Vicki,
I haven't stayed at Pop yet. By the time it opened I owned
DVC so there was no need. I may book that for the night before the cruise in October so I can put it on my "stayed there" list. The AP rates came out yesterday and no monorail resorts were included. YC, BC and BWI are $189 + tax and OKW and SSR are $159 + tax for studios. I booked BC for the pool and closeness to EC. There were no FL resident rates. Oh, and the rates are for 7/5 to 8/5 only.
Your December trip sounds like fun. Christmas at WDW is a sight to see, or so I here. I haven't been myself yet but will this year. I'm going to
MVMCP on December 4th, then attending the condo meeting December 5th (BWV, 9AM). I plan on doing at least 1 more than that, maybe 2 more. The best part of your trip is that you do it as a family. It helps that both of you own too. Have a great time and let me know if you want to meet.
Jeff
