Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

[fla4fun]

What floor were you on? I’m thinking about requesting a top floor.

I have stayed in two top floor rooms and two ground floor rooms and didn’t think either was particularly noisy. In both I would hear a faint sound of toilet flushing, but that was about it. Noise in a hotel is more often about your neighbors and less about location. I have had really noisy neighbors in some of the deluxes.

I apologize if this has been asked already...but does anyone know what buildings are closest to the Gondola construction? Thanks!

Both of the 60's rooms should be closest to the Bridge, if that is where the Gondala is going to go.

 

[Runner225]

For some reason I thought the construction was only on one side of the bridge (by the 50s & 60s area)?

Also, I just got bombarded with 4 emails from Disney/POP telling me about the gondola construction. Has anyone else gotten these? They are all the same.

The access to the Gondolas will be from Generation Gap bridge close to the two 60’s buildings. They win also run behind buildings 2 and 3 of the 50’s section.

The access to the Gondolas is in Generation Gap bridge close to the two 60’s buildings. They win also run behind buildings 2 and 3 of the 50’s section.

Thank you!

Do you mind sharing what they said? My reservation isn't until September and I haven't gotten anything about the gondolas. Are they by any chance offering gift cards to compensate for the possible noise/disturbance all the work may cause? I know they did that at CBR when construction there started to ramp up (but they don't anymore).

I was at Pop in Jan and was near the gondola construction and it wasn’t loud. I don’t remember hearing much if anything.

I don’t think it’s fair to choose to stay at a resort where you know construction us taking place and yet request compensation. If you’re that concerned you may want to consider changing to another resort as your trip is still months away.

Not requesting or expecting anything at all! But I certainly wouldn't turn it down if it came up.

For the pasta, they offer green beans and caesar salad as well. You can also double up if you only like one of the sides and it comes with 2.

Thanks! Was curious since most of the menus found online just say 'plus 2 sides.'

Sure, I got this in e-mail 4x within a few mins of each other:

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.

I got the same thing, and also got 4 copies of it within a few minutes of each other.

They are not.

I know they did that at CBR when construction there started to ramp up (but they don't anymore).

They did at CBR because they removed the food court, table service restaurant, arcade, gift shop and pool bar. The gift card compensation was to make up for basic amenities being removed, not construction noise or disturbance.

Are the 50's room renovated rooms?

Check out this post which has a listing of which buildings are renovated or are undergoing it. Looks like 50's are the last ones to be done.

I haven't gotten any emails, I wonder if it's because our trip isn't until August

 

[Runner225]

That makes me feel better. I modified our reservation by adding a day and then called two more times to inquire about a dining plan and I was hoping all the calls didn't mess with my reservation. Thank you for the info.

I haven't gotten any emails either, and my trip is in less than 3 weeks! Strange.

In the real world, yes strange. But it's completely normal in Disney's world for some to get emailed, some to get many of the same email, some to get emails about resorts they're not booked at and yet some who get nothing .

 

[captaindavidhook]

Can anyone tell me there thoughts about staying at the 80's section. How did they like it? Is it close to the buses?
