So spent week at Coronado and it was wonderful and moved over to Pop for 3 nights just to take advantage of the Skyliner….obviously when you visit Fla this time of year it’s with the understanding that you will prob at some point experience thunder storms or even a hurricane which will impact use of skyliner…however our experience today was really aggravating parks have early opening at 8:30 but the skyliner doesn’t begin until 7:30 am. This morning at 8:00 am the line waiting for the skyliner stretched all the way back to the farthest bowling pin (bldg 2) and then curved around. After waiting 30 min we gave up and went to front of lobby to get an Uber along with a hoard of others who had same idea. One CM told us problem was that resort didn’t expect so many guests which is ridiculous as they know exactly how many guests are at resort! Finally another CM told us that they were short handed as many CMs called in for whatever reasons…this would appear to be the case as there were definitely not as many around skyliner area as usual. There was no separate line for handicapped and it was just a mess all around. We are also disappointed with housekeeping the toilet wasn’t working and there were no wash cloths and candy wrappers and popcorn under the bed. We booked a Preferred room as there was no Standard option availability when I booked or when we checked in and I got the room I hate the most ground floor in building 5 which is great location but it’s right next to that little circular area where they park their little trucks with lots of noise and people talking outside your room beginning before 6am And continuing throughout the day. You would think you would have a decent view with a preferred room but apparently view has nothing to do with it as what they go buy is the distance from room to lobby. So the nicest rooms are actually the Standard rooms with a lake view. Anyway this afternoon I heard a woman outside my door very upset apparently her little one got ahead of her and ran smack into the wall outside my room which had just been painted bright yellow he was covered head to foot with paint. We’ve been disappointed in general with Disney lately and have such mixed feelings about all the new plans they are announcing this week…meanwhile the tye-dye cheese cake that used to come in nice slices than was put in bowls is now served in very small plastic cups. When we visited last Spring the food in food court was served on paper plates and now it’s just put in a small flimsy cardboard open container or box smaller portions. Some dessert items such as the Halloween Whoopie Pie is served on a small flimsy paper plate and when I asked for a plastic container like the ones used for some of the cupcakes I was told they can’t do that any more I was finally given a container after I wasn’t going to buy the dessert without the container but I had to really insist…the Magic is still around but there is a lot of obvious penny-pinching going on. One thing for sure the Magic of the CMs is still there
PS (I bumped into the corner of the bed HARD!)

I really don't want to deal with the headache of rescheduling everything again.
The front desk number ending in 4011 worked though! A CM picked up right away.
We'll be coming from Port Canaveral on a Sunday and we'll probably have to drop our bags off with bell services because we will get there before our room is ready. We plan to do a monorail crawl from there and I have the silliest question. How do we get to the monorail from Pop to start our crawl? 
Thanks!
