I wouldn't pay for preferred. Some rooms are closer, but nothing is really that far.

Don't have my room number from the 50's where we stayed, but it was in the boonies and I beg to differ. It WAS really that far. I read the posts that said don't worry and believed them. For my upcoming stay we are going preferred. There is no way I will be out in the sticks again.

We'll have a car, but I was wondering: is it faster to go to some parks by bus? And what it is like driving to the parks? Do you have to take a tram to get to the gate or can you just walk it?

Take the bus to MK. You have to park at the TTC and take the monorail to MK anyway.

If you are planning to get to the parks for rope drop, you won't need the tram. But the lots fill up fast if you go later.

The only times that we thought the car was much faster then the bus was when going to the water parks and MK during MNSSHP The lines for the bus to get back to POP were horrible It took 5 busses before we got on... wished we had a car that night

Just curious, what time did you leave MNSSHP? Would like to avoid that as well.

Oh nooo,,, both me and DD15 have long hair,, I'm not too bothered about drying my hair as I tie it up mostly especially when the weather is hot, but DD is VERY fussy as far as her hair is concerned,, we are still at logger heads about the straighteners,, she really wants to take them, but as they need such a high wattage I would have to buy a heavy duty voltage converter which would cost the equivalent of $80, and it weighs over 3kg,, which is not good when we are only allowed to take 20kg of baggage each from the UK for a 15 stay ... I would claim ignorance about the strength of the hairdryers, but I don't know if I can put up with 2 weeks of complaining once we get there,,,, dilemmas, dilemmas

Perhaps we should start up a hairdryer swap lol

We will be going to POP for 2 nights starting August 24th before moving over to SSR. My duaughters and I love to spread the pixie dust when at WDW, so we would be glad to buy you a new hair dryer and leave it at POP front desk for you. This way you won't have to go Wal-Mart! I think you arrive right after us. Just let me know if you would like us to do this for your daughter!

Thanks for that posting, I have been really worried about having to walk too far from classic hall to our room, anyway you have convinced me to go with preferred,,, I have just telephoned my TA and upgraded and it only cost me an extra £40 for a 14 night stay!!! Well worth the money if it means I don't have to walk to far

I guess it must depend on the person, because we were far back, and nothing seemed more than a 7 minute walk for us. I walked all over the property and didn't think anything was very far away. I was amazed that people complained about how far away they were. I don't think the 80's or 90's are that far either. If you cross the parking lot you are really close to the bus stop! And I saw some of the preferred rpoms to be almost as far back as we were, so you are not guarenteed to ble close.

WOW fakeredhead....we were in the Jukebox bldg straight down to your right...where were you from there? I never went around the back so I don't know if there were rooms there too! I am staying in the 60's not preffered this year as we spent all our time at the hippity dippity pool and didn't think anything was really that far from Classic Hall. Hope you enjoy your stay this year!!!!!

This will be our first trip to Pop and we're really excited. We aren't in a preferred room but were told that the 50s and 70s rooms weren't that far of a walk. Can anyone confirm? I've ready so many reviews and most indicate that nothing is that far. Thanks everyone!

 

[EeyoreLuvr07]

Thanks for all of the tips. DH and I are leaving in just under 2 months and I'm sooooo excited since it is my first trip since I was 5 years old. I can't wait to get to the POP.

We were in the back side of the 70s facing the lake, and had no problem with the walk.

We were in the Juke Box 50's bldg I think room 2141. Bldg 2 Floor 1 Room 41....lol that is how it works. It was a minute walk to the Classic Hall. I dont' think anywhere is that far!!!
