POP veteran here....and we love it.
There is so much to love about POP and what negatives I have read here on the boards, have not dealt with. The only exception may be the crowded food court during meal times. But I have only experienced the best times at POP.
It is a colorful resort. Full of nostalgia, you get lost in being a kid again. We love to stay in the 70's section (as we stay preferred) because that is the decade we grew up in (that and the 80's).
Each decade is decorated to suit the "pop culture" of that time period, so it really does take you back. The music is what gets me...anytime walking out of the room in the 70's I can hear some disco, or that mellow rock...awesome!
The food court is great, plenty of variety. Have heard it has the most variety of any resort. Don't know that as a fact though.
Some perks of the food court are: you can have the cashier stamp your receipt and return within 90mins of eating for a ice cream sundae from that station. They are huge and great!!
You can get chili cheese fries as a snack credit. They have tie dye cheesecake. I could go on and on.
I also love their gift shop. Now this in my opinion is best on property. I visit all shops and none have beaten POP yet.
There are games like twister out in the courtyard, hulahoops in the front and the pools are great. 3 of them in all.
To me it is "disney". As I never got to go to WDW as a child, so when I stay at POP it takes me back to being a kid. Viola, I get to mix being a kid and being at disney. LOVE it!!
