Sorry if this is in here already,but the search button isn't working. We're taking some quick breakfast items for our room, including english muffins. I stayed at Pop last year and I remember the toasters in the food court and the small things of butter. However I can't remember if they have jelly packets out there too. I don't want to take a jar if I don't need to.

Thanks!

Yes they do.

Does anyone know if Pop is one of the earlier or later stops of the Magical Express? The reason I ask is that our flight is coming in later on in the evening and was debating whether or not we should just rent a car. With two little kids in tow after a long flight, we'd like to arrive at Pop asap! )

Thanks!

When I took the Magical Express in November, POP was the first stop... but I'm not sure if it always is. Anyone else?

Does anyone know if the ethernet cords are already in the room for high speed internet or do I need to bring my own?

It was the first stop. They have several busses for different resorts. I believe Pop is shared with Animal Kingdom and Pop ws first

I didnt see anything. I brought my own wireless card with me.

There was one hanging in a bag in the closet in each of the 2 rooms I had in December. If it is not there just call mousekeeping and they will bring you one.

Hi am subscribing to this thread. We are new to POP. staying Sept 4-11 Have stayed at FWC and CBR but never here. The budget says this is where we get to stay this year. Traveling with me are DH, DD26, DD12, DS9, Dmother72, DDILBrother 24, and one more whom we don't know yet. I am getting excited about staying here. It looks really neat.
Just from looking at the map it looks like the 70's building on the end by Classic Hall is where we should ask to be. My Mom and DH are both disabled and cant walk for long.
If anyone has room # to request that would be great. I know there are no guarantees but it wont hurt to ask.

Any other helpful information would be great.

Thanks in advance.

ok we are staying July 14-18th and was wondering were we should put our request in for. I know that we arent guarenteed to get it but was wondering which place has a better view of the lake and are the lake views preferred. I know I want to be on the 4th floor if possible.
Another question I read about how Dis'ers put lime green mickey heads in their windows. Never heard of this what are they.

Thanks so much for this place. This is our first time at WDW and POP

Hi we will be there 8/30-9/8 so some of our days overlap. The rooms you are looking at would be prefered and cost more so you would want to book a prefered room and just request 70's bldg close to main bldg. If you request actual room numbers it makes it less likely you will get what you ask for. If your Mom and her DH can't walk for long there is no way they will make it at WDW without a scooter or wheelchair so you might want to look into those for them. One company that gets rave reviews (I never used them) is Randy's mobility dot com. They will drop the scooter off to you right at the room if you chose that route. If you do it that way you will have the option of not worrying about where the room is because they can just scoot on over to wherever they need to go.

I suggested this to friends who were worried about their mother's foot problems. She is very stubborn so they will just order the scooter and act like it is for anyone in the group who is tired knowing she will use it then. They told her they were getting one for the group and they said she didn't say anything but looked relieved. Now they are not worried where they will be in the hotel or how she will make it in the parks.

On ME once we were dropped off first and the other time we were dropped off last so I would guess it is just luck of the draw depending on how they fill the busses.

We have had 50s building C, 4th floor, with an Illuminations view both times. Even the same room and it was great.

The lime green mickeys head are the paint splotches (cards) that you get at Home Depot in the paint section.

Love that idea will have to head out to home depot and get some to decorate our window

How exactly does this work?
I bring my laptop, use the ethernet cord, get charged $10.00 per 24 hours by POP/Disney. Do I get charged anything else by anybody else?

We stayed at Poplast year and loved it we had preferred rooms on 4th floor of the 60's Was awesome really quiet. But here's the thing the elevator is in the middle of all floors so if you are in a preferred room on anything but the first floor you still have to walk to the middle . Soo just go with standard, I would avoid poolside as it can be noisy.

I ordered the scooter today from Randy's They seemed very nice. So we are all set and ready with that. My DH is the one with 3 ruptured discs so he is more stubborn that my mom. But he has consented to share with her if need be. We also have an autistic son DS9, who after a long day at the parks will not be pleased to have to walk anymore.

I will call in the morning and request 70's that seems to be closest to everything.

Thank you for your helpful information.

Glad I could help. Make sure you tell them why you want to be closest to the main building and they will note it on the reservation. Ask when checking in if they can tell you if they got your request and were able to fill it so you will know even if you check in before the room is ready.

The foodcourt at Pop is also great, lots of choices. Atip if you order the sundae with your meal you can go up and get it afte you've eaten for up to 1 hour this was very useful to learn as we at first avoided them as we were afraid they would melt while we ate!!
