Pop Century or the All Stars

[solotraveler]

Hi all!

I'm in the process of booking my hotel for the marathon and (alas) this trip has to be on the cheap. Staying for 8 nights and was looking at the value resorts (of course).

I would love to book Pop Century, but my concern is that with everything being so new, the kinks won't be worked out yet. This is kind of a big trip for me (first marathon and all), so I would hate to have less than perfect bus service, CM attitude, etc, etc. I have had pretty positive experiences at all All Stars before, so I figure that's pretty safe.

Anyone have any experiences with visiting a resort right after opening- good or bad?? Am I being silly and overanalyzing this?? Any opinions?


Thanks,
Solotraveler

I promise to break them all in well at the Pop! We will be there the first week it's open. I think we can iron out all the kinks for you. lol Mickey

Stay at Pop and smell those truly fresh sheets. Its not everyday that you get to stay at a brand new Disney resort. Or just another option, split your stay in half and stay at both.

Very good point.... when will I have the opportunity to stay at a brand new resort less than one month after opening?! It's Disney, how bad could a couple of kinks be?? Pop it is!!

Does anyone know of a website when I can find a resort map for Pop so I can make a building request on my ressie??

Thanks, Solotraveler

We just got back from our honeymoon (All-Star Sports), and we really had an awesome time. Now of course we're already planning our trip back, but this time with a group of friends. I'd like to check out the Pop-Century Resort this time cause it sounds really funky. Does anyone know where I can find a map of the Pop-Century Resort? I've found maps for all the other resorts but I guess this one's not online yet? I'm curious about the layout and I wanna figure it out before we book there. Thanks!!!
