~ Bunnies and ducks
~ Love the Mom's Dinners, Tues & Wed I think are our favorite, Turkey Dinner, now I'm not a big T-Day fan, but loved this meal
~ Go sit on the bridge in the evening and enjoy the peace & view
~ Path along lake is great, with benches and signs - year and what was happening
~ Walk all over, there is so much to see. I have been twice and have yet to see it all, I just found out there was a Roger Rabbit icon
~ Ice Cream and Sundae counter, not obvious but it's there

Yep! Roger is in the 90's section it is done in break dancin and pacman! It has the computer pool and cell phones this is the section we were in during our stay in April!

If you love Christmas music, you are in for a treat! You hear it all around the resort.

I personally can't stand it after working in retail, but thought somebody might enjoy it. Next time I will bring earplugs.

We have stayed at all most all of the Disney hotels but we have only seen armadillos when we are at POP, both times we stayed we saw a few of them at night.

Don't mind at all! Hope it takes off for the GF thread like this one did!

I'm also wondering where you saw the armadillos. My girls (okay, and me too) would love to see them!

 

[nemofan]

Thanks..both times we saw them they where in the grass in front of the parking lots. The 1st time we where coming home from the park and I caught some thing out the corner of my eye..5 adults jumped out of the car! We where so excited it was really cool! The 2nd time we went looking for them in the grass it took us a few nights but where able to find them
Good luck!!

Hi
Here is a different question I hope someone can answer.
Is the TV in the room capable of accepting and playing a dvd player brought from home through RCA Jacks and does the remote have the ability to change "input" from TV to RCA Jacks? Thanks

i would like to know this too...anyone??

 

[kindakrazy2]

Thanks! I'll now be on the lookout for armadillos!

It going to be great!

It's too bad I'm not staying in Pop this year.... missed out on the rate on Expedia and wasn't sure about Orbitz to try them.... Dreams Unlimited couldn't get me a room so I got Sports instead....

Orbitz is great - have booked both and air and hotel with them for years.

Air has a surcharge, so I check air on the site and then go to the airline site to book.

Hope this helps!

Have you tried AAA? I looked on Expedia and didn't find them any cheaper, and I went to the actual airling site to get a cheaper airfare too.

Will not book directly through AAA, but have been able to get AAA rates through Disney directly or my Disney TA.

Also have an AP this year, so usually try to hold a AAA rate, then change should an AP rate be released.

Choclate fudge sundae for a credit snack.

If you are getting food to take back to the room tell them and they will give you a plasitc plate cover to keep the food warm.

If you are in building 1 for the 1950's park in the 1960's car park on the right as you go in, it is closer.

Sometimes they have someone with hula hoops out the front of the building, by the entrance where cars drop off.

Count us among those who love POP. We stayed there for the first time this past May and have already booked our room for January.

We stayed in the 50's section, top floor, building 1 and found it very quiet and very close to everything. The walk to Classic Hall was only about 2 minutes and about 3 to the bus stops.

If any one is interested, we have pictures of POP posted on our trip report. Feel free to take a peek.
