Re: You tube
That video was great, but it cracked me up that they forgot about the computer pool all together. LOL
Another example of the editor and voice over guy never having actually BEEN to the place they are reviewing. Probably saw three pools in the footage, and thought the baby pool was the third.

Anyway, the rest of it was really nice!

Oh I forgot about the computer pool too. Darn it! I haven't seen it ~ gotta go back NOW!!

My kids loved the computer pool, and my DD talks about going to that pool when we go back. She wants to jump on the "keyboard" LOL

Cant wait to get back!

Only if you want to be near the main building. We had a preferred room this past week. It was nice to be close. But we were also close to the dippy pool. And trust me, people did not honor the quiet times of the pool. 10 PM - midnight. Good thing, the last few nights we were so tired, it didn't matter much. And I'm a light sleeper. But the last night I did call the front desk, because at 11:30PM a child was letting out a piercing SCREAM every 5 seconds. I had enough and made the call. Not sure what transpired, but in less than 5 minutes, it's stopped.

So you may wanna consider this. We will be back the end of the month, and we are getting a standard.

Blessings,
Winnie

We just got back on Sat. July 5th. We had a standard room in building #9 it was great. Awesome location and quiet, we we're fairly close to the buses maybe a 200-300ft walk from our Rubic's cube stairwell. We had requested a room in either building #6 or #10, but what they gave was even better.
Have any questions just drop a line.

How do you know what building is number what???? I am wanting 4th floor in a building that faces the lake. one person commented that they were in the juke box on the 4th floor. I will be glad when the planning is over and we are actually there, but then I get to start over the next trip. It is a never ending cycle.

OMG!!! We were in the 90's too and just checked out on Saturday also. 9439 to be exact. About 2 rooms away from the Rubik's cube. I requested th 60's but got the 90's. It was a lot quieter than the 60's that's for sure but too far from the frozen coke machine. We may have bumped into each other

Are you kidding me, our room was 9434. You faced building #10 right?

My family and I are going to the POP July 15 thru 22 and we have a standard room but after reading some posts, I am thinking we may want to get a preferred. Is the preferred room worth the extra cash?:

In my opinion it is only worht it if you are first floor, poolside. Otherwise I would go standard. But everyone has different opinions.

Thanks for the info.

Yup! I guess I should apologize for all the noise. I was the one bringing the luggage carts back and forth at 11pm on so many nights. Fridge Swaps We had the two little boys in the double stroller just in case we bumped into you at the elevator.

Does anyone know what are the dimensions of the safe in the rooms at Pop? I'm trying to figure out if the door/opening will be large enough for me to place my laptop inside. Thanks in advance!

They are listed on Post #1. You'll also see links to some pictures that may give you a perspective.

We checked in about 1:30PM, and we got our room right at 3PM. Not too bad.

We have checked in later than that and there has always been someone at the desk. We also asked about getting tickets after midnight if we did 2 separate ressies and I was told by a CM that someone is always there. Just check with them when you check in and they'll tell you exactly how to do this!
