We stayed at Pop Century from Dec 1-8. Pretty decent hotel and I couldn't justfiy spending more money to upgrade as we were gone 14-16 hours/day. It offered all the amenities we could have asked for and if we go back in 4 years, we may upgrade to the suite just because we'll need it with 2 adults and 3 kids.
Before we left, I read about the importance of the afternoon naps to help out our little ones, ages 3 & 4(almost 5). We tried it the first 2 days and gave up after that as we lost 4+ hours each day by the time we left the park, got on the bus, got back to the room, and then give them time to wind down for a nap, and then go back to the park. My recommendation is if you can endure getting the little ones to nap while riding in a stroller or on a train while riding around the park for a while, you're better off doing that. Has anyone else experienced the same results we did?
There's nothing more comical than seeing your 2 little girls so worn out that on the way to the bus falling asleep and asking if they want to go to another park to go on rides or go swimming at the hotel. After 8 days though, I know were were ready to come home in the sense that I sure didn't want to have to take 2 strollers on and off the bus every time in addition to what seemed like 10 miles of walking every day.
