Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

[mommy2mrb]

Here. Pool demo started Tuesday. It’s been drained and they are currently breaking up all the bottom of it.

I check into Pop tomorrow and I’ll try to post some details on the refurb.

Have a great trip!

Now time to be one of those, when your there could you... Just kidding, I'd never be one of those those people, but if I was I probably would have asked if you could check how much lockers cost if your ever find yourself around them.

Thanks for the update! Checking in on 2/8. Do you have a recommendation for which building to stay in? Thinking of the 70's to be close to Skyliner.

We requested 60s Lakeview. Though 70s wouldn't be too bad either. Bit further from the food court though

Thanks so much for posting what is actually happening as the Disney website has incorrect information posted!

@dawnball, looks like I gave you incorrect information. Sorry about that!

Update: I just emailed the Pop GM and requested clarification and advised of the misinformation on the Disney website. I'll post here if/when I hear back. They're very good about responding to the emails sent to the GM address.

we requested 70s, lakeview. but 60s lakeview would get you close to skyliner too. I had touringplans fax my actual room request (I specifically want room 6113), so I hope I get it!

Aww bummer! I'm really glad now that I had a funny feeling about mentioning the kiddie area to my toddler before we arrived!

The kiddie pool is definitely not something to write home about. Hopefully they will be upgrading it during the reno. The other pools do have small life jackets, though.

oh I know it's nothing special, but it suited our needs. Even with a life vest, my 5 year old isn't great in the water. She has more fun in splash pad type things.

We had the 70s section, lakeview. It was quiet and a short walk to everything. Very convenient to Skyliner access.

Agreed!! My almost 2 year old LOVED the kiddie pool last summer...we actually never even went into the big pool she loved it so much. Hoping the kiddie pool is open by beginning of April, as we also used the information on the Disney website as "oh well if the big pool isn't open, the kiddie pool will be!" I know the smaller pools are open, but she really loved the kiddie pool!

I arrive on 2/2, standard room, and just requested 70s first, 50s second in online check in, but I've had 6113 in mind as my ideal location, too!

I did not request 60s because there are so few standard rooms there and I think lots of people request them, so odds of getting one aren't as good. 70s is my favorite section anyway.

This is why I did not request 60s. I figured the odds were better for my choices in the 70s. Plus, there is the nostalgia factor for me in the 70s!

LOL, I hope not! I think you have dibs.

I can take 6213. The stairs will help me walk off the lamb shawarma and Ronto Morning Wrap and Ample Hills ice cream. I promise, I'm a quiet upstairs neighbor.

Kids splash area was open today with a lifeguard. Pool is under construction but the bar is open.

No clue why the orientation is weird
