POP Century ~ Unofficially the Grooviest FAQ Thread #6 ~April 2012

[KELLY]

Is anybody else having a crappy Monday. I sure wish it was August and I was checking into Pop for a week of relaxation, well as much relaxation as I can get with 4 teenage girls, two 17 year olds, one 16 year old, and one 15 year old, lol. COME ON AUGUST!

I you only knew. Should have stayed in bed this am. Not a good day at all.

So sorry Kelly! Hang in there. I HATE Mondays, but this one has been pretty icky!

I just heard that AOA and POP will start sharing busses. Anyone know if this is true? If so when? One of the main reasons I am booked here.

 

[StacyMarie]

I would like to know as this would REALLY SUCK!

Where did you hear this from? AoA will have way too many people to be sharing busses with when all the sections are open. I hope this is not true. Maybe they mean for the first couple months because the resort will not be fully operational with only some sections open?

Let us know because I will switch resorts. It will be WAY too many people. Both resorts are huge, WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE to share buses!

A friend. She said she talked to Disney and that is what they said. So I came here to the POP experts for answers.

 

[chinarider]

I just called and they verified that they WILL NOT be sharing buses.

 

[Grumpy Grandma]

I just called and they verified that they WILL NOT be sharing buses.

Thanks for checking and posting here.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I think it would be a HUGE oversight on Disney's part if they did that. Those resorts are HUGE. Every single bus would be packed to the limit and it would make guests VERY angry!!!

Thanks! I wonder what CM said that.

 

[jenseib]

I won't believe anything the CM's tell us. We'll have to wait

Disney World's Mom's panel has been answering this question for a couple of months with "yes, AOA will have it's own dedicated bus line and will not be sharing with Pop Century." I would think Disney would redirect its own Mom's panel if they were advising people wrong. I'm pretty sure they will not share buses.

I've actually seen the Moms panel post a lot of wrong info. I don't even bother reading it anymore. maybe it has gotten better.

 

[jenseib]

I am being a Pop trader in Nov. LOL! Going to try AoA this time around .I'm sure I'll wander over the bridge though

 

[StacyMarie]

I actually don't follow the Mom's panel either, I just googled it to see what I could come up with and every answer I have found has been consistently "no, they will not be sharing buses," some responses were posted within the last week and some are as old as 2 months. I need a definite answer to this as I will switch resorts to a moderate if that is the case. Pop and AOA are too huge to share buses. It will be standing room only on EVERY SINGLE BUS no matter what time of day and that will make people very, very angry!

 

[chinarider]

I had originally talked with Disney many times and with transportation to verify that the buses were going to be kept separate. That was probably around 4-6 months ago last time I double, triple checked so, today when I read otherwise, I had to call again. The gal I spoke with was very nice, checked with supervisors etc before passing the information to me.

The way I look at the possible bus sharing is if it happens it happens. Almost all the resorts if they don't share have multiple stops within the resorts. One thing to remember is that both pop and Aoa are huge resorts. Almost everytime we have gone to the 4 major parks the pop buses are packed. Unless they are instaling roof racks to hold people. I don't see it happening. I will say they may share during off peak times but only time will tell.
