to the park. You can't beat that!
--The room was small, but it was adequate for the three of us. I think it would have been adequate with dh, too. We don't need a lot of space.
--The lobby music was fun and fit in well with the resort.
--There are 3 pools, and my kids liked the beach balls. We swam in all 3 pools. The Hippy Dippy was our favorite, followed by the 50s pool. The computer pool wasn't themed as well as the others. The 80s/90s music wasn't playing when we were there. I don't know if the speakers were broken or if they just don't play music at that end. We enjoyed the 50s and 60s music--that added a lot to the theme of the pool!
--Mousekeeping did a pretty good job. We didn't get any towel animals or cute stuffed animal poses, but our room was clean. They came pretty early, before noon.
--The laundry room was clean and the location (right next to the pool) was very convenient.
Cons:
--You could hear neighbors too easily. We were near the elevator, which is convenient for walking, but we heard "ding!" and the ice machine a lot.
--We missed the perks of the moderate resorts. I knew ahead of time that we'd not have those perks, but we still missed them.
--Overall, I wasn't impressed with the food court. It was loud and busy at all times and the lines were long. If we wanted food at different stations, our food was cold by the time we waited in line and were seated.
--Pop Century is bright and loud at all times. There is a lot of action here! That's not a bad thing, but I prefer more of a tranquil setting when we take a break from the park. My kids liked all of the bright colors and action, but I fit in better at a quieter setting that is not "hopping" all of the time.
I would stay at Pop Century again if I were taking a short trip and/or if I were on a tight budget, but I prefer a moderate level resort over Pop Century. We do take breaks in our room and swim a lot, so we use the resort for more than sleeping. That said, Pop Century does have it's good points, and we enjoyed all of the pros of this resort!
, how much quieter is the 4th floor compared to the others?
