    Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

    We are staying at Pop in 15 days!! But just for one night before heading to SSR. I'm so confused on how the luggage transfer works. Do they take it to our new room or do I have to pick it up from the lobby? We are doing DS and then DHS around 3-4. Will it be there before 4? I don't want to have...

    What do you pack for the parks?

    I bring my phone and a small zip ID case with $20, CC, and ID and sometimes Tums. We apply sunblock before we leave the room. If it doesn't fit in my pockets, I don't need it. If I think I'll need my rain jacket, I'll bring it and tie it around my waist.

    Rain jackets

    My kids have Columbia lightweight rain jackets and I have one from LL bean. They are perfect for us!

    Non-buffet/AYCE dining suggestions for kids who love characters?

    Beaches and Cream and Whispering Canyon for non parks and since you are camping, I'd do Trail's End. Even though it's a buffet, it's pretty cheap for Disney. It's one of my kids faves.

    Flipbelt to avoid Bag check line

    I wear a flip belt because my running shorts don't have pockets. I have an iPhone 6 and you can't tell I have it on at all. I will, however, carry my phone through the no bag line and put it in my flip belt later. I also have a little wallet thing that I will put in my flip belt. If I wear...

    Mickey Tie-Dye Activity (Pop Century)

    We did this at SSR last June. Just FYI, our shirts shrank! My daughter never got to wear hers and my son wears mine. My kids loved making these! We will do it again this June if it is offered. But we will size up in the shirts!

    How big of a pain is a split stay?

    Last year we stayed at SSR for 7 nights and then 2 nights at CBR. I did online check in for both. Got our room number text about an hour out for SSR (we drove) and the morning of check out, I received our room number text about 7:30 am for CBR. We left SSR and drove over to CBR and went straight...

    Doing things that can be done at home?

    We go in June every year and last year we went for 10 days and this year we are going for 9 days. We usually do DS on our arrival night. We also swim every day. We take breaks from the parks every day and the kids swim while we veg out on a lounge chair! We don't do chain resturants at all while...

    Just booked Saratoga Springs through RCI

    We will be at SSR (1 bedroom) June 4-11 through RCI as well. A few years ago, we got AKL Kindani, then the next year, WL, and then last year and this year SSR. You can add dining plan up to 48 hours before arriving. About 2 weeks after making the original reservation, you will need to call...

    Character magic band question

    Here is my RunDisney band from last Feb. Not only did I wear it during the half marathon, I wore it on our 10 day trip last June. Still looks great!

    Split stay ?

    Awesome thanks! We are planning on sleeping in a little and not leaving Pop until 11. We will grab a cab to SSR, store our bags if we need to and walk over to DS for lunch. Hopefully our room will be ready before our ADR.

    Split stay ?

    This is our first time flying (we lived 6 hours closer on all previous trips). We are arriving a night earlier than our DVC rental starts and we are staying at Pop. Which is the best way to get to SSR from Pop? Should we take a cab so we can have our luggage right away (we have dinner...

    O'hans hours changed?

    Right?! Our choices are 3:50 or 9:35. I don't want either. I'm hoping a better time will open up closer to or stay.

    Animal Kingdom to Trails End

    We did this exact same thing on our Thanksgiving trip a few years back. We took the bus to FW and then took the internal bus to Trail's End. It took about an hour and a half. This year we will take a bus to Wilderness Lodge (mainly to show it to my MIL) and then boat over. Our return will be...

    To launder or not to launder?

    We always stay DVC so I do laundry. Usually, I do it mid week (most stays are 7 nights) and I always wash everything the night before we check out so I pack all clean clothes for the trip home. Then when we get home, everyone puts up their clean clothes!! I would not do laundry if we didn't stay...

    Does anyone else take their own...

    I bring shampoo, conditioner, soap, toilet paper, and beach towels. There are 4 of us and we can each easily fit 1 beach towel and a roll of TP in each of our suitcases.

    annual pass and renting dvc all the questions!

    We rent points. I take coffee and laundry pods. I just wash towels if I need to since we get a one or two bedroom and the coffee I bring is way better than anything you can get there IMO. I do buy a gallon of water from the gift shop to make my coffee. We don't do the dining plan. And if you...

    Do you have to go to resort to check-in?

    We didn't have the dining plan, but we just got back yesterday and did a split stay. We did streamline check in and I never went to the lobby at either hotel. This is a pic of the email I received. It was so nice and easy!

    Checked out today and realized right before the FL/GA line that I left my iPad on the bed. Put it in lost mode and then called CBR (call center or wherever) and they transferred me to lost and found. Well, they found it!!!! Yay!! They are shipping it to me UPS ground!! I'm so happy!
