You were asking about the Pop room preference, right? Here are my thoughts, for what they are worth.
We were in the 70s Big Wheel right by Classic Hall the first on-site stay. It was a very good spot - just a very short walk to the bus stop if we went right out our door and to the food court and pool if we went left.
We were in the 50s Jukebox last summer. If you are standing at the bowling pin pool looking at the jukebox, we were just to the left, ground floor, right at the dancing guy's legs. Everybody liked being right at the pool, and the noise was not a factor at night. We had no problems with pool noise or foot traffic. It was also a great location in the fact that our decorated doors and windows were highly visible. Lots of people, including Disers, non-Disers, and lifeguards, came by and signed our dry erase board. It was fun coming in from the parks at night and seeing the comments and hellos.
When the boys and I went in November, we were in the 80s Roger Rabbit. You could see the Welcome to Disney arch on the main street if you went out our door and just to the right.
We are all young enough and healthy enough that the walking to the room is just not that big of a deal. Even with my cut-up lame leg, it's really no more than a couple of minutes to walk anywhere around. For going back and forth to the food court, yes, it is nice to be close, but again, really not a huge deal to walk even from the farthest spot, as far as I am concerned. I walk the whole place about every morning, anyway, on my picture-taking excursions.
If I were going to choose a perfect place, I'd say that the 70s Big Wheel or 50s Lady buildings are most convenient. If you want to be where the action is, get a 60s room on either side facing the pool. If you want quiet, ask for lakeside. It all just depends on what you want for your group. We have thought about requesting 60's non-preferred this time so that Jill can get to the kiddie pool with Brooklynn a little easier, but 60s non-preferred may be hard to come by. Trent wants the bowling pin poolside area again. I want to stay in a different building, so we can try everything from all angles, so I really don't care where we are. I hope we can get connecting rooms, but if we don't, we're fine with that, too. As you can see, I'm not picky about where I am when I am in Disney World.
I asked him if he'd been to the Disboards, and he didn't even know what it was. 
How can you go if you haven't been here to learn all about it. 
Anyway, he's excited and promised to show me the pictures when he gets back so that's something else I can look forward to.
We stayed in the 80's building by Roger Rabbit but we were facing the parking lot. We really liked the location except for when you'd get back late at night and knew you still had to walk 5-10 minutes to your room. I appreciate all your help.
Anyway, it's always great to find someone else that will be there at the same time we are and this board is a great place to get lots of good information, plus just to receive some of the magic 
that makes the wait bearable (but just barely)
But that usually makes the time go faster, which means the 9 1/2 weeks til Disney should pass really fast. 
Man that's quite a letdown after the Disney excitement.
