Pop Century - Tips Please

Yes we coped without a fridge. We only really sleep in our rooms and used the refill mugs. If desperate for a cold drink or coming back late when refill station closed, we filled ice bucket up and left the drinks to cool for a while!

after getting ready in evening we used to throw beers and sodas in sink,cover with ice and over top with a towel.when back all ice cold.when we would get a styofoam cooler(think onsite hess has them not to sure)would fill up and palce in shower at top end and prick a small hole in botom to let water out so didnt have to keep removeing ice.
Always rember sil sending neice ti ice machine with an M+S bag to fill ice from ice machine on stairs.she was ages asked why so long.said everyone was getting drinks from the island.she went to drinks island in food court.so if any english there they knew she was english with bag

We pre ordered cases of water, bagels and other breakfast items delivered from Garden Grocer the past 2 years now and that's worked great for us. Along with that we ordered a Styrofoam cooler which dbf Kev kept stocked with ice for our waters and my hazelnut coffee creamer :goodvibes. Poor guy was exhausted at the end of the day tipping it out and refilling it but he did good :thumbsup2 .

I'm pretty sure the soda stations and coffee close up at midnight. They close them down one by one until the end of the night. Remember to check the one over by the old bar area in the corner by the package pick up. That one was always nice and quiet, like a best kept secret!

Hi Kerry. We're going 20/8, thanks to an heads up from Wayne we got in direct flights from Manchester for £300. Looking at staying a Pop for 9 nights & RPR for 5. Never considered in direct before but after what we went through last year, it's got to be better. Did you eat at Disney all the time and what was the food court like? (can you get toasties)?
Ok, so I know nothing about Pop, but I read this thread and remembered your toastie comment. (Love toasties too!!)

Then I saw this post on a TR I'm reading!!

Scroll down - toastie!!!

I recon most places will have them - grilled cheese sandwiches are very popular. Not sure people would understand if you asked for a toastie though.....
 
We are staying for 2 nights before moving on to Bay Lake Towers, I am really excited because I haven't stayed in ether before!

I would also like to know where the Hess is, I couldn't find out from the website!

We stayed in POP for our last visit and though it was great :cloud9: . We were in the 80/90 area and used that pool most of the time - it was generally quiet :cool1: . The food court was great with plenty of variety popcorn:: - it was very busy in the morning at breakfast time but the pancakes and cinnamon rolls were yummy. The bus service was first class with regular buses at all times :yay: . Keep looking for a fridge swap as new ones come up all the time - we had the fridge swap for most of our two week holiday which was great for keeping some supplies in. Our kids liked the arcade too and would play in there while we looked about the shop :wizard: .

Enjoy your stay there :hippie:
 
I'd avoid the tie-dye cheesecake in the food court:scared1: I like sweet stuff but this was so sweet and thick and ...well...just imagine the sweetest gooeiest dessert you've ever had and then triple it!:laughing: DBf thought it hysterical to watch me manfully plough through what suddenly appeared to be a huge portion of the stuff, whilst my teeth and tongue went all colours of the rainbow. Also, there must be a lot of colouring and sugar in it *** I was bouncing off the walls all night-especially do not have it for supper! if they still do it, I can recommend the chinese food the Food Court does in the evenings-just right for a late snack to replace all those lost calories pounding the pavements!
