Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

[TropicalDIS]

Did POP still have the H20 bath and body products as the toiletries in the room?

Yes they did!

 

[scrappinginontario]

Yes they did!

I believe the H2O contract is until the end of 2022.

Back from a split stay, POP and POFQ.

We were in the 50's building, so location wise for transportation was pretty good. I like it cold when I sleep, and I did not find the AC worked that great, or at least not as good as POFQ, and there are no ceiling fans in POP, but I was able to get a box fan from the Front Desk, and that was a life saver for me.

Edit to add:

Found the mattress on the regular queen bed to be hard as a rock. The mattress on the pull down bed was better. Had to switch with my wife, as it really bothered me the first night.

That's interesting about the mattresses as both beds have the exact same mattress. Maybe the one on the regular bed was recently replaced and just needs to be broken in.

That was my thought as well.

Hey all, curious about something for our upcoming trip. Do the little refrigerators in Pop rooms have one of those small freezer sections to lets say keep an ice pack in over night to prepare for the next day? If not, any suggestions on how to keep a little cooler bag cold for a day in the parks?

I dont think so, but you could bring ziplock bags and grab some ice from the food court on your way out? Or use a flat tupperware container to make an ice pack?

This and, there are also ice machines in each building.

Ice machines! of course. I completely forgot about those haha. Thanks for the suggestions!

I was going to say that because I thought there were ice machines near each building, but wasn’t sure.

Hi all! First time posting on this thread, but lurked a bit before our quick trip! Just got back from 2 nights at Pop and had a great time. Still my favorite value for sure!

Stayed with my mom and special needs brother. Requested the 50s or 70s section to be close to the Skyliner as walking a long distance would have been doable, but very tough, after a long day at the park. We got 50s - building 3 (room 3311 to be exact) and really liked the location! Overlooked the bowling pin pool, but if you had a room on the other side you would have gotten a lake view. Maybe a 5 minute walk to the Skyliner and to the main lobby. If you have a car, the parking lot is pretty much a straight shot down the path from the building.

First time staying since remodel. Really liked the space, wood floors, the more modern feel and all the outlets! Thought the beds were super comfortable - no complaints there. I do wish there was maybe touch more of Disney? Thought there could have been something on the wall where the TV is. Full size H2O toiletries in the shower, which I like.

DH and I will be going in February and plan on requesting the same building. Fingers crossed!

How close to my reservation should I call to put in a room request? The week of?

I'd recommend about 10 days out. I believe they assign rooms around 7 days out.

 

[scrappinginontario]

I've made requests as much as a year in advance. They add them to your reservation so it can be done at any point. I would do it as early as possible.

We made our room request when we arrived. No issues. Granted, we didn't ask for a specific room, we only gave criteria, but not a single problem getting exactly what we wanted.

I put ours in months before our arrival.

will be staying at pop first time this February.
Can anyone comment about access to the upper floors? I can’t see an any staircases in any pics. are they located at the end of the building? in the center? elevators? Just wondering which rooms are more convenient to get in and out of

There are elevators in the middle of the buildings and staircases at the ends. Being older, we take elevator up and stairs down!

Elevators and stairs in the middle (behind the big icon) plus stairs at the ends (hidden in bowling pins or yoyos).

I saw someone asked about ice cream a cpl. pages back, but I don't think it was answered. - Is there any?

What about Dole Whips?

I don't see an option to order either on the app, but I know at some point they were getting Dole Whips and a long timr ago they had hand dipped ice cream.

Any info. would be appreciated.
