Refurbished rooms at POP Century, and ECV's.

[Rista1313]

Has anyone stayed at a refurbished room at POP Century, with an ECV yet? I'm wondering if they are able to fit in the room with the murphy bed down?

Thanks!

Wondering that, too! Great question!!!

Should be able to fit by the window

I believe there is someone around here who has reservations coming up fairly soon; hopefully they will get a redone room, and post some info (and maybe pix too!) and let us know how it went!

I’ll know in 3 weeks if someone doesn’t post before then.

Either you are there now, or you should be leaving soon, any update on how ECV's fit in the refurb rooms?

TIA!

Still here. It fits perfectly fine. There’s a plug between the dresser and the.. coffee/fridge thing (I’ve no idea what it’s actually called) and room to do a 3-Point turn to back it in. I should mention that we’re also not using the second bed. I hope the photo worked!

It should fit with the bed down as well, would just be harder to turn around in the room.

Perfect! Thanks! The picture was great!

Thanks for the pic! I have another question if you don’t mind. We are planning an upcoming trip to Pop and will have 2 ECVs and will be utilizing the 2nd bed at night. If we have the bed up, can we park and fit 2 ECVs in the room and then lower the bed for the evening alright do you think?

I don’t see why not.. there is also an area on the other side of the dresser that you may be able to maneuver into. I can’t say for sure, as we had our suitcase open there so I never tried (and we left yesterday so I can’t snap a picture). If need be you could possibly put one in the spot we talked about earlier and then back the second in right by the window.

Glad you could get an ECV in the room! How did you like the new rooms? From your photo it looks white and bland (and cheap fake wood) and a lot like a dorm room, not a Disney resort room. Is there more color someplace? I'm surprised the walls are pure white, no colorful trim even.

We stayed in one in October. It was beautiful. I HATE the cheap fake wood look and was actually hoping for a non-refurbed room. Disney actually took what in the description was to me a downgrade in the aesthetics of the room and made it look great. In November I stayed in an older room in the 50s. I had never stayed over there before. I LOVE the location and the theming of the 50s, especially Lady and Tramp, and I was satisfied with the room, but I look forward to when all of Pop is upgraded. I just hope the price doesn't go up too much.

It was a bit bland, compared to the old rooms. I do prefer the cleaner look in general (and no carpeting is easier on the allergies), but was disappointed that they didn’t do more with the decor. Simple furniture I could see - it’s so much easier to update the look with new bedding or paintings. The theming seems to have been lost in the refurbished rooms. There’s a print of Mickey in 4 colors in a frame above the one bed, we never opened the Murphy to see what may be inside there. We were building 7 (80s) in a standard pool view. The sliding door into the sink area was nice, as was the door into the actual bathroom. I told my husband that we needed to get one of the shower heads, we really liked those .

noibn, thanks for the info - even if it makes me feel sad about my favorite resort Sounds like they've gone white and bland, which is a shame. Glad that the uncarpeted flooring is better on allergies though!

And no carpeting helps with preventing bed bugs!

One last question? Were you on an upper floor or 1st floor? Just wondering how the elevators are if we get a higher floor.
