Have been here for 3 days. So far, no film of black dust covering our floors as reported by some other posters. Read elsewhere that Disney was planning on installing shampoo and soap dispensers in the bathroom and do away with the small bottles- this has not been done in my room so far, although I guess they could do it one afternoon while we are out at the parks. Speaking of the bathroom, we have a tub and shower. Haven't taken a bath, but the option to use the handheld showerhead or the rainfall showerhead is awesome.
First time at Pop for me, so I don't know what the non refurbished room doors were like. These doors to the renovated rooms weigh a TON. Not sure if this is due to fire code or something else, but these are heavy - be sure not to get your fingers slammed on.
Also, make sure the Murphy bed is down before anyone goes to sleep. The one in our room squeals like an alley cat as you are pulling it down to the flat position. Perhaps a touch of oil on the hinges would do quite nicely.
Coffee quality isn't great, but nice to have a cup of something available first thing in the morning. Fridge cools our drinks down without a problem.
Other than some misleading information received from the front desk regarding the bus schedules, we haven't encountered an issue with the buses. Made rope drop yesterday, made it to our PPO ADR this morning without any issue. Even though the bus stop was packed full after HEA at the MK this evening (as to be expected), they had buses coming every couple minutes. We were back at our hotel room by 9:45 pm, and we spent at least 15-20 minutes after the show browsing in the stores on Main St.
Room and resort has been pretty quiet. On the top floor and we haven't heard a lot of noise from the neighboring rooms. A fair number of BTG spotted in the food court and at the bus stops, but noise volume hasn't been a problem.
Love the new rooms. Looking to book the BB offer before we check out on Saturday!
