Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

[Nebraska_Disney]

Any reports of how the noise is over by the 50's with the gondola construction?

Stayed there a few weeks ago and heard absolutely no construction noise.

2 weeks until check in! Looking into breakfasts at the resort, does anyone have a list of snack credit options for breakfast at the food court? I tried googling menus, but nothing lists what counts for snacks. TIA!

We just received this from POP. This was kind of them to explain the situation before we arrived.

We are delighted you have chosen to stay with us at Disney’s Pop Century Resort!


Walt Disney once spoke of how his creations would never be complete as long as there is imagination left in the world. It is in this spirit that we have embarked on some refurbishment projects across the Resort including creating a new transportation system, Disney Skyliner, which will give Guests a bird’s-eye view of Walt Disney World® Resort while traveling via gondolas. This transportation system will connect future Guests of Disney’s Pop Century Resort with Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, the International Gateway at Epcot® and other Resorts.


While we work our magic, the Resort will be in full operation with all amenities available to you, including our dining, merchandise and recreation locations. It is possible that you may see or hear construction, but noise should not be heard from your Guest room between dusk and 9:00am. We apologize for any inconvenience this work may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding. Please know we are making every effort to ensure your comfort and enjoyment.

I just received one of these messages for my two night stay in October. Now wondering if I should switch to another resort.

I got the same email today. I find it interesting that the only thing that is specifically mentioned is the gondola construction and not the renovations that are being done to all of the rooms.

I think it's overall a head's up about skyliner construction starting. I'm staying at pop and aoa in Oct and received 2 emails. I don't anticipate any added issues aside from maybe restricted bridge access.

 

[Bbguy5]

got it as well today for our stay in Nov. Weird that it only lists the gondola's and not the room refurb

 

[ellbell]

So weird. My stay is next month and I have not received an email regarding construction at all.

 

[Shelbizzles]

So weird. My stay is next month and I have not received an email regarding construction at all.

Me too. I'm staying end of September and haven't gotten anything

 

[mousefan73]

Same here. Maybe what is currently going on doesn't count as "condtruction". Seems they are mainly setting things up to get started.

Me too. I'm staying end of September and haven't gotten anything

Oh I certainly hope the generation bridge is open. I wanted to go walking and visit aoa

My DD9 loves the mickey waffles, but will not eat the sides. We are on the regular dining plan and am wondering if maybe they would allow the waffles by themselves as a snack credit. Our plan is to use snack credits for breakfast, CS for lunch, and TS for dinner.

 

[10MoreMinutes]

I'm staying in November and got the e-mail as well. My thinking is that they expect gondola construction to impact guests much more than the room renovations, and maybe that's why people with sooner reservations aren't being notified.

And CBR Guests are receiving "Flyers" in their rooms.

 

[prettypatchesmsu]

I go in early September and I also have not received any emails or anything concerning construction etc.

 

[KNovacovschi]

I received the email as well, I'm thinking those going in September that didn't get the email is probably because it won't be started at POP at that time so will not effect your stay.

as far as i know, that's not an option. It wasn't allowed when we were there this past Feb.

I'm figuring as much, but will ask just in case I get a pixie dust giving Cm...lol! I could have her get the waffle meal and grab a "snack" uncrustable at the food court and bring it with us for her lunch

 

[Veronique]

Yes, it happens. But it is very rare.

I called again and spoke with the nicest CM ever who worked 2 years at POP (how lucky!). Since I had a 2 nights preferred room followed by a package with free dining, he changed my first reservation to a standard room and made sure there was a request for the 80s section. He wrote a note in both reservations about it being a continuing reservation so hopefully we will be able to stay in the same room but he did try to get me a standard room for the second reservation, he clearly knew this was going to be a problem with my request, but unfortunatly my date did not work.
