Excellent and very helpful thread Tyler! I think I will give this a try on Friday and Saturday in July between DVC stays.

When you have a second - what is "POP TV"? Could it be a channel just for PC?

Not quite sure! It wasn't working when I was staying there.

Value resorts do not have a waterslide.

There are 3 main pools at Pop Century. The Bowling Pin pool, the Hippy Dippy pool, and the Computer pool. All of them are decent sized. The Hippy-Dippy pool has spray jets. In addition, there's also a kiddie pool, and a pop-jet area.

I have heard that somehow you can rent christmas trees at the world and they will set it up in your room. Is this true? And does pop century do this? I am sure it is a pretty penny. But I thougt I would ask.

Thank You

See you in nine days!!!

Just an update... Opening day, Sunday Dec 14th... the Security Kiosk will open at 6:00am. Prior to 6:00am, Security will hold guests back in the RIGHT lane. The left lane needs to be kept clear for cast members coming to work. After 6:00am, all will be open and clear.

OMG, only 3 more days until Pop Century opens!! Oh, how I wish I were there. February can't come soon enough!!! One would have never thought that this day would ever come since they have delayed opening of this resort several times. Good luck on opening day Tyler.


See ya soon!!!

I have a question regarding check-in times, besides opening day. Even though there's no guarantee (or little chance) for your room to be ready in the morning, how early can one check-in?

I ask as I'll be arriving early on a Friday morning in January, bright-eyed and bushy tailed off a red-eye flight from the West Coast. My flight arrives at 6:05am and I figure I'll be on property by 7am. Can I go ahead and check-in? I'd like to get my resort ID to take advantage of EMH at the appropriate park--I think AK. Is this something I can do?

BTW, Tyler thanks for all the info you've been posting and creating the FAQ!!! You rock.

Although Check-In is officially at 3:00pm, you may check in early. However, your room may not be available at that time. In such a case, you'll be checked in, your luggage will be stored, and you'll be given all the appropriate materials, including your Key to the World Resort ID. You will also be given a phone number to call. Call that number later in the day to find out the status of your room, and the actual room number.

Your room may not be ready, but you can certainly enjoy the World.

Hi all,

We are on a 7 day countdown to Pop Century.

Does anyone know if there are coffee makers in the rooms ??


Looking forward to the trip.

 

[Chip 'n Dale Express]

No, coffee makers will not be available. However, there will be coffee, hot chocolate, expresso, and cappucino at Everything POP!

 

[Poohbear123]

WOW One day to go, you lucky Dogs you!

 

[Evil Princess]

I wasn't too thrilled when I found out about Pop Century, especially after seeing the concept drawings. Now that those room rates are out for January though...Martin Luther King day long weekend? Is it worth it? I need a dose of pixie dust, college is getting to me!!

Hey Tyler -

I'm packing for our trip. We leave on Tuesday. Just wondering do they have irons in the rooms?

Any tips on the upcoming weather? Thanks - See you on Wednesday.
