We stayed at POP 6/8-6/14. We actually arrived at 1:00 a.m. on 6/9. We had 2 connecting rooms reserved, and were placed in the 90s, building #9, 3rd floor, facing the parking lot. I was a little unsure about this at first, because I thought it might be noisy so near the parking lot, and knew that we would want to sleep in the next day because of arriving so late. It turned out to be a great location! Just a few minutes walk to the food court and buses, the computer pool was right by our building, and it was very quiet and peaceful. In fact my 3 teen DDs were able to sleet until 11:00 a.m. that first morning!
We ate at the food court several times, and thought there was a great selection. We especially liked the mediterranean flatbread, the philly wrap, the veggie lasagna, and of course the tye-dye cheesecake!
The buses came very frequently. The only time we had to wait more than 5 or 10 minutes, was when my DDs went to Downtown Disney one morning. They said they had to wait about 20 minutes each way.
One of my DDs and I are runners, and it was great to be able to run through the resort, and around the lake over to Art of Animation. The lake path was open all the way to AOA on the left side as you face the lake, but the right side was still closed off. It was easy to get in a 3 mile run without lots of back-tracking.
It was fun to walk around POP as well as AOA...lots of photo ops!
Overall, we had a great stay. My only complaint was the bed. I can usually sleep anywhere, and have never had back problems. For some reason, I woke up in the middle of every night with a sore back, and had a hard time getting back to sleep. The beds didn't bother anyone else in my family, though, so who knows?
