My family and I returned this weekend from a 5day stay at Pop Century, first stay there (second Disney trip). I think the resort was nice, the room was clean, no complaints with mousekeeping. We only used the foodcourt for the refillable mugs. The bus situation was generally unpleasant. At just about any time of the day and for any park we were going to the line was extremely long. Which made waiting in the debilitating, scorching hot sun even more unbearable. We either waited for a second bus, or barely got on the first one having to stand most times either way. The wait was most times 20mins leaving the resort and returning, only twice did they have two buses at the same time at the same location, which was good. The resort was very close to Epcot and like 5mins to MGM. A bit of a ride to Animal/Magic Kingdom, but not bad, aside from the wait for the wheelchairs/ECVs or people in general, not worse than if you drove yourself.
The walls were a bit thin, maybe the same at Sports, but I just don't recall being as privy to the conversations of others then, as I was this time.
It was nice having a lake view, and the kiddie pool was good for my children as neither of them can swim and I did not have to worry about them going deep or losing track of them with all of the people there using the larger pool.
Overall we had a great time, but I am not sure I will stay there again, at least anytime soon. My DH was extremely impressed with AKL during our visit there for dinner, so I may just have to start saving my $$$ for that tab, upon our next visit, perhaps in a year or two.
FYI
For those interested, the ICEE (frozen coke) machine was working during our entire trip, that was my usual drink of choice there, I preferred the blue one. I hope some/all of this info is helpful to someone.
