I have not heard a thiong about pillowtop matressess. I know about a year and a half ago all mattresses were replaced, but they weren't pillow top. Some have said they are now being replaced again with the refurb, but from what I hear they are hard as can be. Not sure if this is true or not though

I guess I need to start searching through the trip reports board to see what people who just got back are saying

Ok, so I've been doing some 'research' and asking around to people who have been to POP recently. Here's what I've heard so far (this is just word of mouth and nothing 'official.')

No word yet about the pillowtop mattresses.
All buildings should be completed by the summer.
Building 6 is finished (70s section)
80s building closest to the busses is finished (not sure of the building number)

Sounds like a great time!

Just a heads up that there are openings for the Pay If Forward Box swap @ Pop. I have May 10-31 open, June 12-24, July 10-30, Aug 1-14, Oct 8-30, Nov 8-30 and Dec 13-31!

Come check it out! It's fun and practical all at the same time!

 

[Tinker_Tam]

Mrs D that is an awesome idea. Too bad I only have one day available as we check in Nov 30 and that is the only open day. Darn!

Does anyone know what time the food court opens in the morning and what time it gets really busy?

The food court opens at 6am, usually gets busy about 7:30am.

 

[MinnieLovesMickey]

Another question about the food court. Has anyone been there recently and can tell me what energy drinks/iced coffees they are selling right now? I know they like to switch it up and in the past they've had Rockstars, Full Throttle, Monster, and then Caribou and Illy iced coffees. I go down in a week and a half and I'm curious to see what they are currently offering.

I need to have my energy!

Thank you!

Can you get iced coffee in the refillable mug?

 

[SRUAlmn]

NO WAY!! I've been begging for a resort to have iced coffee for years. Waiting for an answer too

Just got back, stayed in refurbed room in the 80's building 9. I believe the mattresses were new but they are not pillow top. For a hotel mattress we all thought they were comfortable, definitely not rock hard. We saw work being done on the first floor rooms of building 10 of the 70's section.

 

[stormtracker]

You can put some ice in your mug and fill it with coffee. I can't recommend the Nescafe though.

 

[jenseib]

I doubt it very much. I think it's the kind sold in a glass jar in the refrigerated section.

Can you be more specific, in what area of building 10? Building 10 is our favorite!!!

Thanks, hope you had a great trip!

OOps double post

 

[KELLY]

We booked bounce back at POP last year before we left. The promo has expired. But will they let me add a night ? We are currently there from 9/25 to 10/3. But dh just told me he could leave Friday now.
So we would just have to add that Friday night. I have never had to change dates after the promo has expired. I have upgraded from value to mod before and they were more than happy to do that.
