Has anyone in here been debating about whether Pop prices will go up due to the new Skyliner now being another transportation mode at Pop?Saw the Skyliner test video yesterday and it is so exciting. I am still holding onto a glimmer of hope that it will be open for our September 21 trip. I think that is the first day of Fall anyways, so it fits Disney’s Fall opening schedule.
Is the Skyliner station over by the bridge between Pop and AoA?
I don't doubt this happened but after 20+ stays at Pop I can say I've only truly heard noise from another room once or twice. It can happen but I don't believe it's the norm.My husband and I stayed here one night on January 27, 2019 before we moved to Coronado Springs for the week. We liked the way the room was decorated, it was very nice. However, please be aware that the walls seemed to be incredibly thin and you could hear your neighbors actions without trying. Luckily, we only had to stay one night. We will not be staying at Pop Century again. This is why Disney provides a large variety of resorts, so if we don't like one, we can move on to another.
It may or may not happen. It's not really being debated because if/until it happens, there is nothing to really discuss.
Yes, the Skyliner is being built coming out the side of the bridge between Pop and AoA.
Interesting thoughts. Pop is our go to resort and I think this will definitely change pricing and numbers. Happy to have another mode of transportation, but wondering if our Pop stay might be spoiled because of it.
People speculate that yes prices will go up, but I don’t really know. I guess it depends if people are booking just because of the gondola. I really can’t see the prices going up that much more though. Pop has a lot going for it and we love it, but the rooms are small, there is no table service and no slides or hot tubs. I really don’t think it’s going to draw moderate/deluxe lovers in.
I think it really just depends on your neighbors. We had a connecting room at pop and the people that were loud were on the other side of us (non connecting room). They weren’t really loud in their room but outside their room and continuously let their door slam shut at 7 am. I even had to go out two different mornings and just kindly remind them that we are trying to sleep. They also let their children hit things against the metal railings outside our room which echoed loudly.
Yeah we really didn’t hear them too much in their room. They congregated outside their door and talked in the morning and let their kids go in and out of the room a million times.
I don't know if the prices will go up because of the gondola, but the overall prices of the value hotels have been going up fast just the past couple of years, even before the gondola came to the scene. I remember about 4 years back when Pop's preferred rooms were discounted to $90! Yeah, I think Pop's price will go up even more, as much as Disney can get out of the place, depending on how the Skyliner will work out, how often it has to be down due to storms and such, how hot the cabins get when the sun comes out. If it works out nicely and people love it, Pop should have no trouble raising its prices all the way to Moderate level. It's pretty close even now. Like in June, Pop's non-discounted preferred pool view costs $189, whereas CB's preferred room during the same time, discounted, costs $208. Granted, one's discounted and one isn't, but it's getting difficult to find discounted rooms at Pop and one is often stuck with paying non-discounted prices. So imagine the Skyliner being popular, what that will do to Pop's prices.
It is anticipated that they MAY reduce buses but we won’t know for sure until the Skyliner is up and functioning and load levels/waits have been determined. I don’t think we know for sure the impact it will have in the frequency of buses at this time.
Agreed...I would suspect that there "might" be an adjustment as it pertains to the parks served by the Skyliner...although as you said it is pure speculation and I anticipate it will be a lot of new ground to figure out from Disney Operations...
I think you can COUNT on buses to DHS and Epcot being greatly reduced or eliminated entirely.
If not,why build Disney Skyliner?
