Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

[Sue M]

I have no idea, sorry, but I once bought laundry detergent sheets for travel. They worked great.

I have been looking for these, but haven't seen them. I usually take pods or pre-measured powder. Recently, I filled an empty, cleaned out body wash container with the liquid for our road trip.

Those Purex sheets were great for travel. Too bad they discontinued them. Prob when pods came out they figured they were easily packable.

Question... Toy Story Land opens Oct 2018. we might book a long weekend at Pop now for November 2018. If we do, it would be a room and ticket package. If we had to cancel, will everything get refunded? I've been reading that tickets are nonrefundable so I'm not sure about booking. Thanks!

Pretty sure they said tonight at D23 that TSL is opening next summer.

Why not just book the room so you have it, then later add the tickets when you are sure?

I was just going to ask about that -- I haven't had a chance to read up on today's announcements at D23 yet. A few weeks ago "experts" on another board were looking at current aerial photos of the progress of TSL and estimated it would be open by Memorial Day. I was wondering if they made a formal announcement about October.

Oh shoot thank you for correcting that! I read an article from last summer. I didn't realize they had more current news on when it was opening.

I would book for next summer but we're going on first week in March so we wouldn't have enough time to save to go by summertime open. Thinking about it now, we will just miss Toy Story Land opening by week (just like Pandora this year) and since Star Wars Land is opening in 2019, we might as well just book after Star Wars Land opens to get both of the new parks.

I think if you do a "package" the entire package is refundable. I'm pretty sure it's only when you purchase the hotel and tickets a la carte (separate items, whether added to the same cart and purchased in one transaction, or purchased in different transactions) that the tickets are non-refundable. You just have to cancel before a certain time. 30 days? Please verify before you make any purchase. Note that packages are treated differently than a la carte purchases. Not sure why, because usually there's no discount doing them as a package.

I agree -- I believe as long as you've booked a package there is no penalty for cancelling as long as you do it X number of days before arrival. I don't remember what that number is anymore...might be 30 days, might be 14, might be 2. We always book a package and I always ask our TA what the "cancel with no penalty date" is when we book.

Anyone there now know how the tour groups are affecting Pop? (lines for buses, breakfast time at foodcourt, pool?) TY!

Ditto, and if they will be around first week of August?

 

[MidgeD79]

We were there from 6/24 - 7/8 2017 and the only time a tour group interfered with us at Pop Century was at the food court about 9:30 PM when only one station was opened and they ran there from the bus. No big groups at the pools, no chanting etc. Now the parks were another story.....

 

[minmaui]

When are the groups gone? If I book Aug. 31 - Sept. 5 are there any groups still there? Also will it be extra busy cause of Labor Day?

 

[WEDWDW]

If I book Aug. 31 - Sept. 5 are there any groups still there?

The 15s will all be back in school by then(outside of a possible "isolated" group or 2).

Their big months are July/January/February.

There will probably be a few groups,but shouldn't be anything like July.

Ohh when in February?! We're going Last week of Feb. We were there this Feb and weren't bothered by them. The cheer groups on the other hand... forget about it.

Thanks for your reply.

Hello, I've stayed at some of the other resorts but never at Pop Century. I am thinking of going early June 2018 and I have a couple of questions I'm hoping some of you can help me with:
1) Can you get a cot for your room at this resort?
2) Are there any groups that stay here in early June that I may want to avoid?
I will be going with my Mom (79), my son's mother in law, and then my son and his wife will have another room. I love POFQ and may end up there, but I was thinking this may be a more economical option and I have always heard great things about POP.
Thank you.

Has anyone been able to get the current discount for the week of Thanksgiving? I can get it for one night only in a preferred pool view room (we will never stay in one of those again! Way too much noise for us to sleep well). I'm not able to get the discount for a standard room for our dates. Is it worth giving up my morning plans and calling?

1. No
2. Not sure

Thank you.
