Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

[howedaniel]

No bus boards are in place yet. I see the spot where I think it will be, but it's empty.

are those the screens that tell you how long until the next bus arrives?

Yes, sounds like they are still not finished. Wonder why it has taken so long to get these up at Pop? Kind of crazy.

Did they put out a new map for Disney Springs yet? I cant seem to find one. I can only find the old one. Also, I remember hearing about some changes with the Quick Service and the Snacks. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

These would be a welcome addition to the transportation...good on Disney!

Is pop ever part of the free dining offer?

Yes, Pop is normally one of the resorts included in the free dining deal.

Thank you. We are hoping to get FD. I'm tempted to go go ahead and book our trip because although FD is an incentive it is not going to change our trip or dates if we don't get it.
I'm thinking I'll book and call to apply the dining if/when it comes out...
If it's that simple...

There are a limited number of rooms allotted to FD and you can add it as long as the room type you originally book is included in the promotion. If not, you'll have to cancel your current reservation and rebook. FD is always part of a package deal in which you must purchase a minimum number of park tickets (last year you also had to purchase the park hopper or water park option) and pay full rack rate for the room. Also be aware that it's the Quick Service dining plan included at the Value resorts. You can get the regular DP if you want it, by paying the difference between the two plans.

Thank you! Does anyone know what room type at Pop is included? We normally do the preferred pool view

It all depends on which room type they have a surplus of. But Standard rooms are usually excluded or very few are included in the discount.

Is there a map of where King beds with bathtubs are in the resort. We booked a preferred room but have a toddler who sleeps with us so would like a king size bed

Not that I know of. But if you want a King bed then make that your only room request. If your child will be 3 or older you won't be able to get a king as the max occupancy for a king room is 2 and 1 child under 3 yrs. old.

There are only 6 rooms per building that are kings with a tub. They are rooms 03 and 22 on floors 1,2 and 3. They are right beside the building icon, one on the front and one on the back. They are also connecting to the room next door. In the 50's building 1&3, 60's and 70's half of the king rooms are preferred.

correction.... In 60's building 4 one of those rooms is preferred pool view per floor. Building 1 has one preferred kingw/tub and one preferred pool view per floor.

Here's the map with the king bed and accessible room locations. As noted above, it's going to be tough to get a regular king bed room.

Based on this, my info was close but shows even fewer king w/tub rooms than I thought. None in the 50's that are preferred, only 1 room in the 60's that is preferred and 2 in the 70's that are preferred.

@1sttimedisneymama I think you had better formulate your back up plan because out of nearly 3000 rooms there are only 3 that fit want you want.

 

[1sttimedisneymama]

Yeah I need to discuss this with our TA. All of them have connected doors too which we don't like

Given the choice I prefer to not have that connecting door but approx half of all the rooms at POP have the connector.

 

[1sttimedisneymama]

Maybe we should request that instead and not worry about the king size bed

I had a "Pop Century Moment" today when "The Hustle" came on the radio!

 

[1sttimedisneymama]

We got rid of our preferred and went to standard room and asked for a King in the 50,60,70s buildings. We really don't want to be in the 80s or 90s
