Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

Thanks for your quick reply @Disneylover99 ! I know things change daily at Disney so anything new while we're there we'll be quick to report. 2 years ago they changed the refillable mugs while we were there to the new colours and the RFID chips for refills. Last year it was the flooring being updated from carpet to vinyl in the food court. I love to watch for the changes.

Just read that next year the luggage tags are going to reflect the colour of MB requested. That will be fun!

This is actually starting on 9/29/15!
Look how cute!!! The color of your magic band is the background color on the luggage tag!

I love the luggage tags! Ironically, not a single person in my family would have gotten their favorite, or even second favorite character if they had sent them out that way on our last trip, however. I think on my next trip, I'll choose my magic band by the luggage tag instead of the other way around! We decorate our bands, anyway.

On another note, does anyone have any info. about the new menu at POP? Not the 2013 new one, a recent change. Josh from easywdw.com has been referencing it on twitter and it's on the official website. Personally, I did not like the changes back in 2013 but what I saw on Disney's site looks to be an improvement.

I apologize if this has been discussed already. I haven't been following the thread since the switch to the new format on the DIS and am just joining back in.

I love POP! :flower1:

We're at Pop now. I did not like the changes back in 2013 either. But the menu has really improved! They have a new selection of burgers. We had the Italian burger, the Picnic burger and the Oscar burger so far. We didn't love the Oscar, but the other two burgers were so yummy!

So glad to hear this! We ended up staying at CSR on our last vacation due to the free dining promo. (LOVED the resort!) But, POP is my favorite value and I am sure we'll be back at some point. We usually end up eating a fair amount of meals at our resort, so the menu is important to us. :-)

I bet there are a lot of changes going on in the magic band department!
I chose red and I love the Minnie Mouse so I am keeping mine.
My hubby chose blue and loves Mickey so he was going to change to yellow but DD chose yellow and wanted the grey luggage tag, so he changed his MB to grey and they are going to trade luggage tags so it worked perfect. My DSnL got orange and loves the Pluto luggage tag and DGD and her DBFF both chose pink so we will see if they decide to change to something different.
I'm excited to try some of the new foods. Maybe someone will take pictures of the menu boards and post them for us. HINT, HINT disneylover99 :goodvibes

Well crap. I was getting a specific color because of a skin I bought to reflect fall/Halloween. But normally I despise orange or yellow was only going fall as a lark. I want the gray or blue tag. Now I have to decide to go for a tag I like or a band that matches a theme.

Thanks for the report on the menu changes! I looked at the new menu on the app, but didn't see any cupcakes listed. Do they still have the King cupcake? We are looking forward to trying this in December.

Yes! It was my husband's birthday two days ago, so we put a candle in the King cupcake and sang happy birthday (cause, of course he thinks he's the king :rotfl:). It's really delicious and not too sweet.

They used to be located behind the counter where the icecream is, but now they're in the self serve bakery case and I don't think it's actually labelled as the King cupcake, but it has a white chocolate musical symbol on top.

I think the grey would be Halloweenish. But then again, I LOVE the orange pluto one and the yellow Mickey! The only one that I don't think I like too much is the green Goofy. That is my DGS favorite character but for some reason, it just doesn't capture his personality like the others. Just my opinion :rolleyes:

Awesome! Happy Birthday to your DH! We can't wait to try it! My niece is bacon crazy so she is really excited for a cupcake with bacon! I'm anxious to try the peanut butter frosting. Love that it's not to sweet! :thumbsup2
 
Aw I want the gray tag, but the red band.

#firstworldproblems :rolleyes1

so if you have more bags than people, how do you get the additional bags on DME? Hopefully this is a hypothetical, but travelling with 2 kids and one in diapers I need to be prepared.

These tags are not for DME - you'll get separate yellow tags for that. If you think you'll have more bags than people, just call up DME and ask for more tags - they'll send you another set.

The plastic tags are a souvenir. DME uses yellow sticky labels and you get one per person (over 3) on the reservation. I am solo so I will get 1 plastic colored souvenir tag and 1 yellow DME sticky tab.

If you need more yellow tags you can call and request them. I was traveling with my mom a few years ago and between us we had 3 bags for DME. I just called before hand and they sent out an extra couple of tags. However they will not send out extra plastic souvenir tags. LOL I had to ask, but it was a definite no.

Ohhh! That makes sense, thank you for the quick response :)
 
Looking for suggestions regarding room requests. Which do you prefer at POP - 1st floor or Highest Level? We have older kids (16 and 13) and don't have any medical need for a 1st floor so we were just wondering what the consensus is and why? We will be in the parks for fireworks so having a fireworks view is not important to us. BTW, we booked a standard room if that helps at all.

Thanks for your input :)

p.s. LOVE the new luggage tags!

Personally, I have always requested a 4th floor room and out of our 8 trips to POP, we have gotten a 4th floor room 50% of the time. We have been on the 2nd floor twice and the 3rd floor once and last year we got a ground floor. I'm not going to lie, I did not want a ground floor (or at least I thought :rotfl:). Our most important request was connecting rooms and when we got those, I was happy. We actually ended up loving the ground floor room for the convenience of it. I have ended up loving every room that we have had for different reasons however the last 2 trips we were in building 2 and that can be a pretty long trek back to the room after a long day in the park. The posts that I have read from guests that don't like a ground floor room is due to extra foot noise from guests passing by and easy access for critters into the rooms from the landscape. Most of the guests that like a 4th floor room is for the quiet level with no one above them and the ability to get a beautiful view of the resort/lake/landscape and possibly fireworks. There are definitely pro's and con's to both. I like them both so I am no help at all and I always go with the understanding that even if I do add a floor request or an era to my room request, there is only a 50/50 chance I will get what I thought I wanted. The great thing is, it always surprises me when I get a room that I thought I didn't want and end up loving it no matter where it is located! :goodvibes
Hopefully you can get some other inputs that will help you a little more! Either way, have a great trip!
