Hey there everyone! Long time no chat!
I had about 25 pages to catch up on only from March 16 until now! Chatty bunch!!
It looks like our Pop Family is growing with new readers full of anxious questions as theyre planning their first trip!! With that in mind, please allow me to take this opportunity to remind everyone that if they read Post #1, SO many questions that you may or even may not have will have answers in Post #1. No one here minds answering repeated questions, but if youre in that mode of wanting to know now, hopefully youll find your answer right at your fingertips.
If you didnt know this, you can search for key words on a webpage by pressing [Ctrl] + [F] (F for find). This will help if you dont have time to read through the whole thing in your I need it now! moments.

For example, many posts I saw from the past 3 weeks were on topics already in Post #1 complete with answers most were looking for (like fireworks views, (door) decorations, internet access, quiet room suggestions, roll-away beds, faxes, bottled beer, etc.).
Again, no worries if you want to ask with your own posting, but know that theres a LOT of valuable info there, and as you see from this post, if theres something that others may also want to know, Ill get it added to Post #1 for future readers or reminders for the rest of us!!
There were several pieces of new info or clarifications from the past few weeks that Ive added to Post #1 that include the following. Typically I just make a silent modification that's noted in the "Reason for Change" field, but with this many, I'll list them here.
- VIP Cleaning
- no more apple juice from the self-serve beverage fountains
- Addition of Fruit Punch Powerade at beverage fountain
- coffee creamer dispensed from a machine in Food Court
- smoking section eliminated by Petals
- clarified that toaster in Food Court is industrial
- Online Check-in
- Link to jenseibs written fax letter
- Add thread on door/window decorations to go with the existing picture links
- NO TAPE on doors for decorating
- Clarified that parking lots/spots are unassigned
- Added jenseibs 2009 mug picture to go with the DISboards pics from their article (Jens picture is much better, imo!)
- Air conditioning/heat vents are at the ceiling level
- NO ceiling fans

That leaves me with two topics that Im seeking answers to.
- Someone mentioned theyve seen coffee creamer pods on ice in addition to the dispenser. Where were those located ? Also, was the creamer dispenser by the soda fountains? Did I miss if there's validation the dispenser uses half and half?
- I specified that the artificial sweeteners available includes Splenda and Equal (both are seen in a picture someone recently posted). Anyone know if Sweet n Low is there as well? I never had a need to look for it, so Im not sure.
As always, if you see anything that Ive inappropriately represented in Post #1, please send me a PM so it can get corrected!
Anyone know if they still have the ping pong tables? I swear I never remember seeing them, lol.
How about the
lego's near the luggage check in- Seems like a tripping danger, lol. I got this info from post #1 of this thread.
Yes theres a ping pong table right across from Petals. In fact, it was upgraded to a new table the summer of 2008. Check out Post #1 for a link to a picture of it.
I have to agree with you on the giant Legos being at a weird spot!! They do have the space roped off on 3 sides and defined by the carpet rug, but if you look closely at the picture I took and posted in Post #1, its far from fool-proof!
We are making our 2nd trip to Pop in a few weeks with my BFF Garmin. Last time we couldn't the thing to locate Pop
.
I had the same issue with my Garmin last summer. I saw several follow-ups to your original post, but thought I would inclue one additional piece of advice.
When I was trying to find a solution to my problem, I found the global position address of the resort, which I had posted to Post #1. By putting in the destination in my Garmin by longitude and latitude, it was a very precise and dependable mark.
