You just want to make sure you go to the pool closest to your room, so when you get out, you can quickly get to your hot shower.

We just need heated towels!

May I ask where you learned this?

We were advised by a moderator a few days ago of the upcoming closures and these were published here Friday:

Skyliner operational closures for maintenance

• Jan. 24: Disney’s Pop Century/Art of Animation Resorts line unavailable
• Jan. 26: Disney’s Hollywood Studios line unavailable
• Jan. 28: EPCOT International Gateway line unavailable

buses will be available when Skyliner isn't.

Unless the schedule has changed, the Pop line is only closed today.

Tuesday a Pop guest would need to take a bus to DHS because that leg of the line is closed and Thursday a Pop guest would need to take a bus to Epcot.

Also, the lines should all be fully functional on Monday, Jan 25th and Wednesday, Jan 27th.

If this has changed @Disneyfan754321, please advise.

The first bus normally leaves Pop between 45 - 75 mins before park opening. You would want to arrive earlier than that at the Pop stop as by the time the first bus arrives, a line of guests would already have formed. Arriving at the stop 90 mins before park opening is recommended IF you want to attempt to be on the first bus of the day.

If anyone is at Pop today:

The Pop/AoA Skyliner isn’t running today but there are buses to both Epcot and DHS and one over to CBR. There was a long line for the Epcot bus (crowded buses make me COVID nervous.) so I hopped on the “Skyliner” bus and rode with one other couple to CBR where the Epcot Skyliner was a walk-on.

Yes,just allow PLENTY of time.

The first Gondola has been leaving the PopArt Station around 90 minutes before DHS "official" open.

The Skyliner from CBR Station to Epcot doesn't start until around 10:30 AM.

HOWEVER,it starts running for testing much earlier so you can ask the CMs if you can ride it to Riviera Station for your Reservation.

If the answer is no,you will need to walk through Jamaica and Aruba to access Riviera.

Either way,the CMs will want to see your ADR.

Coffee pod suggestions to pack for room? Looking to bring my own flavored coffee pods for the room and hoping those who do the same can share what your faves are and where you buy them. I see Melitta makes Vanilla Creme brulee which looks interesting but pricey. Most of what I find online are k-cups which of course won't work.

We found some really nice Laundry baskets(new to us anyway) have been added to Bowling Pool Laundry(haven't checked Hippy Dippy and Computer Pool Laundries).

Really help in transferring from washer to dryer.

Ok good to know. Thank you. Wasn't sure how early to plan for that

Thank you. What you posted tonight is in agreement with what was published Friday and very different from what you posted this morning. I didn’t want Pop guests suddenly thinking the Pop line was closed fir 5 days when it was only closed for 1 day.

The Hippy Dippy Pool at Disney’s Pop Century Resort will be unavailable Feb. 15 through early March in order to perform maintenance work.

 

[WEDWDW]

Here is the announcement from Disney concerning Hippy Dippy.

Definitely not a GROOVY announcement for you PopStars staying during those dates.

However we probably love hanging out at Bowling more than Dippy-can't beat the 1950s Soundtrack!

My guess is the work is to replace the Heater for Dippy.

Dippy was down one day last week and the Lifeguards told us they were having trouble with the Heater.

The Hippy Dippy Pool will be unavailable February 15 through early March 2021 while it undergoes maintenance work. The other themed pools will remain open for Guests’ enjoyment. During this time, it is possible that Guests may see or hear construction, but noise should not be heard from Guest rooms between dusk and 9:00 AM.

Oh no! We are booked for that week.

 

[WEDWDW]

Oh no! We are booked for that week.

We always roll a Strike at Bowling Pool!

Give it a try-GREAT atmosphere!

No Skyliner to DHS today and, it seems, very, very few buses.

It’s 8:55 and the line for a DHS bus stretches from the ESPN stop up to the Epcot stop before looping back and around out of sight behind Classic Hall. The first bus didn’t arrive until almost 8:20 and there’s only been one since then. I quit counting MK buses (also a 9:00 am opening) at 12.
