Should I request a room at Pop?

[Aimros]

Hi all, I'm having a dilemma about requesting a room at Pop. I was talking to boyfriend the other day (my travel companion) about the situation. Lately I've been thinking to call and request a king size room at a building somewhere close to the main building (i.e. NOT the 80's or 90's). But after talking to him I sort of changed my mind. I told him that I had read on here that the 80's and 90's were like a 10-min walk, but he said "we can walk, families need to be closer". I suppose he's right. And my problem with the king size room is that I don't want a handicap-accessible room, because I would feel like I might be using it when someone else could instead of me.

So what do you guys think? Is it better to be closer to the main building? Has anyone ever been really glad they got a king size bed? And, should I just wait to be surprised when I get there? TIA!

This is only one person's experience, but, we stayed in a king room at All Star Music and the bed was hard as a rock. It is the only time (in over 13 trips to WDW) that I would say the bed was uncomfortable, and it's also the only time we had a king bed.

Not sure if we just got a dud or if all the king beds are like this.

On our first trip (our honeymoon) at Music, we got a king bed room. I didn't really realize it was a handicap room at first. We didn't tell them it was our honeymoon so I guess it was just luck of the draw. I loved the huge bed and want one for my home!!

We are staying at POP in a few weeks and Preferred room location was all that was available, so the choice was made for us.

We get the king rooms at Pop and have never gotten a handicapped room. The 50's section is a great place to request.
