Ok, so a little help, if anyone knows the answer.
I'd like to book at Pop for Jan 10-12 of 2018. I want a refurbished room. Do not care where in the resort my room is; refurbished is the priority. Is there a room type that will give me a better chance? Standard, Preferred, Pool View within either one of those etc. I've been looking at some maps and trying to piece together the renovation schedule but I don't know that I trust my calculations, as I have never been to Pop.
If anyone has any insights, would be much appreciated!
Standard.
Once the Eighties are done, there will be about* 128 renovated Standard Pool rooms, and about 736 renovated Standard rooms. When the Seventies buildings are finished, they will offer 192 renovated Preferred rooms and 396 renovated Standard rooms.
So now we're at 1,132 renovated Standard rooms vs. 320 renovated Other rooms.
Sixties' completion will add 192 renovated Preferred Pool rooms, 192 Standard rooms, 396 Preferred rooms.
New counts: 1,324 Standard, 588 Preferred, 192 Preferred Pool.
Fifties completion adds 192 renovated Preferred rooms, about 192 Standard Pool rooms, and about 288 Standard rooms, bringing the final totals to:
Standard 1,612
Preferred 780
Standard Pool 320
Preferred Pool 192
*not all Standard Pool direction rooms are designated as such, because some face the perpendicular buildings
All calculations done in my head, so not quite accurate; Pop has 2,880 rooms - not 2,904! But the point is, more than 50% of the rooms are Standard, and Standard renovated rooms will always outnumber the other three types of rooms combined, at all phases of the refurbishment.
