The Groovy New Pop Century FAQ Thread!

[Mrs.Prince]

Can anyone tell me about Charter Buses? I'm thinking about getting one for our families trip. Do they charge extra for those at Pop?

This question may have been answered on a previous page, but I'm wondering if the Pop has a coffee maker in the room. I can't remember from our last stay there. Thanks in advance!

There is no coffee maker in the room. You'll have to bring your own, or drink the NesCafe from the food court.

There's no coffee pots in the room. You can buy a mug refill....$11.99 and have coffee all week. Just a thought.

I can ship UPS from my office at the corporate discount so I found it well worth the price to keep my DH calm.

I'll have to go check out Bed Bath & Beyond!



So...I bought my airfare this morning for my first solo trip (hoping a friend will join me but I'm going no matter what). Can't wait to stay at Pop again. Last May I didn't really spend anytime walking around the resort. I'm looking forward to that this year.

Hi lovesdumbo, you will love walking around. Checkout the signs with dates on them. IF you are born between 50's & 90's you can find your birth date and see what happen that year you were born. Also, don't forget your camera there are a lot of cute things to take photos of.

I hope your friend can go with you....I hope you have a wonderful trip!

Thanks! I will definitely bring my own!

Thanks for the suggestion, but I need my coffee VERY soon after waking, so I don't want to have to walk to the food court to get it! I think I will bring my own.

I couldn't drink the stuff from the foodcourt and I'm not all that picky. I ended up drinking hot chocolate, coke or frozen coke in the refill mug for my cafine.

I bought a new camera recently so I'm excited to get lots of photos. I have enough memory for about 1,300 photos but I'll keep my eyes open for sales before I go-I may buy 1 more memory stick.

We are staying at Pop this summer and have booked a prefered room. We would like a 4th floor room overlooking the lake.
How should we request this?

I would make the request in the same manner that you just posted this question.

 

[jonkatony]

Thanks declansdad, I should fax or telephone?
How near to travelling?
Who do I fax or telephone?
Has anyone the relevant numbers?

Personally we faxed last time we were there and they gave us the perfect room. Mind you that it was a slow time of the year. I'll try to see if I can find both numbers for you.

You can add it to your reservation. Call CRO or have your travel agent add your requests. Good luck!

When we go in Nov. we are going to go 1 day to Universal, but we are not renting a car while there. Does anyone have suggestions?? How much is a taxi?? Is it worth it to rent a car for a day??

 

[MeMom]

There is a bus that goes from Disney to that strip of Orlando attractions. I know it goes right to SeaWorld, but not sure about Universal. I think it's less than two dollars per person, so you could consider that option.

My confirmation letter came today and they have my DS's age wrong. Is this something I should bother calling about or does it make a difference?

We have always made the request through our TA and then followed it up with a fax 3 or 4 days before our arrival. I think you can find the number of the 1st page of this thread or at allearsnet.com

On our last trip we requested 50s Building C, 3rd or 4th floor, Illuminations View (lake view), and non smoking. We were very happy with the room they gave us.

Hope you have a great trip!!

Is this something that seems to work for most? I just don't want to seem pushing and upset any of the Cm's, is it better to fax or just wait until you get there and ask nicely?
We stayed in the 50's last year and loved it, the youngest DS can't quit talking about the bowling pool! Would love to stay in that area again, but as I said don't want to press my luck?? Any thoughts?
