Resort Thread Disney's POP CENTURY Resort

[rhenkt]

The Pop Century character schedule has recently been in the lobby on Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday from 11:30am to 12:20pm.

I'm not sure this is the character meets that were announced recently for the summer promo. It's the character caravan that has been going on for months/years.

The specific time Character meets in the resort lobby have only been going on for a few months (maybe since the beginning of the year). They definitely weren't happening (outside the random surprise ones) when we were there last June or any other year we've been there. I've read on other message boards and blogs that these existing scheduled meets at resorts are what Disney is referring to in the Cool Kids Summer promo, they just simply started earlier than the actual promotion (probably a test run).

That would be pretty lame if something they announced as part of a new promo has already been going on for several months. But maybe that's the case.

Possibly the announcement is to alert those who aren’t aware it’s happening? We have stayed at Pop many times since the resort opened and I have never seen a character at Pop. Hoping to change that this year!!

We are 37 days out from POP. I can't believe how fast it's creeping up

Yup, it is lame to treat it as some new limited time thing even though it’s been going of for months- but that’s what Disney did.

Room request help! I’m booked Preferred (non-pool). My hope is for a shorter walk to buses and food court. What should my request be?

Be careful. I was once pixie dusted from standard to preferred and ended up feet from the Bell Hop area. NON STOP noise. More like a downgrade from what I had requested lake view.

All of the preferred rooms are a shorter walk. There is a map of the resort on page 1 that shows preferred rooms, identified by yellow lines. I’d probably request building 4 or 5 but those are not necessarily the closest to buses.
