Any word on the baby pool (play) area? We leave in 12 days and I am really hoping that it is open. Thanks.

I just got off the phone with Pop Century Guest Services (407-938-4000). The CM I spoke with checked his computer and said nothing is shown as closed right now.
Now I know this guy isn't really at Pop Century and he has no clue. This is what his computer screen was telling him. It would be nice if you could call them and they could look out the back doors and see if it was open or not.

The pool was not a scheduled closure. I think it's donw due to a problem they had. It's not listed on All ears either.
 
Transportation question for those who've been there. When I used the transportation wizard on Ourlaughingplace, it often sent me ways I wouldn't have thought, like to Blizzard Beach then hotel to a different resort for ADR, or to get abck from AKL, it had us take the bus from AKL to DHS then to POP? I would have thought bus from AKL to AK to POP??????

The transportation wizard is often unreliable.

If you have transportation questions, the transportation board is a great place to ask. I rarely see incorrect answers given there, and when they are they are corrected quickly.
 
Am I the only one who gets giddy with excitement out of the clear blue sky just by thinking about being at POP. All the sudden I just got so excited for our upcoming trip that I can hardly contain myself. 72 days can't get here fast enough :)

As far as I know you can go from AKL to AK to Pop. From what I was told AKL gets to AK by bus and so does Pop. So you should be fine doing that. Just check the park hours to make sure AK is open when you need it to be to get the buses.

Yes, that is probably the issue. If AK is not open, there won't be any buses running to it, so none leaving AKL to AK. If it is after 5pm on most days, you will need to pick a different park or Downtown Disney to swap buses to Pop. If the time you are speaking of is during the morning or early afternoon, you should be fine with AKL to AK to Pop.

Maybe someone that is going before me will be able to comment. :confused3
 
? I would have thought bus from AKL to AK to POP??????

We had several dinner resos at other resorts (specifically AKL). What we did, which I found to be the best, was just get on the first bus that showed up at PoP(to any park) then transfer there. I mean why wait for 2 busses? The only park that this is no good for is MK - cause its the farthest... Otherwise get on the bus for any park or DTD, then switch there. We did this several times and it worked well! Also we took a cab once - cab to AKL from PoP was about $13. And in case anyone is wondering, its a $7 cab ride to the boardwalk.

I'm so glad I'm not alone... :goodvibes We won't be back at Pop until December, but something during the day will suddenly make me think of it, takes me right back to being on that property, and then it's all I can do to not jump up and dance around with joy. :banana: I so love that place! :cloud9:

The CMs are not actually at the resort.

Nope, I clap my hands furiously and giggle out of the clear blue sky. DH thinks it looks like Epilepsy!:banana: I talk and think about Disney CONSTANTLY!

You are definitely not the only one! Sometimes I will randomly get that happy feeling that I get when we first pull up to Pop and I just want to burst! I can't really put the feeling into words, but I'm sure all of you know exactly what I'm talking about. :banana:

I get excited just thinking about stepping off the plane in Florida and getting on the people mover, let alone actually being on Disney property!!!
 
Dose anyone know if you can ship sovineres home from the pop? If you can how?

Yep! You can either ship from the store where you bought it and they take care of packing it all up and shipping. But if you plan to buy a little here and little there then that could add up to a big shipping bill.

If you ship from Pop or any resort, it's a good idea to have a box. They may be able to find you one in the back but I'd rather have my own to be on the safe side. You can buy boxes at walmart before you leave that are flat. You can pack in bottom of suitcase. Then you take items to ship and box to concierge along with the address. They'll help you get packed up and will send it UPS or FedX - not sure which one.

So for the least amount of hassle - ship from each store.
For the least amount of $ - ship from resort.
