What a wonderful treat for your long flight! You'll arrive well rested and ready to hit the ground running. Have a great trip and stay at Pop!!Arriving for my first stay at Pop tomorrow evening from the UK. I’ve been following these posts for a few years now as it’s always been the plan to stay someday (last time we planned to we ended up upgrading to POFQ, but I still followed this thread). I’m so excited that this trip is actually happening, and for the stay at Pop. To top things off when I did my online check in for my flight I received an upgrade from premium economy to business. Now that’s some serious pixie dust before I even reach Disney
How early did you get to the skyliner at Pop when going for early entry?
I got to the Skyliner about 7:15 or 7:20. Short line to get on. At the hub, there was a bit more of a line, but only down 1 side of the ramp (instead of down, up, down by the Joffrey's). I was walking through the turnstiles at DHS before 8.
There are 3 buildings in the 50's section. Which building were you in and if you don't mind my asking, how long did it take you to walk to the skyliner station? I was in building 2 in October and I felt like it was a pretty long walk. Thanks!
Not the OP but if they were 'right around the corner from luggage check in' then they were in building 1.
I was in building 1, first floor. Literally 3 doors down from the end by the lobby. It was not a long walk to buses, lobby, or the skyliner (although it FELT long when my hips decided to be weird and hurt every 5 minutes.)
Luggage Services is open 24/7.
Unfortunately it's an area where the wait fluctuates. It can be quiet or busy anytime from about 6am to 10pm. One day it's busy at a certain time and the next day that same time can be quiet. Probably the longest I've waited at luggage services was 30 mins but normally it's around 10-15 mins average.
Thanks, that Good to know! I was asking more about the time to estimate from the airport to Pop, though. As an aside- whose idea was it to have a DME and MDE? LOL
I agree! DME and MDE are confusing but sadly only for 31 more days. After Dec 31, 2021 any guests arriving at MCO will no longer be eligible for DME as they are ending their service. Normally the drive portion from MCO to Pop Century is approx. 35-40 mins, often including a stop a Art of Animation first.
Is there a specific competition planned that week? If there are any competitions on Disney property that week then all value resorts may be included in accommodations. They normally stay at the 'All Stars' but, will also stay at Pop Century.
It is running like before but the menus are somewhat reduced. A link to the current menus can be found on page 1 of this thread.
