Please don't turn this into a countdown thread. There's an entire forum for countdowns.

You tried, Bill. It's hard to help with questions when there are pages of numerals.

With respect to leaving your bags for a split stay, DD left her bags with Luggage Assistance at All Star Music for transfer to BWV before 6:00 a.m. with no problem. While our experience wasn't at Pop, I think they would be as accommodating as the other value resorts. They took her bags, gave her a claim ticket, and she gave them the reservation number, etc. for the BWV part of our stay. (She was there with the high school band and transferred to our resort when the band trip was complete.) Luggage assistance won't deliver or pick up bags before 6:00, but it you drop them off either with the the luggage or the front desk CMs, they will help you. Then the marathon runner doesn't need to go back just to get bags and check out.

42 and the nightmares have begun.

Nightmares?

Nightmares?

You never had the dreams before the trip where things just go wrong on your trip? nothing goes right and it is just a horrible trip for everyone. You miss a dinner reservation. Items forgotten. Family members get sick. All your favorite rides closed.

Don't worry breath everything will be fine.

Last night it was about Pop. I had a room in 60's (which is what I requested and am hoping for) and the next day the front desk told me I had to move out of that room and into 90's. They also told me I requested to be moved.

Well, it was way worse in the dream than it is when I'm awake. lol

I'm at 38 days and surprisingly the nightmares haven't started...yet. But that's only because there's been too much other drama in my life to haunt my sleep. No worries though, I know the Disney nightmares will start soon enough. And now that we are flying out at 6am instead of the 4pm flight we had originally booked, I can add "oversleeping and missing our flight" to the nightmare list!

No the worst dream I ever had is that I walked so much I walked hole in the bottom of my shoe...lol

46 days! It's starting to be real now!!

I'm just so busy between now and then

Hi all! 9 more days for me!

I am toying with the idea of adding an extra night on to the end of my stay at POP. I won't be able to make a final a decision until the day I leave for WDW (next Friday).

I am assuming I should just ask about it when I check-in?
Do you think there will be a room available for that night (the 24th)?
If I had to I would be ok with moving to another value for that last night.
What are they chances that they will have a room available that qualifies for the FL resident discount or the AP discount?

Thanks for any feedback!

I've added on extra days to my trip twice while at Pop - once because we just weren't ready to leave, and once because my flight was cancelled due to a snow storm back home. It was never a problem either time and I used my AP discount no problem. One time I got to stay in the room I was in, the second time I didn't know until the morning of checkout that my flight was cancelled and I needed to stay - in that situation my current room was booked for a block booking and I had to move rooms. But Bell Services/the front desk were super helpful and it was super easy.

 

[Angelcatsmom]

70 days even!

 

[vleeth]

What time do the poolside movies start in October? Is it any earlier since it's starting to get dark earlier?

 

[joanzie72]

all your single and double digit number till you leave are making me I still have 161 days. lol Ok so just wanted to post something to see my siggy.

 

[Kat016]

44 days until we're at POP. Soooo excited. I was listening to my disney music in the car going to and from work..and no, the kids weren't with me. Lol

 

[mkymouse40]

81 days until we are at Pop for Christmas decorations and Free Dining. WOO! HOO! This is our first time at Pop, so looking forward to it. We stayed at the Art of Animation last year, but got either food poisoning or the Norovirus (not sure which), spent 3 days sick and did not even get a chance to tour the resort and see the cute decorations!

Praying for no germs this year and staying healthy.

Just under three weeks now.

A week ago I got an email explaining we have been chosen to participate in MyMagic+

Then today I had the same exact thing delivered express mail via UPS.

Funny thing is I have already done all those things they say to do from Sining in to MyDisneyExperience to the last step of selecting FP+ experiences.

We even recieved our MB over 2 weeks ago and step 3 was to customize our MBs.

Wondering why the left hand does not know what the right is doing???

Same thing happened to me when I went in August. I knew I was going to be a part of the test before my TA did.

Cool! Thank you!
I hope it all works out

Wondering the same thing, and wondering what the movies are.
