Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

[ksueboo]

My daughter has a couple of online classes she needs to connect to while we are at Pop one day. Is the WiFi dependable/strong enough for her to sit either in our room or at an outdoor table and do her class?

I have a transportation question. The only time I have stayed at Pop I had a car so didn't use any of the Disney transportation. My DD and her friend are staying at Pop the end of this week and will not have transportation. I understand that MK and AK there is a bus. HS must use the Skyliner. What about Epcot? Is there a bus and/or skyliner? I have also seen a few comments about using the busses at AOA. Do they have a bus to HS and Epcot? How far is the walk from AOA to Pop? A lot of questions. Thanks for any info.

HS and Epcot are Skyliner or, they can walk across Generation Gap bridge and take a bus to either park from Art of Animation. Walk is reasonable (about 5 mins from Skyliner) to AoA buses.

It should be. My daughter had some classes and one day and had no problem connecting to attend them.

Thanks for the information. I will let DD know.

If she is at Epcot or DHS at Park Close,bus to AoA and walk to POP will be the much faster option than Skyliner.

Because of the Social Distanced Gondolas now in effect,Skyliner,quite frankly,is a mess at Park Close.

Also,tell DD that Skyliner has been starting about 30 minutes before the "advertised" time if she wants to be among the first to get to DHS.

It started loading at 7:32 AM today and they opened DHS at 8:05 AM.

Really surprising to see the numbers of South Americans staying here at POP.

January historically has always been a big month for South Americans to vacation at WDW,but we expected a big effect in travel from Covid.

It is all families-none of the Famous Fifteens!lol

Also we saw the Caricature Artist back the other day-he was setup outside of Classic Hall and not in the normal inside spot.

Arriving to POP in a few weeks, decided on a rental car this trip- what's the best grocery stop nearest POP coming from MCO?

Both of my kids had to attend class online during our 7 day stay in December. The wifi was very dependable and neither had any issues connecting.

If we need to order something gluten free I assume we don’t mobile order but just go to the food court and find a cast member? For instance Pot roast with no gravy or cheeseburger with no bun? I don’t see where I can ask for that in mobile ordering.

Yes, this is correct. Speak to the CM at the entrance and they will direct you to a CM inside to order there.

Since we got here Saturday,we had been noticing Skyliner was really "screeching" coming in and out of PopArt Station.

Now we are hearing that the PopArt line will be down on Sunday for maintenance.

Will try to get some more info.

For those of you there now, are you swimming? I see 50 degree starts and 70 degree afternoons. I know the pool is heated but didn’t know if it was truly warm enough for a swim.

If I was there, I’d go for a swim. But I’m a hot tub lover and heated pools in the cold kind of make me feel like I’m hot tubbiin. Lol.

The good thing about cooler temperatures is that it clears out the pool.

There have been Guests in the Pools every day we have been here.

We have taken a hard pass however!lol

You just want to make sure you go to the pool closest to your room, so when you get out, you can quickly get to your hot shower.
