POP Century~Unofficially the Grooviest FAQ Thread #7~Sept 2012

[Janet B]

I will be there 2/20-2/25!!!!

So soon ... enjoy!

Just booked for 8 nights the first week of June!

Just booked April 14 to 19! We choose POP for it's rate (we can stay an extra day), its gratuitous theme, and its bus service (dedicated bus, lines for each park). Can't wait!

Hopefully POP will not disappoint you :: it is all that and more... great CMs... have a fabulous time

I'll be there the 14th - 19th of April as well. It's my solo spring getaway for the flower and garden festival.

Fantastic time to be in Disney...nice weather and F&G.

We are going to be there Feb 19th-23rd!!! I have already done online check in and can't wait!! Now I just need to pack! I booked a standard pool view and requested 50's building. I really really really hope I get 50's. I don't want to be stuck out in the 80's or 90's building. I almost tempted to call and see if I can upgrade to a preferred room. I almost did yesterday when I talked to them on the phone. It would only be like 36 or something like that to upgrade to a preferred room view. Does anyone have any experience with the standard pool view category? What building were you given?

I was in the 90s and loved it. I didn't mind the walk to get something to eat or refill my mug. Easy walk to the bus stop.

 

[TinkTink78]

I love the 90's location!!

 

[goofyfigment]

We stayed in building 8 and loved it, didnt think it was really too far from anything. Cut across the parking lot and you were at the bus stop

In 9 days we will be there. Tired of the winter here in Jersey. Anyway, my question I have is this, can I connect my laptop to the tv? I know this is silly but just in case I want to watch a movie, I want to be able to see it on the tv.

When I had a std pool view, it was bldg 1. I really liked it for that stay. I had 3 teens girls w/ me and it worked well for a June trip! As of late, I have been booking a 'plain' std room as that has been working just fine for me but the pool view room is nice....

Depends on what connections you need, but generally yes, the current televisions have input jacks.

When you say building one was that 50's or 60's?

 

[skilesare]

Any one know if they will relocate the movie nights while the hippity pool is closed? We will be there feb 26 - march 3.

Building 1 (my favorite) is in the 50's section. It has the Lady icon.

It was the 50's section....view of the bowling pin pool (which is a QUIET pool).

Bldgs 4 & 5 are the PREFERRED pool view of the Hippy Dippy pool. You couldn't PAY me to stay in a preferred pool view room!!! That pool is WAY too noisy for my liking!!! LOL!!! BTW, The preferred pool view rooms are the most expensive rooms at POP (just in case you didn't know).

We'll be there tomorrow

The main pool isn't closed right? We're heading down on the 23rd and it sounds like one of the quiet pools is closed.

Have a a great time! It's nice you are staying over 2 weeks, so hopefully lower crowds after the holiday. Enjoy!

Have fun!

Safe travels and have a fantastic time!

That's correct! From post #6 of this thread:

Hippy Dippy Kiddie Pool closed 2/19/13-3/15/13 - pool deck replacement.

Bowling Pin Pool closed 2/25 - 2/27/13

Computer Pool closed 2/28/13-3/1/13

Should not be a factor The movies show in the area between the 60s (main pool) and 70s on the grassy area closer to Classic Hall.. the kiddie pool is located on the other side of the main pool, towards the lake.

Hello Poppers!! I'll be hanging around here for a bit. DH and I have decided that we're going to try Pop out for our December trip. It's a way we can afford our 10 day WDW trip even if we don't get a discount.

DH is super excited about trying the resort out and would like to try for a lakeview room. I'm just afraid will have a lot of requests. In a perfect world we would like - non-accessible king bed lakeview top floor 50's section (not sure what the building # of Tramp is).

Now obviously we're fine if we don't get all that. but is there a better way to word the request?

TIA
