What building/area should we try to request that will be closest to the dining area at Pop? We have preferred room.....do we need to upgrade to get preferred pool view? We want the closest possible to Classic Hall if we can.
What time do they start serving Breakfast at Everything POP. I see it opens up at 6am, but are they ready to serve Breakfast??, or just open for Coffee and counter/cold Items. I have some Golf tee times plan and would like to grab some before going to golf.
We have always stayed in the 50's because it is super close to the main building. But we have walked to each section and just love the resort. I am a hotel snob because I grew up with parents that both worked in Hilton and Sheraton hotels, so when we first booked POP in 2011 I was terrified, however the info that Janet and others have provided helped..... Then we got there and while it is not a deluxe hotel, it's Disney and the resort is super Disney and we fell in love with it.
My DD and I are staying the Swan next month and while I am super excited to be going to Disney and being able to walk to Epcot and HS I am going to miss Pop.
And the food court...... I can't say enough about the food court, we have been before I found out I have celiacs and after and we just love the food and the chefs. After going gluten free again I was scared about eating, but I walked in and asked for the chef he came out and asked what I wanted to eat, I said what can I have, he said what do you want..... I didn't realize he could make me almost anything gluten free. We went back to Pop to eat most meals last year, that is how good they were to me. They made me some really cool things, it got to the point I would just say fix what ever you want, it's all so good I will eat it. And they always made my plates so pretty, as if I was in a sit down.
Sorry to go on, but I really can't say enough good things about Pop, we just love it. I feel bad for people who pay for deluxe resorts at Disney! Lol
I'm really impressed about your food court experience....This will be my first time staying at POP and I have food allergies to peanut,tree nut and shellfish....it really eases my mind to hear how accommodating they were to you regarding your meals
3 days until we check into POP for the first time!!!!
I am super excited. While we have done WDW before we have not stayed at POP or gone in May!
Just mother/daughter trip....woo hoo
Getting so close!!! We arrive on Wednesday. And out first time at Pop :dance:
Hoping our room is ready when we arrive via ME around 1230ish! But more so, anyone have success with late checkout?? When we leave may 22, our flight isn't til 745pm. I'm guessing ME around 430? Hoping we can have our room for a few hours extra!!!
Your chances are better for a late check out if you request it at check in.good luck
have a great trip..

I just convinced my wife to take a half day! Yay! The original plan was to take her and pick her up from work, then head to POP on the 24th friday.. She said the earliest she could have got off work would be 3:20ish, then grab our stuff from our house and head 2 hrs to POP, potentially arriving at POP before 7. I factor rush hour traffic when driving after she gets off work. I wonder if I should test my luck and ask her to take it off. She's a teacher so I'm sure she has some personal days since she never uses them!
Our first day/night is never a park day. Since our WDW trips are usually identical, we usually arrive late afternoon and head to DTD to hangout/dinner. It'd be nice to arrive during early afternoon. For others that also don't do a park when arriving, what are your traditions that you do the first day at disney?

Ill be 27 on the 26th. I wil be at pop with my 3 year old and my best friend. This is the shortest trip I have ever taking the 24th to 26th but i am so happy. we decided to use our one day at the magic kingdom on Saturday. I was going to try the 24 hour event but I will not do that to the DS and hearing about the crowds on leap day, I have a feeling it will be extra crowded being memorial day weekend. I haven't been to pop in a while. I love it but i am wondering, did they really stop having the cheese steak wraps. They are not on allears menu and I loved those things.
Unfortunately the cheese steak wraps are gone!!!
I miss them very much. They were my favorite thing there!! It is very sad....
