We have stayed at Pop once, May 2009. The lines were very short I thought. We never waited more then 15 min for a bus at the hotel. I think at Epcot we waited 20 min for a bus, but that is the longest wait we had.
Now I have stayed at Boardwalk twice Nov 03 and May 08. And I hate the busses there. We have waited an hour and half for a bus to DTD and one of the water parks. We keep calling the dispatch place, but it took for ever. From what we could tell Boardwalk was the last hotel on the loop and the loop had 5 hotels on it. In fact one day we ate breakfast at Beach Club, caught the bus there, which was the 4 hotel on the loop. The bus was full, DH and I were standing at the front of the bus and I listen to hear if the driver called anyone to say he wasn't going to Boardwalk and he didn't call. I also watch to see if he could text, key something in to tell dispatch(not know how they communicate) and i saw nothing. So I think busses get to full and if they don't get called in guest are left waiting.
From what I have read on line buses can be good and bad at each hotel. What I think helps Pop to be better IMO is its normally the only hotel on the bus loop.
Im sure this could change and may not be the case every bus ride. But for us it was great last time. We like Pop themeing, its a good value and frankly its a cheer place. Thats why we choose it. I would choose Pop over Boardwalk any day. And Boardwalk is special to me, since that is where we spent out honeymoon. We also had problems with the boats so, for us Boardwalk isn't worth it anymore. Which is sad.
but our tentative dates are August 21-28
so he would rather try a mod...
think I may call tomorrow and speak to a supervisor or something... still happy though
