Pop century, who's going?

[trekker93]

We can't wait - it's been a very tough year for us and we need the vacation!

We'll be there from Nov 28th to Dec 4th!! First time at POP and our 2nd time visiting WDW. Our last time was 7 years ago! We are so excited!!

Stayed twice before and staying again in December. We love POP! One of my biggest tips is to take a fan or some kind of sound machine for overnight, the AC units at POP are not window units and they run almost silently which can make it kind of hard to sleep at night. Also, for room request, we prefer rooms on the backside of the building away from the pools, just to cut down on pool noise/music etc.

We were there end of Sept and they changed out our alarm clock with one that has a sound machine option. I'm assuming they did this for all rooms. Just an fyi...........

We are bouncin' back for free dining Sept '08

My sister and I will be at Pop for our second trip in May 2008. Last visit was May 2007 and was our first time on Disney property and we now hooked. We're hoping to go back every summer.

First time staying on property...and first time at most of WDW.

We're already booked for our third stay at Pop from June 28th through July 7th, 2008.

I'll second the tip about eating at off hours at the food court. It can get crazy crowded!


Take lots of pictures, and then come share them on the Pop Century Pictures thread.

We are going Dec 8th 2007 - Dec 15th 2007. This will be are 4th stay at Pop and our 2nd trip to WDW this year.

Pop has been wonderful and we have no complaints. We always stay in standard rooms and have never been disappointed. Love it.

The only tip I can give is watch out for the Ducks!!

[lovegrumpy]

We are going back for a third time Dec 15-20. We love POP and so do the kids. We'll keep coming back to pop.

 

[JohnZ46]

We'll be there Dec 10 - Dec 14. This will be my first stay at Pop Century.

This will be my first trip to WDW! (I live in San Diego and have been to DLR more times than I remember).

I did this totally on impulse last Friday night. I ran across an Orbitz deal that I couldn't pass up!

I have read ya'lls (yeah, I'm from GA) advice on staying in the back of the building in the 50's section. Do I have to pay the preferred room rate to stay there? Where are the preferred rooms and where are the standard rooms? Thanks.

I was on the lakeside 2nd floor of the 50's in January 07 and it was not preferred. The best source for info on Pop is the Groovy New Pop Century FAQ thread located at

First timeer for the POP - haven't been to WDW since 1994. This will be DD's first trip. She is 7 and so very excited!!! Of course, I am just as excited as she is, but watching her plan her way through the parks on the maps is so much fun!!!

We are hoping for a magical week!!
