Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

[leeniewdw]

That's great to hear (or read!).

Question about stacking LLs...so we are staying onsite, so 7am can book one. Then, when the park opens at 9am I can book another even if we haven't used our 7am one yet? Then Again at 11am, 1pm, etc (every two hours)?

Almost correct.

We grabbed one at 7am (at our home airport) and since our park reservation was for DHS, which opened at 9am, we were able to book our next one at 11am (2 hours after park opening). We grabbed another at 1pm. So when we arrived at the park around 2:30pm, we had 5 LLs (we'd also purchased 2 ILL$). I grabbed another at 3pm as we were queuing up for our first LL. Essentially we had 6 LLs at 3pm for the rest of the afternoon/evening.

There's a thread dedicated to Genie, Genie+, etc with a lot of great information there. I'd highly recommend reading and asking questions there as it's a really complicated system (sadly!) and we'll keep questions on track here to Pop Century. Thanks!

No clocks in the rooms, correct? Kleenex?

Oh shoot, sorry! You can delete that post if you want to keep this thread clean.

Does this resort offer nightly events for families/ kids to participate in, anyway to see a schedule for these events are are they one a weekly basis?

If I wanted to have Dinner at Boma- whats the best way to get there from this resort?

Skyliner to Hollywood Studios and then Bus from there.

 

[MakiraMarlena]

the best way is Uber/Lyft but without spending any extra cash, the above is a good way to do it.

Does anyone know if they're still selling the Pop ears?

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Does the resort still sell limited grocery items (i.e., containers of milk and OJ, bread, etc) I am thinking we will make breakfast in the rooms so to save time from having to maneuver the food court in the mornings. I can only get up so early after a long Disney day.

Yes, they still sell limited grocery items. I don't recall seeing bread on my last trip - I wasn't looking - but there is milk and OJ. Even some cold cereal.

This is a silly question, but do they have the park maps in the hotel lobby?

I’m in the lobby right now and there are no park maps to be seen.

There are monthly schedules that are posted at the resort but unfortunately they’re not online. They’re normally posted near the doors leading from Classic Hall out towards Hippy Dippy Pool.
@Pyotr, if you could possibly post pics if you see them it would be appreciated but please don’t go out of your way. Thanks!

Can you use your chromecast on the TV's at POP?

 

[trompettecon]

If you decide to use Lyft/Uber, have them take you to The Contemporary rather than MK. Then you can just walk over to MK.

The guards at the gate of the Contemporary will not let you in unless you have a dining reservation. This drop off is no longer possible.

Anyone rope drop AK for ETPH from Pop? Trying to decide how early to show up for the bus and when they start running. 530a seems stupid early but if a line exists by 6a....

Yes, I mentioned that I had forgotten that was not currently an option a few posts down from my original post on March 1.

I stayed at POP! Sunday 3/20. I didn't make a room request and did online check in. The room was fab - clean and modern, with a very comfy bed (more so than expected!), and the walk-in shower was a huge bonus. I didn't use the table bed but I did pull it down out of curiosity. It was super easy, even with a coffee in one hand.
I arrived around 11pm and the 90's area was quiet all night. The huge computer decorating my building was even kind of pretty lit up/overlooking the pool! The luggage services team was excellent - I had a few interactions with them over the course of the day. The walk to the Skyliner from the main building was shorter than it looked on the map.

The resort music quickly started to get on my nerves, though -- more than I would have thought possible. Why? The theme, of course, was Pop songs. Unfortunately, it wasn't "pop music's greatest hits," - it was "pop radio's most overplayed." (For example, I heard that Dawson's Creek song ["I don't want to wait..."] at least twice that day and I really wish I hadn't. But, the room was great!
