The GROOVIER New Pop Century FAQ Thread Chapter 2! ~ Post #1 is a must see!

I saw a rat in Frontierland in MK.

Eeeek this is sounding scary. I have never been to Florida before and I had no idea about the bugs and things.

We won't be in our room for long though - up and out to the theme parks first thing and then not returning until bed time is our plan.

Which building is the quietest i needed to know!

If you go back to your original question on page 95, you'll see that someone responded right after you asked. (I quoted both below....)

which rooms at POP Century is quiet!

Most 4th floor lake side rooms will be the quietest.

 

[MidgeHadley]

Looks like your question was also answered on page 91 of this thread.

Which hotel rooms at the POP is the quietest rooms?

Rooms on the lakeside of any building (with lakeside rooms. )

Maybe you are looking for a more specific answer:I would suggest simply requesting a "quiet location, 4th floor, lake side". This will help the room assigner understand what you're hoping for. At check-in, ask if your room is a quiet location and if it is a 4th floor, lakeside room. If not, ask if they could please find one for you.

The POP CM's are usually very nice and helpful.

Hope this helps!

Have a great trip!!

Yes, chilled wine and beer in the food court's cooler section and some bottled hard liquor in the gift shop. Don't forget Petals bar at the pool. There used to be a bar inside as part of the food court but I think that space has been re-purposed since I was there last.

oh good, thanks for the reply!
On another note... I'm a massage therapist and I was doing chair massage at a convention today and the woman mentioned she was going to Disney (or I mentioned ) We are going basically the same week and she is also staying at POP!! it was such a coincidence! she gave me a great tip. She told me to call dining and request a small gift bag for dd. it costs $5 but I ordered her one for when we go to Narcossee's since there will be no characters to keep her entertained. Then dh and I may actually be able to eat in peace if she has something new to occupy her time!

 

[jeanylaser]

I hope our family love to stay in the 70's and the 80's! Oh! One more thing does everthing POP sell any disney comics?

That's not a bad price! You'll have to update us on what was in the bag

Sorry If this Is already out there,but Is there toasters for use In side the food court? I was thinking of sending down Muffins and just toasting them there at the food court,I know they have butter and jam there for use.

Yes they have toasters, but not the standard slice type you put bread or an English Muffin into at home. These toasters are more like restaurant ones that will take your toast into it and run it through it. They also have microwaves at each beverage stand and butter and jam are available with the condiments.

Everything Pop has a real good selection of merchandise for a resort store we have always thought. and I have bought many things there over the years. Never saw any comics though, but they do have a daily newspaper on the counter each morning for those who want the daily news. I was searching for a new hat last month and did a pretty thorough search of Everything Pop's merchandise.

I just got back today. The online check in is going on, but I saw no seperate line for those people while we checked in but did see a sing off to the side.

I saw someone asked about free upgrades. As far as I have read, I rarely ever hear of this happenng. Sometimes poeple will be uprgraded to preferred, but sometimes they don't even know it was an upgrade. Very rarely do they get upgraded to another hotel, but it happens occasionally. All the rooms are the same. preferred is just closer to Classic hall.

Somethings I noticed.
The smoking section by the Petals bar is no longer there.
No more aplle juice at the fountains. I asked and the CM told me it must've just happened because she didn't even realize it.
No diet caffiene free pop at fountains. It was like that last March too, but I have heard others say they have seen it, so maybe it comes and goes?
If I think of other things I'll post them.

Our Pop stay (first ever!) is coming up March 22-28th and I'd really like to have a 4th floor fireworks view. From what I've read the best way to maybe get this is to send a fax 4 days ahead of my check in date asking for that? I need to find the right tone between groveling and sounding entitled. Also we need a pack-n-play for the baby. It should be clear in my reservations but should I restate that on the fax? Any thing I should add to the fax to make it looked upon more kindly? Would an actual phone call work better?

Oh my gosh... so excited.

I faxed this year and last year 4 days prior and got exactly what I asked for. I was so happy.

here is my fax. It was pretty much the same both years, with small changes. I'll x out the personal info

Attention Room Assigner

Hello from Ohio! Brrrr!

I would just like re-confirm our reservation and see if you could possibly accommodate our room requests.
Our Reservation number is xxxxx. We are booked for March 8 -14, (celebrating my 40th birthday!). There are 3 of us, Dean xxxx, Jennifer xxxx, and Claire xxxxxxx (4 years old). We would really appreciate if we can get first floor (because we have a stroller and hate to hassle with elevators), poolside ( because Claire is quite the swimmer), and 60’s section ( because Claire loves the Jungle book),

If you have any questions my home phone is xxx-xxx-xxxx. My cell is xxx-xxx-xxx
Our home address is
xxx xxx xx
xxx xxxxx

Thanks you for your time and consideration. We are excited to be seeing you all soon!

Buckeye Gal - First off, this thread is AMAZING! You did a great job and I was so excited to find this after a friend suggested this board to me.

I still have over 80 pages to read, but I had a quick question.

I have a 4 year old and a 13 month old. We would like to be not too far from the kiddie pool, water jets, playground and parking. I can tell from the map links that we can't be close to it all, but it's not too far of a walk either. Since the kids may be pooped out some nights, we may end up back at the hotel when fireworks are going off. I was thinking that maybe it would be nice then to be somewhere that my husband and I can see them from right outside our door while the kids sleep. Based on all that and the awesome maps, I am thinking that maybe 3rd or 4th floor of the 60's - Building 4. Thoughts?

THANKS!

If you want to be close to parking, not too far from buses and close to the jets, and playground, plus not far from the food court, 70's preferred would be good, but you won't see fireworks from there.
