Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

Is the bus transportation to MK more reliable now in the morning?

Sorry, more reliable than when?

I have stayed at Pop a number of times and never had a problem with bus transportation to MK. Sometimes the lines are long at park opening but that's just reality when many people want to go to the park at the same time. Sometimes buses come back to back to back and other times there can be a bit of a wait but I've found Disney's 20 min between buses to be met especially at park opening. It's rare that we wait long for a bus to arrive starting about an hour before park opening right now. That being said, if you wish to arrive in time for rope drop it is recommended you start lining up about 90 mins before park opening.

Hope this helps.

Anyone at Pop now and can look at what mattress they use? We just left there and the mattress was so comfortable and I'm kicking myself for not looking under the sheets for the specs on it.

This is from another post we had as the rooms were being renovated. Hope this helps.

Here's a photo of the mattress type we had in 6156, on both beds: Posturepedic Sayer Prolux Ltd. Plush Pillowtop.

We'll be at Pop Century 2 weeks from today! I've tried searching on the boards for the answer to this question, but I must not be searching the right way. Anyway, here's what I'm wondering... the QS food court at Pop opens for breakfast at 7 am. If I want to pick up my breakfast at, let's say, 7:15 am, starting at what time can I submit my mobile order? Is it at 6 am? Or any time after midnight?

Thanks in advance for the help!

We were just there this last week and did a mobile breakfast order one morning before 7am. We ordered around 6:45 in the app and selected a pick up window of 7 - 7:15. We were seated and eating by 7:05 and out to the bus stop to meet our group at 7:30 for AK that day! Just be watching for the notification to let you tap "I'm here - prepare my food" - I think it became available around 6:55ish.

We’re staying at Pop for Spring Break! We were supposed to be at All Star Movies, but they postponed the opening. So Disney moved us over to Pop. This was our first choice, but we decided to save some extra money. Now we get to stay next to the Skyliner, without the extra cost! Our trips last year were all canceled, so we are hoping this trip actually takes place. After missing an entire year of Disney, I’m looking forward to getting back!

WOW THANKS!

We are saving a lot for our trip starting Saturday versus the Passholder rate and we even got an extra 6 % off with a Hotwire code!

Lots of extra FUN MONEY!

This is the first time we have tried this-I have to admit I was very nervous until the confetti came down and they revealed it was Pop Century!lol

Do these offers for POP happen frequently?

Can I schedule Magical Express with the Hotwire Confirmation # or will I need to obtain the 12 digit Disney #?

Thanks again.

In the confirmation email you have received from Hotwire, there is a hotel confirmation # towards the bottom of the email. You will use that to link to MDE and also submit the ME information for your arrival and departure (if necessary).

I don't think these deals happen frequently unless they have a decent amount of rooms they are looking to fill and get revenue for.

Everything is exactly the same you just paid less..
The disney conf number should be on the res sometimes takes a couple of hours. If you already have a reservation just call disney and they will cancel and move your tickets over.
I get these kind of deals on every trip .. in October it was 118 for pop and 135 for coranado. Last year it was 85 for ASM. Watch/ follow the priceline hotwire thread.
If you are nervous you can buy one day and then extend your trip in the app

Check out this thread: https://www.disboards.com/threads/priceline-express-deals.3598657/page-335#post-62586217

There aren’t always deals but it’s a great resource to find out when there are.

Going to Pop in mid-February and completed the online check in on MDE. I didn't fill anything in where it asks if you have any celebrations. Now I would like to add something to celebrate and I can't seem to find the spot to fill it in when I went back to the check in section. Do I need to call now, or am I not looking in the right place? Thank you! *If this is not posted in the correct forum, I apologize!

Not specifically Pop related but will affect some Pop guests as of Jan 1, 2022

Another announcement that will affect Pop guests starting later this year. Extra Magic Hours being replaced with 30 min. early entry for all Disney resort guests to all 4 parks, 7 days a week. It appears Evening Extra Magic Hours will not be returning although that is open to interpretation.

I'm working on the new Pop thread and have a question about the kiddie splash pad.

Is there a lifeguard at the splashpad? I'm guessing 'no' but want to publish accurate information so thought I'd ask from those who may have used the splashpad recently.

Hopefully the rail service will be working by then..
I live in south Florida and the high speed rail between here in Orlando will be... not sure on the one from mco to DS

The MCO portion isn’t rumoured to open until late 2023 at this time which leaves an 18 month gap between DME ending and the high speed train.

There was not a lifeguard at the splash pad when I was there in November.

The only time the Splash Pad/Kiddie Pool was Lifeguarded was when Hippy Dippy was down for Refurb and there were "extra" Lifeguards.

Not only will it not be up and running until 2023, but it won't be a constant shuttle service like DME. The rail line will have runs at scheduled times throughout the day. Those times may or may not coordinate with someone's flight arrival and departure which means if someone is relying on the rail line for transportation to and from MCO, they could have to wait for an hour or two to actually head to Disney or arrive back at the airport a few hours before their flight (depending on what the scheduling is like). Also, it's only going to drop passengers at DS, not at Pop (or any other resort) so unless Disney starts running shuttles from the rail station to the resorts, guests will still have to get a taxi/uber/lyft to Pop Century because Disney doesn't allow luggage on their resort/park transportation buses.
