Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

[WEDWDW]

Everything Pop Dining is definitely back to "normal" as of this AM-they did the whole changeover overnight!

It is still just the limited Menu,but I am sure they will add things as time goes on.

It felt a little strange to walk through a line this AM!lol

Looks like the food court is open! If someone there can confirm for sure I'll update the initial posts. Thanks.

Wait it’s been closed this whole time lol. We check in Tuesday and I have so much catching up to do. Been focused over on the theme park thread it’s about time I catch up on my POP
Stuff. At the food court wasnt open what have people been doing about food on site ? I promise to read 24 pages before I ask stupid questions

It has only been closed for walk-up orders. You could still mobile order food.

Anyone know if they have opened the showers at the Pool Locker Room? When I was there in June they were still closed. I'm thinking of taking a later flight home and like to be fresh before boarding the plane.

We were there at the beginning of August. There were signs on the shower stalls in the Women’s rooms that stated they were closed (or unavailable) for safety. I stopped in each of the 3 pools’ locker rooms on various days when I went for my early morning walks.

Besides AOA, which resorts can we walk to from Pop?

One more question... (I am getting super stoked for our trip, so I will prob be nagging y’all for answers a bunch. My apologies!)

On our Hollywood Studios day ( park opens at 9:00 am), what time should I be at the skyliner to make it for rope drop?

There are no other resorts within walking distance of Pop. The closest other resorts are accessed via the Skyliner.

If you want to be there for rope drop I would recommend being at the Skyliner no later than 7:30am.

How has the bus transportation from POP been, are they still distancing? I heard they have plexiglass dividers? Visiting POP in December, really looking forward to the skyline, Are they putting more that 1 group in the gondola?

All transportation is back to full capacity. The only existing safety measure in place is that masks are required on all transportation except open boats such as the ferry.

Buses are filled to capacity including guests standing and plexiglass has been removed. Skyliner gondolas are being filled with more than 1 party at peak operating times. During quieter times it is more likely one 1 party will be loaded into a gondola.

Sorry, guessing it's not what you had hoped but these changes were all put in place when for a period of time masks were no longer required anywhere but on indoor transportation.

Art of animation and Caribbean beach but I've only had caribbean on the same bus once.

I'm sure people have had different experiences, but we were always just with other POP guests and AOA.

Normally AoA first followed by Pop then off to CBR - but it can change.

I've been on buses to Pop with Riv, CBR, and AKL (DVC side). It was a weird mix.

Here is the setup for Everything Pop Dining from left to right:

Station 1 is dedicated to Mobile Orders Pickups

Station 2 is the Hamburgers/Chicken Sandwiches etc.

Then Grab 'n Go

Station 3 is Pizza/Chicken Parmesan/Pasta etc.

Station 4 is Turkey/Salmon/Pot Roast Plates

Big tip of the hat to the College Program Cast Members-LARGE numbers of them are working night shift and without them I don't think Everything Pop Dining would be able to be back to "normal".

What hotels are generally grouped with Pop for the ME from the airport?

It varies based on time of day, number of people etc. We used to have just AoA and Pop but in Jan we had Riveria, Coronado, Yacht, AoA and Pop.

Oh my. Checking

 

[mousefan73]

hey there I’m checking in tomorrow and have a few questions.
It’s been two years since I’ve been the pop, pre-Covid in a nutshell the changes I will experience are thank you: Housekeeping only comes every other day, pool showers closed off. Mobile ordering has been implemented, but we can still just walk in and order.

I did read through the thread and for some reason I couldn’t find if USB ports are in the room. I am 99% sure they were there last time. My son is also in the US and took my adapters with (we are flying in from Germany). Also please confirm that rooms are still well-stocked with coffee, sugar and real cream not that powder crap. Or at least liquid creamer. We plan on hitting a grocery store on the way in from the airport I would prefer not to have to buy creamer due to the heat.

What are the current pool time? What time do they close?Thanks!
