Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

We are sitting in the Atlanta airport waiting for our connecting flight to Orlando! Pop here we come!!!! Haven't gotten any room text yet. Hoping we get what we requested or a room/area just as good.

We arrived on Wednesday for a 17-day stay at POP. This was my first time using online check-in, and it worked great! We got exactly what we requested (50's building, 4th floor). By the time our plane landed, we had a text informing us of our room location and that it was ready. About 4 hours later our luggage arrived. We had dinner in the food court the first night we arrived. We enjoyed it. One question I need to ask them is that since I have 2 reservations back-to-back due to the long trip, will the RFID chip in the refillable mug not work after the first reservation ends? Buses have been very good. We've had a great time so far!!

Well today is checkout day for our quick two night pre-criise stay. Before we'd even left our home airport, we had a text telling us our room was ready (10:15am). It was nice to go straight to our room in building 7... Only to find out it was connecting, which we had asked not to have. From the room, we called and got it switched. Ended up in building 9.

Our room does not have a clock but we are super close to the main building, which has been great. No complaints!

Boy is it cold here now! It's supposed to be going down to 33 tonight and with the wind, it's going to feel much colder. Brrrr!

We're really enjoying our stay at Pop. The food we've tried at the food court has all been good, the buses have been great and mousekeeping has been fine. So happy we decided to come back to Pop!

Haven't stayed at POP in many years - like ten! Any major changes to be aware of ? TIA!

We got our mugs last trip at POP and they were good through our split-stay reservations at Poly and BC...

The bar that used to be inside the food court is gone. Goofy's Pop Jets are gone. Mom's night out dinners are gone. Across Hourglass lake sits a prison with no guard towers and no barbed wire.

The split stay won't be a problem as the mugs are good at any and all resorts once activated. However, I think they're only set up for 14 days. I've read that people who have had longer stays just need to have a CM extend the activation for the extra days. You should be able to see the date of expiration when you get a refill.

Does anyone know how much bottled water costs in the store onsite? The only thing we need shipped is water and I don't want to pay $10 for shipping if it would just even out to buy some bottles (or possibly a gallon?) onsite at the resort. If anyone knows or is there that can check, I would really appreciate it!!

It was $16 (or maybe $16.99 -- can't quite tell in the picture) for 24 12-oz bottles of Dasani water when we were at AoA in June.

I'm at Pop now and there are no cases of water for sale in the store. They have individual bottles of Dasani for $2.75 each.

Whoa! Thanks for the post. We will have the refillable mugs, is there water at the stations to fill from?

Yes, there is water at the Pop machines.

You're very welcome. I asked a cast member to be sure, just in case it was there and I missed seeing it. Yes, there's water available at the fountain machines, it's usually a small additional button on the lemonade. Hope that helps!

I asked last month about cases of water and the CM looked at me like I had two heads. She said as far as she knew you could only buy it by the bottle.

I'm going to look into ordering a case of water from Staples, Amazon or Costco. Only 44 days to go for me

Well, they definitely had it at AoA a few months ago (actually, I think someone still reported seeing it as recently as December) and I'm 99% sure I saw it at Pop when we had a meal there in June (that doesn't mean it's still there). I'm guessing the CM is new or at least new to that area. It did seem to be hit-or-miss with resorts having the cases of water over the last year or so. Maybe they phased it out everywhere. We usually bring a case or two with us because we drive (and because I prefer Spring water as opposed to Purified water), but I'm thinking about shipping a case or two down for our next trip just to save some space in the car. I would say that if you definitely want a case of water, it's best to order it or bring it yourself.
