POP questions

[jaseyandmallorysmomm]

We are going to Disney this MOnday and Tuesday.

I have a few questions, we're staying at POP. If I want a building that is close to (any) pool AND a bus stop which one should I hope for?

Is there one that is close to a pool, a bus stop And the food court?

Also we are having breakfast at the CR at 7:15. There is no park open until 9am. Will we be able to drive our own car from POP to the CR and park all day there while we're at the park, this way we will eat and take the monirail right after we eat to the park?

Any suggestions?

DD and I stayed in the 60's building (preferred room) and the Hippy Dippy pool was right outside our door; very convenient but also VERY noisy! We were also close to the back door of the food/shopping area (just a minutes walk across the pool area). We LOVED the location but probably wouldn't stay in the same area due to the noise level.

The numbers is crowd level basend on 1-10, followed by best park and park to avoid.

Monday is a crowd level of 7. Best park is Disney Hollywood Studios, avoid Epcot and Animal Kingdom. Tuesday is a crowd level of 5. Best park is Magic Kingdom, avoid the other three.

That's just in info I got from touringplans, not sure how accurate it is.

Hi
We always liked the 70's section. Some of the building is preferred which you have to pay extra for. But it's close to the front for the busses and close to the food court. I also liked the 50's section, but felt that it isn't quite as close. You could drive to CR from Pop, but usually they will give you a 3 hour parking pass, so you'd have to move your car. You could park at the TTC and then take the monorail, and then leave your car there all day. Or you could take a Pop bus to MK, and then the monorail to CR. Have a great time!!

will the monirail be running at 7am from the TTC to CR if the first park isn't open until 9am? And will the TTC parking lot be open that early again if the first park isn't open until 9am?

Yes, the transporation systems are running. If you don't want to drive, you can take a bus to MK and monorail to CR. They will both be running.

We stayed in the 50's section Lady building in rooms 1104 & 1105, first floor. These were preferred rooms and an easy walk to the buses and the food court. Also very close to the bowling pin pool without it being immediately out our door. Easy walk to the hippy dippy pool too!

If the MK buses are running, just take the bus to MK and walk over to CR - there is a sidewalk that takes you right there Five minute walk!

Have a great time!!

p.s. I'd check with guest services when you arrive to be sure buses are running that early. Transportation is supposed to running to get guests to breakfast ADR's, but you'll want to be sure to allow enough time.

We were in the line for Magical Express at POP yesterday at 7:00 A.M. There was a bus going to MK at 7:00 A.M. If you take the 7:00 A.M. MK bus from POP to MK, you can walk to CR. I think it would be closer to walk to the CR than to walk to the resort monorail platform and then take the monorail.

You probably would not get to the CR by 7:15, I think the bus ride is a little longer than 15 minutes. I think the walk time is around 10 minutes (we are a family and we seem to always have a straggler.) And there is signal that you need to use for the crosswalk.

You could take a cab from POP to CR. Expect to pay around $20.

You could park at the TTC and take the monorail. The monorail will be running that early. Be sure to take the Resort Monorail.

The Resort Monorail will take some time as I believe it will stop at the Poly, the GF, MK, and CR last. You may want to schedule around 20 minutes just for the monorail ride. There will not be a lot of people loading and unloading but those stops just take time.
