Thanks Bawb! I just want to say it was pretty much right on. I have stayed there 5 times in 3 years, 7-10 days at a time and will be again in May. So I guess I have over 40 days there by now. The months were, Nov week after Thanksgiving, Dec week after xmas, May-Mother's Day, August-3rd week-free dining and October-over Halloween. I have found Bob's review very good. The only thing I didn't experience is the smell of the room, thank god!
I thought we could all add our reviews too and see if we all have had a somewhat same experience.
I always stay in preferred, never bottom floor, usually fl 3 or 4. Although it can get noisy with the kids in the pool in the am. We always stay out till 1-3am(we always close a park or DTD shopping , and at that late hour, we always seeing the cleaning crews, pools, floors, walls of hotel, lobby etc.
so I can tell you they keep the place tip top.
The pool is always open when we come in at 2-3am, just no life gaurds. It is usually a few people in it or empty, but open.
The food court is ok. Yes the breakfast is BUSY after 9am. The food is not stocked so Bawb was right on that by 12am there isnt much there.
The CM's like Bawb said are kinda just workers. There was a couple at check in that were ok, a couple in the store were ok. The mousekeeping is ok, I always try to meet them and usually do since we leave so late each day, like noon, so they are around. I do tip them. I always get towel animals and I think like Bawd said, being a guy alone they may not do it, but when they see DD's souviners around, I think they leave them because if her.
We are the type that do not spend time at the hotel. We sleep and go out. No pool time, we are always on the go. So we save $$ by going to the value. I stayed ay ASM which was ok too, but I like that POP was newer and that is has it's own buses. Last I knew, the 3 All Stars shared buses and I hated that. The past 3 trips I have gotten a rental car, so I am not up on the Pop buses now- but when I did use them on past trips, they were no problem at all. Except at MK I think, the darn pickup is way at the end... long walk to it.
Oh and on Halloween, we were there before we left for the MNSSHP and POP did a great party. They had music, dancing-a costume parade around the pool area. They had Goofy there too! It was a great thing they did for FREE! I was leaving, but walked through and it looked fun.
Just my 2 cents, maybe others can add theirs too.

We are a family of 3. DD and a I are pretty small so we don't have a problem with the small beds or rooms. We have stayed at POP 3 times and have always gotten great rooms. 50's or 60's but not prefered. DD loves the pools and we love the food court. 
. Some guy came up behind her and started pouring his coffee out of the machine right over her head. I managed to pull her out of harms way just as the coffee sloshed where she had just been standing. I gave him the evil mama bear look and said, is this crappy coffee worth scalding a little child on her vacation to DisneyWorld? He basically told me to F-off and I retorted with a quick, too bad your Daddy didn't. 
Luckily, with Pop being so big, we didn't cross paths again.
