Found this in post #2 on first page...

If you need additional privacy from the vanity area or if you're looking to darken the sleeping area while you’re getting ready in the morning, pack a tension rod and shower curtain w/rings or a regular curtain. Place this between the vanity area and the bed area. The width of this "doorway" is 38", so plan accordingly. An alternative is to use two Command Adhesive (removable) Hooks and hang shower curtain on the hooks.

thanks!

The is another reason to stay at POP. We went for 2 weeks earlier this year and stayed at POFQ. This is sort of a bonus trip. I'm still a little nervous of all 5 of us in a room but I'm sure we will manage. As it is we are only planning on bringing 3 suitcases one being empty in case we buy to much. And in all honesty this trip I would rather do the QSDP. To many ADR"S having to be some where makes me . I bought a gift card for t-rex already. I will pay out of pocket for CP breakfest that is DH favorite. I do have a question. I really would like to be in the 60's section but not facing the pool. Should I pay for a perfered room or not. If I do pay perfered and end up by the pool is it bad (the noise). I plan on getting a small fan as I need noise to sleep.But not the yelling and screaming type. Yep I'm one of those. You guys have been so good about answering all my questions. Also has anyone done a Mickey's Grand Welcome? I will call Diseny once the kids are down for a nap this afternoon to switch to Pop.

How wonderful for your family!! Your requests are perfect - do put the most important request first and so on. Hope you get just the room you are hoping for - and do ask at check-in if they can find on for you, if the room assigned is not even close to what you hoped for. Have a great time!!

Since we will be eating CS for a full 9 days. Does POp have the best CS options? I looked at the music and there don't seem to be as big of a selection. I was hoping the menu hasn't been updated in a while. But there is no meatball sub or steak and chesse sub. Those are DH favorite for some reason.

I really like Pop's food court choices, there are a ton. We've stayed at AS Sp before, and Pop wins, hands down. Pop has an "Asian" station, which won my heart. I could swear they had cheese steaks, I remember eating one! Meatballs I don't recall.

The only thing is they got rid of the ICEE's (frozen Coke's) and got this nasty iced tea instead... yeah, don't drink it, it's gross.

They had cheese steaks in March, but I thought they were waaay to salty!

Is there a microwave in the eating area for everyone to use?

Hi - I hear they have hairdryers in the rooms - are they much good?

I mean are they like the ones that take 3 hours to blow your hair semi-dry and stand no hope of being able to get a nice smooth finish (ladies will know what I mean), or are they good ones that will really do the business?

I don't want to have to buy one if don't have to (we are on different voltage over here) but if I have to I have to, if you know what I mean.

Many thanks.

You better go on and buy one if you really want to style your hair. The dryers are basic hotel ones that take a long time to dry and are not powerful enough for long, thick, or smooth finish hair. It did help dry my son's shoes a little though.

 

[KELLY]

I have short hair really short and thick. And yes they do take a while to dry your hair. But it worked for what I needed it for. But I'm thinking I will take my dryer this time to speed it up a bit.

Pop had meatball subs in May when we were there.

I never called yesterday to change over to POP. I can see on the map where the perfered rooms are in the 60's section. But I would rather be in the 60's section not facing the pool. So would I just book a non-perfered room? I guess I thought all of the 60's section was pefered. I would like to call today but need some advice first. We are going from the suite to one room. I'm sure we will be fine but the savings is over 1000.00 and that is a ton of money. We thought about staying moderate but the extra sink and the little bit more room is not worth the 500.00 to me. I would like to try pop also beacuse after are cruise next year it is a good possibility we will stay value.

I would book a standard room, with a request for the 60's section. You can also fax a request for the 60's section a few days before your arrival (fax # located on post 1 or 2 on this thread)

Just did online check in for our stay It's getting close!!!!
