We checked into Pop yesterday, our first time here. Love it so far. We even got a Remy boarding group from the resort wifi.
We check in on Halloween. Do you know if there are any special activities going on there for Halloween? Our 3 granddaughters would love it! TIAWe checked into Pop yesterday, our first time here. Love it so far. We even got a Remy boarding group from the resort wifi.

They have potential to be louder but hopefully in November the crowds at the pool are less due to slightly cooler weather, especially in the evenings. The pool hours may also be slightly shorter in November than they are in the summer.I had to reschedule my October stay and it is now a November one. My room type is now a Preferred Pool View Room. I assume these rooms can be quite loud?
Thanks! It is also a king bed/roll in shower accessible room due to my mobility issues. Based on my research (including your wonderful thread about the rooms!) it is likely to be room #5103 which actually faces the spash pad/kiddie pool rather than the main pool. I really don't plan on spending much time in the room during the daytime.They have potential to be louder but hopefully in November the crowds at the pool are less due to slightly cooler weather, especially in the evenings.

The pro is that they're close to everything!
We love the location of the preferred pool view rooms. Last time, in September 2018, we were on the 2nd floor about midway along the pool and didn’t really notice loud noises. Staying in one again in a couple weeks.I had to reschedule my October stay and it is now a November one. My room type is now a Preferred Pool View Room. I assume these rooms can be quite loud?
I'll qualify by saying I'm not there but we have had many guests report that the food court is open and functioning as normal now with many food stations to choose from. The grab 'n go section is also open.Question for those who are there right now or have been recently. Is it still mostly Mobile Order at the food court or is it easy to just drop in and order like before?
Everything Pop Dining is definitely back to "normal" as of this AM-they did the whole changeover overnight!
It is still just the limited Menu,but I am sure they will add things as time goes on.
It felt a little strange to walk through a line this AM!lol
I don't know if they go below 65 degrees, but that is what ours was set at when we arrived (in mid-Sept.). But I can tell you they do not have motion sensors. It was freezing all night long.I searched for the topic of thermostat settings but was not successful. Hoping since my previous visit that room settings can go lower than 65 degrees and isn’t ‘smart’ to run only when motion is detected?? Does anyone have recent experience? TIA
We were there October 6-10. We set ours at 62.I searched for the topic of thermostat settings but was not successful. Hoping since my previous visit that room settings can go lower than 65 degrees and isn’t ‘smart’ to run only when motion is detected?? Does anyone have recent experience? TIA
Yes, we did Poly twice (7-8 nights), BC once (10 nights) and even GF because that was my mom’s dream (5 nights). I went to Pop on a solo trip and like it so much that we went back as a family (6 nights). We all loved it: Mom, two teens, husband and uncle, so people with different standards and expectations.Has anyone stayed at moderates/deluxes and also POP? I’m booked there for the first time and have always stayed moderate and most recently deluxes for all trips but because it’s a short trip I figured why not.

The vibe is different. The place is whimsical. The food court is efficient. The pools are fun, they don’t have slides but the animation is lively. The rooms are well organized and provide comfy beds and functional spaces. Walking around the lake or flying over it in the gondolas is beautiful. Definitely worth trying.
