The GROOVIER New Pop Century FAQ Thread! ~ Post #1 is a must see!

[ILoveMickeyandMinnie]

I just booked our December vacation at Pop! Were getting two rooms and the CM that I talked to said that I was gaurenteed connecting rooms. Anyway on to my question, I just got our ressie e-mail and noticed that it says "Pop Centry CLSSC - ZMBPOP Century" What the heck does the ZMB stand for? Any ideas? I was thinking maybe it has to do with the connecting rooms, but I'm puzzled! Thanks for any input!

I think it is just a code. Others have asked about it too. There is no guarentee for connecting rooms though, I think UNLESS you have minors staying in the other room and no adult.

Thats what I thought but the CM assured me that we would get the connecting rooms. He didn't enter it as all the kids being in one room. I'll call and have them put in that we want connecting rooms as soon as I figure out what building to request!

HELLO EVERYBODY:

I have been away for soooo long its time for my yearly trip to Disney.

Now that all my Disney juices are going .....I want to stay at the POP century this time. $$$ price you can't beat it.

I had the best hot chocolate when I stayed at the WL three years ago, wondering if I can get the same hot chocolate at the POP. The hot chocolate was dispensed through a machine. It wasn't a hot chocolate packet that you just add hot water to.

Do they have the same hot chocolate machine there?

Help anybody! Please

We were there last July and I don't remember seing anything like that. Maybe its a seasonal thing. I don't know but I would love some. It sounds great.

Hi, aimee11621! I stayed at Pop this past January, and I don't remember seeing a hot chocolate machine. I do know that they have Icees, but that machine wasn't running well when I got one.

They do have hot coco at Pop! I get it every year no matter what the temp outside!

Really???? Where did you get it?

It's next to the coffee machines in the food court. It's kind of hidden, but it says Hot Chocolate right on the machine.

 

[aimee11621]

Hot cocoa? From a machine gadget thingy?

If so its probably the same hot chocolate I remember.

It was a hundred degrees outside and I was drinking hot cocoa. OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH man was it good.

Well, I don't drink coffee, so that's why I missed it! Thanks.

There is no guarantee although if you have more kids than adults you are almost guaranteed !! We had nopriblem getting a connecting room last year!!Thay always do there best to accomodate your requests.

 

[jenseib]

Yes they ahd the hot choclate machine. I never had any as it was pretty warm when we were there and kept saying I'll get some tomorrow, but I never did! I wish I would've. NEXT time I will for sure.

I stayed at Pop and learned so much last year, and went back knowing alot, yet learned alot more this time around too. Now I need to go back to use all this knowledge! Try telling DH that. LOL! I don't think we'll be going back for at least tow more yars, so now I'll have to plan my fantasy trips that will never happen until then. LOL!

My dd always planned on getting one at the end of the day, but was usually too tired to hike back to the food court to get it, lol.

Oh yeah--and for the fancy coffee lovers who don't mind slumming it I've heard of people mixing half coffee and half hot chocolate (or whatever percentages you prefer) for chocolately-coffee-yumminess at a vastly lower cost than buying a real mocha-type beverage.

I was asked to take a picture of Classic Concoctions while I was at Pop this week. I am sorry that I was not there when it was open, but I'll post these in case they help until you get something better.

It is located in the back corner - to the left if you are facing the food court cash registers, beside the ice cream/sweets area, and also to the left if you come straight in through Everything Pop gift shop. Pass the registers, then look to the left, under the roller blades.

That may at least help someone who is not at all familiar with Pop. I took more Pop pictures, but I'll share later. We just got in late last night, and I still have a lot of catch up to do.

I too can confirm the hot chocolate machines at Pop. I tried the hot chocolate/coffee mix but it was still awful. I now just drink frozen coke at Pop for my caffine. I have never had a problem getting the frozen coke-sometimes one machine will be out but I've always luck finding at least one that worked.

I never saw it open when I was there too. I think they usually just open Petals when the weather is nice. (just my opinion, I really have no clue though) I had heard they opened it once when it rained, but I never saw it myself.
