Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

Planogirl · Nov 25, 2015

I have a question about parking since we're driving. Are magic bands automatically activated to allow someone to park a car at the resort and the parks? Or do I have to check in and get something done?

MinnieMSue · Nov 26, 2015

Magic bands come activated

Planogirl · Nov 26, 2015

Does that include parking at the resort and the parks? I'm thinking it does but it's not clear to me.

MinnieMSue · Nov 26, 2015

Yes I believe it should

I got an email that I can bypass the front desk and go directly to my room next week when we arrive at POP. How does this work when I still owe my room balance (I booked a room only reservation)? I want to pay the room balance off with Disney gift cards.

My DH and I have a preferred room booked at Pop in a couple of weeks. We will get in around 11:00 a.m. For the online check-in options, if I check the box that says my top request is early check-in, would it still be a guaranteed preferred room? I'm guessing that since we paid for a preferred room that it still would be, but I don't want to check that option if we could possibly be put in a standard room. Thanks for your help, everyone! These boards have been so helpful in planning our trip.

Yes they will keep you in a preferred room

THREE DAYS! C'mon Monday! (File that under things I thought I'd never say!)

Just arrived two days ago. Noticed a few menu changes, not sure if it's been posted yet.
Gone are all the flatbreads that were available during lunch. Also removed is the Thanksgiving Turkey sandwich...

Also noticed the portion size for the BBQ pork ribs was cut in half. Three tiny ribs will cost ya $11.79 if you aren't on the Dinning Plan!
Just an FYI too, buses still have a long wait. MK bus is pretty regular, but waited 40 minutes for a bus to Disney Springs.

Oh no! Is that the turkey, stuffing, mashed potato sandwich with cranberry mayo? That's my favourite and I was so looking forward to that in less then three weeks. :sad:

Sadly, that's the one....

DH was also sad to hear of the disappearance of the turkey sandwich as he was looking forward to trying it. :sad2:

We were also going to try the cheeseburger flatbread and are sorry to hear that's disappeared as well. I wonder if any of them will be offered for dinner? If you think of it, could you check and see? Thanks for the update!

Do you know what (if anything) has replaced the sandwich and/or the flatbreads?

Hi!
The turkey sandwich and the flatbreads are not available at dinner time either....

Hi!
It doesn't look like anything has.

Thanks! That's too bad. Hopefully there is something new and delicious on the horizon.

Hello again, everyone! We stayed at Pop Century a couple weeks ago, and I made a video overview of the entire resort, including a look at our room in the 70's section.

The overview is pretty long, and it covers the entire resort.

Hope this is informative and enjoyable!

Wow! Part of the reason we decided to stay at Pop was the good transportation and to a lesser degree the decent food court. I'm wondering about all of that now.

I can just drive each day I guess but what about the food court? What is good there? Would it be worth to walk over to AoA?
