I found this really awesome thread in the "theme parks" area... Its a thread of photos of characters in "rare form" its just fantastic - so I wanted to share it with all of you!
Count down to make my adr's...1 1/2 hours to go
Anyone else up? I am so excited just could not sleep.
Yes I did get everything I wanted just on different days that I really wanted, but it will be okay...Thank God all the ARD's are done, time to start shopping and packing 
My DH says he'll never want to stay off property again. He really enjoyed the buses, the DDP...everything! Thanks again for all of the info you've all contributed. It really helped make our trip better.
Just back from our stay at Pop! For those of you asking about the kiddie pool, it looks just like pictures I've seen, so nothing has changed. We got all of our requests (60's bldg, higher floor, by the pool). Well, we were sorta overlooking the kiddie pool, but it was nice and quiet. We really enjoyed everything about Pop. Whenever we were at the food court, it was never busy. We were there at all different times of day. The buses were amazing!!! I think the longest we ever waited was 10 minutes. This was my DH and DD's first stay on property and I've got them hooked!

not a pop question - but how were the crowds when you were there
Welcome back! So glad you had a great trip and enjoyed POP!
How did the rooms look? When I was in the 60's, pool side last August the room was really need of fresh paint and some wall repair - POP has such high occupancy that I'm hoping it's getting lite refurb as needed.
I cannot imagine anywhere more wonderful than WDW with a 6 yr old!
I finally made the decision of when my DD and I are going back ---- Sept 2010! Let the planning begin!!!!
Hi everybody! DH and I just got back from Pop on Sunday. We were there 6/20-6/27 in room 1365.
We've stayed at Pop every year for the past 5 years, and we have loved it every time. It was still great this time, but we did both notice that the rooms could use a little refreshing (mostly the bathroom). The shower head was almost covered in mold and mildew and there were several other black mold spots throughout the shower. There were weird purple stains on the wallpaper in the bathroom, and there were rust spots all around the bathroom door and on the doorframe. I wish I would have taken pictures to show you what I mean, but I kept forgetting. There was also a large cobweb in the corner above the sink.
Obviously the issues weren't enough for us to change rooms, but they were noticeable. Other than that, the service and atmosphere at Pop was fabulous as usual. I did try out a couple of the new tea flavors and I have to say I didn't enjoy the sweetened green tea at all, but the sweetened white tea with citrus was delicious. I would still much prefer the slushie machines, though.
The bus service seemed much better during this trip. We usually end up waiting around 30 minutes or so at closing at MK, but we noticed that they were sending 2-3 buses at a time both at MK and at Epcot to keep the line moving. They even sent a DCL bus one night at Epcot when the line started to build up!
Thanks so much for the review. Last summer our room (5470) was looking pretty shabby - pretty big knock in the wall that was not filled, but painted over, huge black marks on the walls and the bathroom definitely in need of refurb.
