Just back from POP Century

I have read in other threads that you can request that maintenance remove the fuse that operates the motion sensor part of the A/C unit.
HTH.

minnie61650-Do you know when phase 2 will be done? When we were there last week we saw there is no work going on.
If you go over the bridge on pops property. There is a building which resembles classic hall with the large numbers up. Is that going to be the classic hall(or whatever they will be calling it)?
We should of asked someone there but always forgot.

I don't have any information on when Phase 2 will be finished.
Phase 2 will be the Legendary years and will take us back to the 1900's,
10's,20's,30's,and 40's. Each decades theme will be reflected in the room decor.The rich woodgrain funiture will add to the elegance.
I am not sure but my guess is that the new hall will be called Ledgendary Hall.
Have fun at Disney!

Minnie thanks for the info about the All-Stars. Since our family is travelling with another family this trip (and includes 7 kids total...ages 3,4,5,8,10,11,13)...I think they would really get a kick out of the theming at either the pop or asmo. They seem totally geared for the kids. However, the grown-ups in the group need a resort that they can enjoy as well.
I guess I'm afraid that staying at the values might feel like I'm stuck in kiddie wonderland or something. I want to at least feel like living in grownup-ville for even a portion of this trip.
Last year we stayed at HIFS (now the Nick Hotel) off site. It was totally geared for kids. Yes we had a great time, but it was all about the kids there. The biggest thrill for DH and I was that the bedroom door had a lock on it, LOL! Otherwise it was kid everything 24/7.
I'm quite certain I'd be able to sneak away with my other mommy friend and do a gals night out for a nice dinner, spa trip or shopping sans kids...we can leave them with the DH's. That would save my sanity I'm sure. I just don't know if I can stand those giant icons looking at me, the lack of adult oriented grounds and decor, and the sheer volume of kids found at the values.....maybe I am over reacting and just some reassurance is all I need to be more comfortable with the value resorts. I think It's gonna take some time to make a final decision, lol.

Did anyone else feel this way?? Or am I just getting too carried away with the details?


Jennifer.

First off, no matter where you stay on or near Disney, there will be lots of kids...and I mean lots of kids. I honestly don't think that values have more or less kids than any other resort, just MHO. Secondly, I was in the same boat as you were, just minor differences.

We always stayed at Deluxe resort, as I feel that the only difference between Value and Mod. are the very small room size difference and having a slide at the pool. Now I know people will respond saying there is much more to a Mod vs. value, but for actual differences, those are the major ones.

We decided to stay at a value for the 1st time with the free dining package. I have to tell you, we have scheduled LOTS more activities than we would have staying at the deluxe or mod vs. value. For instance, 2 nights for kids at kids club, tea party, parasailing, boating, etc. I was leary of staying at a value for the exact same reasons you are, but the benefits of doing things I might not otherwise due because of $$ MORE than make up for whatever I might "give up" by staying at a value.

I am going to the value with a completely open mind and average expectations. I believe this trip will be much more enjoyable than years past simply because of the extra $$ saved.

Just my opinion....have fun whatever you decide~~
