POP Century~Unofficially the Grooviest FAQ Thread #8~July 2013

Weird, I wonder why some MB's have to be signed for and others do not? When I got home from work, ours was just laying on the front porch.

Just left Pop after a 4 night stay. We had 3 different rooms for all of us and each of them had a working fridge. We were in the 60's on the 4th floor. We didn't eat at the food court so I can't weigh in on that but it was a good stay.

I really wish I knew if we were going to have a working fridge by the 19th. I was going to place a small order with GG for some things for DD (yogurt, juice) but am hesistant to do so without knowing if a working fridge will be in the room by then. My cousin is at POP right now and he has no working fridge and no new bedding.

Thanks for the update on the fridge situation. I might switch my room request from 50's 4th floor to 60's 4th floor and go ahead and place my GG order then.

Thats awesome. I'll warn you though, it's maddening. I've been switching my FP's around for the past 2 weeks and just when I think I have them perfect, something new is added for me to pick from (Fantasmic, Illumntns, princess fairytale hall) and then its back to reworking them around the new option.....I just want it to stop, LOL.

Sadly, i don't have an expired license on hand, I am taking Amtrak and they said the temporary would work as well.

You'll be fine. Hope you have a great Happy Birthday trip!

Can you tell me how far out you are? I'm wondering when fireworks and parades will start showing up for me. TIA.

We are arriving 11/11 and will have our 4 yr old DS with us. When I made our initial reservation in July, I asked for the 50's or 60's (standard view) building.

We are due to pay off our trip this wk and I was wondering if any of you experienced Poppers have any other suggestions before I call (or do online checkin). This is our 1st time staying at Pop (& on-site, period). If you have other location suggestions (for the room), I'd love to hear them

Any ideas?

I'm going to be calling to pay off our trip today .

Question about MBs. We customized ours but they won't ship until the time limit for customization is up, right? Thanks!

FP+ would be great but we don't know exactly which parks we will be at on certain days (except for the MVMCP on 11/11, so I got a couple (won't be able to use the earlier one b/c we can't get in til 4) between 4-7pm).

You can change or add fp+ at kiosks in the parks. Check to see if different times are available as well. You should be able to do all of this now.

Thanks! I could book fantasmic but nothing else yet. I KNOW how u feel!!

 

[Flynnismine]

I've seen some posts stating new FP+ options opened for them at 10 days out so I'm holding out hope for Wishes and MSEP on Wed Oct 23rd. I did get Fantasmic for a tuesday and could have gotten Illuminations but passed on it as I'm not sure we'll be at Epcot that late in the evenung and it's not a priority like Wishes and MSEP.....those two are the golden goose for me right now but haven't been lucky enough to have them show up as a FP+ option on MDE yet.

Everyone is sayi g that the fridges are comming soon... I just got a letter in the mail yesterday saying there are no fridges.....
And won't be for a while.

 

[DisneyRunner2009]

I got back last week from POP. My DD and I made FP+ changes on our phones as the day went on, right up to the start of our FP+ time slot. The main reason was, that FP+ time wasn't going to work, at that moment, in our touring plan. Pull paper FPs when you can. The only ride we saw run out of FPs, across HS and MK, was TSM.

32day!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm waiting to board a redeye flight from Vancouver right now, I just have the DME booklet I got in the mail. It has vouchers with guest names and barcode. I just plan to use that, but if I have to jump thru any additional hoops tomorrow morning I will let you know. So looking forward to checking into Pop tomorrow!

This morning Magical Express was easy I had my voucher in hand, they scanned it 3 times between entering the line and getting on the bus. No one even asked about magic bands. At check in they were ready and waiting! Also the wifi at Pop and right now at Animal Kingdom is working great(for Canadians and others who rely on wifi for access to MDE app on their phone or iPod).

That doesn't mean anything. There were several reports last month of guests receiving letters despite the fridge replacement being complete at their resort. I believe this is just Disney's way of trying to cover their behinds with a general letter to everyone.

There is a number you can call to get an update on the current status for your resort...(407) 827-7760.
