New Mugs? I read a post that new mugs are coming out, and they're at Pop & AoA now. Anyone there now that can confirm and post a pic?

Yay! I hope they are stocked by November 18th!
They are showing to be at Pop now! They are sooo cute! http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2015/...rolling-out-across-walt-disney-world-resorts/

Those are adorable, I'm so ready for a new mug design as I have way too many of the old ones, LOL. Thanks for the link SPOERLX3 and for the pictures bookgirl!

Thank you for posting this! I'm hoping the values trick is in place still like @SPOERLX3 said--but I'm hoping that the dates will be later into the year too. Anyone ever have luck getting a BB for about 11 months later? I'm hoping to get back in early November '16 (helloooo W&D 1/2 marathon) !

So took a run through the food court when I got back. They had a few (like less than a dozen) of the new mugs in green.

Manager said basically they opened a box and there they were. He has no idea when they will get more or more colors.

Also I went in yesterday and found a POP fridge magnet. They were all gone today.

Thanks for all of your reports! Hope you're having a great trip!

The Disney Food Blog is reporting that new mugs are now available. However, they are trickling in at POP. The picture they have up shows very few of the new mugs mixed in with a lot of the old ones. They also said that AoA has more of the new ones available.

Hi! I have tried to sort through this thread and look at the map, and still have a question that I probably missed because it was a few days ago and now I have to make my room requests! We will have a scooter that we have to keep in our room possibly some days and DH can walk but some long days he just really needs it. We will need to take is some days and leave it others. We will have a minivan for resort days and to pick up DSS from the airport, but we will also be using the buses. I am trying to figure out if an accessible room will give us more room to keep the scooter in the room along with the four of us? I was planning on requesting downstairs near transportation, but I am thinking we might also need to ask for an accessible room? I am thinking that 70's close to Transportation downstairs might be the best option for us since it is close to buses and Handicap parking. It looks like we would have to park in the 90"s parking though. Is that acceptable if you are staying in 70's to park in 90's lot if it is closer? I know room requests are just requests, but I at least want to try. Any advice/suggestions? Thanks!

Accessible rooms are rooms that you have to book. (On the main Disneyworld .com page, to the right of the resort/dates, etc there is a box that you check to book an accessible room)
You can request one by calling and adding it to your reservation but I am not sure it would give you any more room since all POP rooms are exactly the same size and they could only give you one if there are accessible rooms that have not been booked. You might go to the website and enter your dates, check to box and see if any accessible rooms are even open. This would give you an idea of whether one may be available to request. You will see the accessible options are for hearing, visual and roll in shower. You also may be able to call and explain the situation and move your room to an accessible room. Worth a try if you decide you want one.
Whether you get an accessible room or not, there may be room for the scooter right in front of the window or if you move the table, you may could find room for the scooter there. I remember seeing alot of people parking their scooters on the side of Classic Hall closest to building 1 but I'm not sure if they were just charging them or storing them there.
Hopefully someone that has used a scooter and stored it in their room will respond.

There is actually handicap parking in every section and even though it is marked on the map as 50's, 60's, 70's etc, it is not restricted to an era, you can use any parking available.

Has anyone recently taken a taxi between Pop and Mary, Queen of the Universe (8300 Vineland Ave.Orlando, FL 32821) for Catholic Mass? I'm curious on costs..I've seen an approximate cost of $15+tip...and how to get a taxi to come back to Pop or to MK. We have 8 of us, so I'm pretty sure it would require 2 taxis, and the other huge negative is we won't have car seats! Thanks for any thoughts or info

I can't help you with costs to Mary, Queen of the Universe but during our last trip, Sept '14, we took a couple of days in the middle of our trip and went to UStudios. There were several taxi's out front of POP at all times. My hubby went to one of the taxi's and ask him the cost to take us to US on a specific day AND pick us up at US on a date 2 days later. He said $25. My husband questioned him to make sure $25 was both ways. He said yes sir. He picked us up on a Monday evening, dropped us off at US hotel and gave us his card and told us to call him 2 hours before we wanted to be picked back up. He wouldn't take any money when he dropped us off . We called him at 7am on Thursday morning, he asked us what time we wanted to be picked up, we told him we were ready whenever he was, he said he would be there at 8am and he was there! He dropped us off back at POP, we jumped on a bus to AK and still made 9am RD. We gave him the $25 + a very generous tip for being so efficient, helpful and super nice!

Hello POP-pers!

After much debate between a moderate and value, I have just booked POP for DH and I from 5/14/16 - 5/21/16. Last time we were at WDW was in 2012 (1st time for me - 4th for DH) and stayed at Coronado Springs. I had a mail discount code this time (BONUS) and to save some $ we decided to go with a value. I originally wanted ASMu, but after seeing the pictures, DH really wanted to stay at POP so here we are.

I made my reservation over the phone with an extremely nice CM. She asked me if we were celebrating anything and I told her it was for my DH and I both turning 40 next year. I also requested a room in the 70's building (not so much for the convenience - which will be great - but because we were both born in 1976), so hopefully we get that.

I have read through EVERY post on this thread and am very excited for our upcoming stay here. Now to get through the next 7 months...

That's amazing!! I'm thinking a taxi is theway to go for sure, but the ned for car seats/boosters...
