Resort Thread Disney's POP CENTURY Resort

So true!

On the face of it,it would seem impossible to prefer Pop and the other Values over a Deluxe stay,but for us and many others it is ABSOLUTELY true!

The total Disney immersion the Values provide is awesome and the there is nothing "motel 6 like" at the Values like is sometimes implied.

We enjoy our time at Pop just as much as our time in the Parks!

Yes, I find the "motel 6" statement so ridiculous. Only at WDW do we actually prefer our room door open to the outside and not have a hallway.

This is a big reason I keep coming back to PoP (even after nearly 10 years as a DVC member staying in a 1br or 2br). I love booking preferred pool view and requesting first floor for easy access to Petals and the pool. At worst, I'm taking a few stairs. It's hard to find somewhere else to stay that gives me that that kind of guaranteed access to my two favorite non-park amenitites.

Absolutely!

Some folks don't like being right at a Pool,but I love it!

Put me right in the middle of the action please!

We stayed in a 2nd floor Preferred Pool View room in May and loved it!! I was worried about the noise, as we had a one year old with us, but we heard *nothing* once the door to the room was closed! And it was so close to the Skyliner & food court.

Highly recommend!

I returned before Christmas from a 2 week stay at pop and wanted to check-in about a couple of things i I discovered. It had been over 2 and a 1/2 years since I was there. But I always choose preferred pool view and ask for the 1st floor and I really lucked out this time. 4 rooms down from the laundry room! I popped over to the 24 hour beverage station, at least twice a day, and I will say that they did not change anything about that in the renovation. I had housekeeping every other day and that worked out perfectly. I did try to use hey Disney to request a luggage stand and they said they would bring me one, but they never did. I never used it for anything after that. I had treats delivered from a former cast member, and they were placed in my room while I was out. The biggest surprise was that I had to have all of my magic bands scanned by a cast member and connected to my door which I do not remember ever having to do before. I was glad my room was close because I had to walk back and get all 8 of them. And she seemed surprised that I had so many, but I've traveled often when they were free. I like them to match my outfit, so I wasn't sure which ones I would use. My phone did unlock the door but I wanted the magic bands to do it too. I never ordered food there because I was out every day from rope drop to close except for the last day when I used my leftover dining credits to buy a family's meals. That was fun, and I felt like Santa Claus.

Groovy!

Staying steps away from Petals,Classic Hall,etc. is a trip GAME CHANGER!
