We just returned last night from a great stay at Pop! We arrived about 7:00 pm or so on Friday 9/25. We did online check in prior to leaving home. We had two reservations booked; one for 5 nights with
free dining and one for 2 nights room only for our DD19 who was only staying for the weekend. I made a request for our our rooms to be connecting when I originally made the reservation and again when I did online check in.
When I went to the online check in line, the CM says he had us in rooms in different buildings! I was starting to freak out inside, when he realized why the rooms were in different buildings...there was another guest with the same name and spelling as mine and he had pulled up her reservation in error! When he pulled up my reservation, he saw that we did indeed have connecting rooms in building 7 (80's section)Thank God!
This was the second time we stayed in the 80's section. Our rooms were 7404 and 7405, 4th floor facing the computer pool. I thought the location was pretty good; no real noise from the pool area except the first night; we could hear kids screaming, but we were so tired it didn't keep us up at all. The walk to the food court wasn't bad; it was faster to cut through the 70's area. The bus stop was fairly close as well.
The tye dye cheesecake is still there as of yesterday!
No issues with bus transportation at all. Never waited more than 10 minutes or so to get to the parks; leaving the parks was about the same except at MK EMH closing was a zoo, which is to be expected. We should have left earlier. Tons of people in line, but the busses kept coming right after one another so it moved fairly quickly.
Checked our bags with RAC which was new for us. We always fly Southwest so we never were able to use RAC until now. Unfortunately, we are still waiting for our bags to make it home.
They never made it on to our flight yesterday,although SW did call us last night and say that the bags were on the next flight after ours. They are supposed to be delivering them to me today between 8 and 12. Good thing I didn't have to go to work today
Not sure if I'll ever know if the problem was with RAC getting the luggage to MCO late or if SW just screwed it up at MCO. Makes me nervous about using RAC again though. But I suppose if your luggage has to go missing, better to lose it on the way home than on the way there,right?
Anyway, we had a wonderful, exhausting trip. If you have any questions, ask away!
. Remember this is coming from someone who take spublic transit every day but the buses were great. I did just miss the DTD one the day I arrived and had a 20 minute wait but that's the most you will have and it only happened once. After the MNSSHP did have a short wait. Only because they were filling the bus with Handicapped and their parties, but they brought in another and pulled it up right beside the one they were filling and we were on our way. Suggest leaving park about 10 inutes till 12 depending on crowds. They weren't bad when I was there but don't know about now with F&W and being closer to Halloween. What I wish I would've done is really walked around POP and checked out all the Icons. I missed a lot of them. You might want to take some relaxing time to do that. OH and ride the balloon at DTD. It's awesome. Sorry I got so long winded but it was a great trip.
we arrive Sat Oct 3 Can't wait 
). The most important thing to us is a quiet location so that our little guy can rest well for naps and bedtime. We're going to ask for a fourth floor room, preferably a lake view. We figure it would probably be convenient for us to have a room fairly close to the Goofy water area and the kiddie pool, but we don't want the noise from the big pool. And, of course, we'd rather not have a huge hike to the busses/dining area. (Wow, that's a lot of wants, isn't it? 
) So...what are your recommendations? 60's building, 70's, or something else? Thanks for helping a newbie!
