In December 2009, we went with our DD, DSIL, and DGD4. They stayed in one room at Pop and we had the connecting room. It was just a quick, cheap trip under the free dining, and I had totally NO expectations about POP, just figured it was a cheap room for the nights. And maybe the no expectation thing helped, because as it turned out we unexpectedly LOVED POP. We had no problems with noise, we stayed on the 4th floor of the 50's bldg so it was close to the food court, found everything was fine for us. No problems with the bed or with storage. Room a little small, but it didn't matter because we didn't spend that much time in there. Never waited very long for a bus.
When I talked my DH into going back to WDW for our 40th anniversary in April (just the two of us!), I decided to book POR for a different experience. (The money wasn't as much of an issue as it was going with the younger family). As it turned out, after hiking three times from our room in Alligator Bayou to the Food Court, DH turned to me and asked "And tell me why we didn't we stay at POP again?" Sigh........ and I had much higher expectations for POR since many of the board folks just LOVE it. But it wasn't our cup of tea, as it turned out. Hard to believe.......
