Is there a phone number at WDW that I can call to request a copy of each of the park maps and a transportation map mailed out to me?

Online and book maps are too small.

At least Epcot.

Thanks!!!!!

Post a thread on the boards asking for the "All Parks Guide". There is always some DIS member at WDW. You could always send them postage via paypal...

If your email system can handle it, I can send you a very large file of the 2003 map (no mission Space). I scanned it in for my own WDW map colection.

Tyler...
Can one book Mears transportation to the airport once you are at POP? I have a friend who will only need one way transportation to the airport at the end of her stay and I was thinking that mears would be the best way for her to get to there due to budget.
How do you go about booking it from the resort?
Grover in Winnipeg

Yes... you can call Mears up to 6hrs prior to your flight time to schedule a new booking. 407-423-5566

I am going in Dec 04 with dh, ds 10yo, dd 8yr and want to know what people think is the best "section" to stay in. I want to try and request that "section". I want to be up higher than 1-2 floor so I dont hear the ground traffic. I know I have seen it somewhere in the million other pages that I have gone through, but when and how should I call/fax this request to PC?

Cant wait to be there

We stayed in 70's section. Blg 6 on the 4th floor. It was quiet. I have a 10y and 7yr. Just fax a week ahead of time the blg and floor to the hotel

We just got back from Pop. We were on the 1st floor of 70's building #10. Noise was not a problem in this area. We were in a corner room just around the corner from the Goofy jet pool and very close to the food court and bus stops. We loved our room and will definitely stay there again.

We just got back yesterday from our Disney trip, and booked 2 extra days at the Pop Century. We started off with 2 days there, and ended up with 2 days there after staying at FW in the cabins in between. We booked 2 rooms connecting, and absolutely loved this place!! My kids (16 y/o twins) think this place is just too cool, and the refillable mugs were just great!!

I just hope our pictures come out as great at Tyler's pics. Everyone there is so friendly and the whole resort is very clean.

We are having Pop withdrawal now.....

Tyler I have a question for you. I have a co worker arriving at Pop a day or so after me and I would like to leave a little welcome gift for her. What is the best way to do this? I don't know her reservation # but can the CM look it up and make sure the package gets to her? Also should this be a sealed package or can I leave a closed gift bag?

Hi, everyone including the famous Tyler.

We will be beginning our trip with two nights at POP and then on to the YC. Will we have any trouble getting POP to take our bags to YC? We had AKL Conci. move ours to a Cabin once and it was fairly smooth. It took a while for them to be delivered, but I just assume that it was due to being at a Cabin.

Yes, its possible. When you check in, mention it to the CM and they will take care of it for you.

Touch the LUGGAGE button on your phone the night before the Transfer. They will set a pick up time with you to get your bags the next morning. (You don't have to be in the room for us to pick up the bags)

Luggage will be transferred to the new resort between 1-3pm.

 

[FeeFeeWhite]

That sounds painless and wonderful.

Thanks Tyler! You have provided such great info on this thread! I hope we run into you in a couple of weeks so I can say thanks in person.

Hi Tyler! My DD and I are looking forward to our stay at Pop from July 8- 15. 2 weeks ago I hurt my back so I had to rent a scooter from Walker. They said it will be waiting for me at Luggage Services. Where is that? Also, will a heavy duty scooter fit in a regular room? I can walk around fairly well, just not long distance (ie- all day at the parks) I really want 2 beds so my DD can have one to herself and she can roll all over all night long without pushing me out of bed! Also, I don't need a special bathroom and don't want to take one away from someone who does.

Luggage Assistance is at the Porte Cochere. (The big car port canopy outside of the front desk, where taxis and shuttles drop off)

And yes, it will fit in your room just fine.

I am thinking of staying at Pop Century and was wondering if you can request a certain building or area at the time of your reservation? Does anyone know if there is a map of the resort online?
We have been staying at AKL but if we want to make this trip we have to budget. Hoping we will love this resort.

You can request a decade, yes, but it is not guaranteed. Make sure to request it at time of booking, and to the CM checking you in.

hey Tyler, if you're still on here... can you put your link to the pics from the resort. I'm trying to show some friends what it looks like.

Thanks in advance!
