Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

[scrappinginontario]

I just tried looking up the current menus at Pop on the WDW site but the link is broken.

I tried again using my laptop and now the link to the menus works: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/en_CA/dining/pop-century-resort/everything-pop-dining/menus/

Unfortunately I don't see either of the menu items you are looking for @RaySharpton.

Hope that is helpful is seeing what current offerings at Pop are.

Thanks! We arrive on Dec 8th and I'm hoping we can get them also but am not holding my breath. They do seem to have prepared a little better than they did for the Halloween mugs though.

We arrive on the 7th - I've enjoyed following your posts on here, it would be ironic to bump into you.

I'm looking for suggestions to get the room we want (ground floor and as close to the food court/buses as possible with our standard room).

I've sent in room requests via fax and got what I wanted (at CSR), but I just asked for a specific building because I knew it was updated. On this trip we will actually be getting to the resort around 9am but not expecting a room - just dropping bags off at bell services. We will have time to look around, etc. as this is our Disney Spring day. Would it be worth it to drop by the front desk and say we don't need the room until 7pm but would like to put in a preference? I'd like them to actually get out the resort map (which I know they have) and show me options - which I feel like on past trips they have. Is this realistic? Based on their processes of room assignment, is it "too late" at this point? Should I still fax? If I do visit the desk and get a room assignment then, should I expect a "room ready text" (not that I really was, I know it's spotty but we are 3/3 over the past 3 years). Also, if we leave bags at 9am should I just ask they are delivered when the room is ready? I'm just thinking I don't want to get back at 7pm, walk past bell services to my room just to find they aren't there, and walk back down. I know bell services is slow, so should I just leave them there so when I get back from the park I at least KNOW where they are for certain?

I’ll be at pop starting the 7th too! Can’t wait!! Now if only I could figure out how to pack!

It would be fun to meet! If you happen to see us, please say 'hi!' My daughter and I are a little easier recognized as I am blonde and she has beautiful black hair! I adopted her from China so our family is a little more recognizable.

I am choosing to call in a request for the 60's and 70's section. I have Touring Plans faxing in a request for me requesting a room in the 50's section.

We arrive early also so my plan is to go to the desk (if I haven't received my room assignment which I'm guessing I won't at 10:30am) and see if anything else might be available that is ready in the area that I'd like to stay. (I'll wait if it means I would be in a building too far away from Classic Hall) I'm not sure they will provide you with your room number until your room is actually ready. Has anyone had experience with this?

If my room is not ready I will check our carry-on luggage with luggage services and pick it up on our way back. Like you I don't want to walk back later to get our bags if I don't have to. We're getting up at 2am to catch our flight to Orlando so when we get back to our room after supper I'm hoping to have it ready, be able to unpack at get to bed at a good time.

I hope this helps!

We were there in Jan of this year and I plan to pack in a similar fashion....layers. It was often cool/damp in the mornings and evenings and quite pleasant during the day. One thing I will change this trip is that I will be getting a locker if the layers become too much to carry. One day in particular that trip I carried far too much 'just in case' stuff and was pooped by the end of the day. I won't make that mistake again!

How much are the lockers?

 

[scrappinginontario]

I honestly am not sure. There are normally small lockers and larger lockers but I have not used them in years. I'm guessing somewhere between $5 and $10/day but that's purely a guess.

UPDATE: I just looked it up on the Disney website and found the following:

Small
12" x 10" x 17" $10 per day

Large
15.5" x 13" x 17" $12 per day

Jumbo (Magic Kingdom park and Epcot only)
17" x 22" x 26" $15 per day

My brother, sis-in-law, and I are arriving on the 6th and will still be there on the 8th. It's like DIS takes over Pop

Earlier this month when I stopped around 10am to opt out of hk she didn't give me the number but said the room was in bldg 2, which was 1 of my 2 request.

How do I request a room? I cant call and dont have a fax. Do they have a mail address?

There are many free online fax sites. Just Google

Why can’t you call?

 

[Experiment 629]

Why can’t you call?

Cuz it costs a fortune calling to the USA from where I live.
