?s RE Pop Century

[jfeasel]

We've never stayed at a Value resort and had a couple of questions:
1. Does the Pop Century have laundry facilities where we can throw a couple of loads in?
2. What are the pools like at Pop Century? Are they themed? Do they have water slides?
3. Are pool towels provided or should we bring our own?
4. Is the restaurant more of a food court?
5. Does the room have a small safe like what the moderates have?
6. Does the bathroom area have a double sink?
Thanks,
Julie

1. There are laundry facilities by the pools.
2. The pools are themed in that they are in shapes - a flower pool for the Hippy Dippy pool and a computer shaped pool and a bowling pin pool. There are no water slides.
3. I believe you bring your own towels. Call housekeeping if you need more.
4. There is only a food court there.
5. I believe the safe is a little bigger than the ones at the moderates. When we stayed at POR, we could barely fit our Passporter Guide in there.
6. Only one sink.

We are staying there in August for the first time! Yay! I am really excited about it. I can't wait to show the kids all the memorabilia.

Julie,
I think I can answer all of your questions We'd never stayed at a value either, but we decided to try POP for a few nights over our Spring Break & loved it!
1. There are laundry facilities @each pool.
2. & 3. Pools are themed in shape, but no water slides, & you need to bring your own towels. We simply asked a mousekeeper for a few extras & she happily gave us some. 3 pools total.
4. Restaurant is a food court, & a good one at that. We really enjoyed it - lots of different choices, plenty of tables, several beverage stations, & even "mug wash" areas! It has convenience items to purchase as well.
5. There is a wall safe, just like the mods have.
6. Single sink in the vanity area, like CSR.
Very cute atmosphere, nice transportation - 1 bus stop w/ organized line up for each location - ask for a room facing the lake - lovely & quiet!
