We've stayed at CBR & AKL and although both are beautiful and have their special qualities, we absolutely love PC. (CBR was for our honeymoon and AKL was for our 1 year anniversary....we've stayed at POP ever since!) There are 3 different pools to choose from, the food court is great IMO, and the bus system is one of the best out of all of the properties. PC does not share busses with any other resort, so there are generally no extra stops in transit and you have a much better chance of actually getting a seat!!!! I know people like to be close to the main hall/food court, so they like to book preferred rooms. However, we don't mind the extra few feet we have to walk if it means we have a quieter room. Of course, requests are not guaranteed, but it never hurts to ask to be placed in a room with a lake view. We did this last year and I wouldn't have traded that room for anything! You are away from the hustle and bustle of the pools and it is very peaceful! When you arrive, if you are looking for something to do around the resort, just take a nice stroll. There are lots of things to see and a few fun things to try. There are fun facts about pop culture for you to read along the path as you take your walk. Lots of fun photo opportunities with oversized characters. To me, this is one of the more colorful resorts on property. The rooms are a bit smaller than those at the moderate or deluxe resorts...but, hey...if you're like us, all you do is sleep in them. When you are in the parks all day, the size of the room doesn't really matter. If it is any indication, I have a friend who is an annual pass holder and has an income that would easily allow her and her family to stay in one of the Deluxe resorts each time they visit...they go 3-5 times a year. She wouldn't trade PC for any other resort. If you ask her why, she would tell you both the bus system and the food court here easily keeps her coming back. Hope that helps! Have a magical vacation!!!!
