I thought you could not make adrs until 90 days out??

That was changed. It was like that in 2009 and I don't think it was long after my Oct trip it went again to 180 days

It's here, it's here!!! Finally the day has come!! We are leaving tomorrow morning and soon I will be "home" again!! Can't wait and I know I won't be able to sleep tonight!! LOL

I wanted to hit the LIKE button on this. It's so fun to share in the excitement as others head out. Hope you are having a blast!

Heading over for a quick stay tonight. Happy to take any pictures or answer any questions! My kids love POP so we decided to spend a night as a reward from my girls getting great report cards.

Very nice to be close enough to do quickie trips!

What LauraJean said, it is 180 days. And if you stay at a Disney Resort you can make your ADRs at 180 + 10 days. You don't have to keep calling back each day to make your ADR for that day of your trip. Just call on your 180th day and get all your ADRs made for the length of your entire trip but only up to 10 days. If your trip is longer you'll have to call back for those extra days.

We have generally stayed at All-Star Music when we re only going to be at Disney for a few days. But, several people lately have told me how much better Pop Century was. Can anyone tell me the the differences between the two other than Pop Century is newer?

Another difference to keep in mind is that they are separating the pricing on the room rates between the All-Star resorts and Pop Century (and between Pop and AoA Little Mermaid). Generally the room rates are now $10 more per night at Pop when you compare standard to standard, preferred to preferred.

Hi Becky! You can call to add a request to your reservation now, if you wish. You can also wait and enter requests when you do online check-in. At that time, you may request a particular decade, Lakeview, ground floor, or something else that I'm not remembering. Online, you can choose up to two requests. I love Lakeview rooms as I find they are quieter. We've been assigned to the 1950s and 1970s for Lakeview and liked both. Take a look at the property map and see if anything appeals to you We've also gone to pop with no requests and were happy with our room assignment. If you're okay going with the flow, there is nothing wrong with that.

!!!
Brewed coffee only, or espresso drinks as well? Sounds like I can pack fewer coffee-in-a-can!

Is the Nescafé still being served or has it been replaced by Joffrey's? Just curious about using the refillable mug....
Thanks

I expect that when the Joffrey's shows up, ultimately the Nescafé is gone from that location, although I'm not sure what the PP is saying about trying them side by side. Maybe they have a mix of machines during the transition.

For the long term I think you'd be filling your mug with Joffrey's.

Hello POP friends! My family will be at POP May 2nd-9th. Definitely excited - we haven't stayed on-site since a trip to All-Star Sports in April of 1995.

Maybe I'll catch some of you over by Petals!
