The Groovy New Pop Century FAQ Thread!

[SplashMom]

(I'm hoping for the Playdo bldg which is the 60's right. Still a little concerned about the noise from Teens and Grad nights! Anyonee have any info on this? Lreaving in 5 days!!!

From what I understand, most groups are booked into the All Stars and not Pop. We will be there this week and next week so I hope this is true!

We've been there a few times before and I have never noticed any large groups. It is always busy with families but once our room door is shut, we never hear any noise, even when we are ground level facing the pool!

Can't wait!!

Thanks so much for that link. Does anyone know what would happen in this scenario: I booked a preferred room and asked for Lake View. I thought that all of the 60's was preferred, so I thought I would be getting 60's lake view. From that map it seems I shouldn't have booked preferred.

Here is a closer image of the Hippie Dippie Pool. As you can see it is almost as long as a half section of the "T".

In March they were selling both the Pop mugs (appeared to be the same as last year) and the new blue YoaMD mugs.

HTH! Have a great trip!

So, can we use the YOAMD mugs at other resorts? (during the same trip)

I thought I read that they still say pop on them, or the resort the yare from, so No I don't think you can use them anywhere else.

My son would love the goofy fountain! Does anyone know where it is located? I would like to request a room close to it.

I looked on willcads maps but I couldn't find it.

Thanks guys!

( Never mind. I looked on the arial photos on the post above and I found it.

Sorry!)

 

[tifandjim]

if they are still selling the old mugs from last year, what keeps someone (who stayed there last year) from reusing them this year? Just curious...

If you truly want lake view maybe you should try to change the ressie to a standard room and request lakeview in the 50's or 70's.

It is on the walk way from the 70's up to Classic hall. Not far from the fuse ball,big wheel, and Mickey Phone.

Do you all know whether or not there are towels at the pools @ POP?
Thanks!

 

[Twilight Terror]

I just wanna know a few things about this frozen coke machine I've been hearing about.

Where is it located? How much does it cost? Is it available 24/7 or only when Food Court is open?

Also, can you take your room towels to the water parks, and then just leave them at the water park? Or do you need to bring them back to the hotel?

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

The frozen Coke is available at the beverage stations inside the food court. Most people buy the refillable mugs, which is what we did, so I don't know how much they would cost indivually (probably about $2). There is always at least one machine working during the hours the food court is open. I say at least one because they start shutting down the beverage stations in the evening one by one until closing time.

The best thing to do for towels @ the water parks is get them there. I think it was a $5 deposit which you got back when you returned the towels (or something similar!). If you did take them from your resort, you would need to return them to your resort so you don't get charged for any towels when you check-out.
