Returning to Pop for my bday trip in May. I put a request when I made my reservation for a King bed but we want a non-handicapped room. I reviewed the chart on the first page for locations. Did I read it right? King beds/standard rooms are in:

50s Bldg 2
60s Bldg 4
70s Bldg 6
80s Bldg 9
90s Bldg 8

If we do online check in what is the best way to list this as a request?

Thanks, Amy

Looking forward to my trip March 6 thru 12!

I'm going to be decorating my door and window. If you happen to find me feel free to say hi on the board I'm putting on my door.

Two luggage/storage questions:
- After one night at POP, I switch to BLT. I know Disney will transfer the bags for me, but do I need to take them to Classic Hall myself in the morning, or can they be picked up from the room? And if they can be picked up from the room, how early? I would like to get an early start.
- I'm having a stroller delivered on arrival day. Can I leave it with bell services overnight and only pick it up in the morning (as I head to the park)? I have no need for the stroller on arrival day, but want it available first thing the next morning.
Thanks!

Yes, you can call Bell services to come and pick your luggage up from your room. How early will depend on their availabilty that morning when you call. So the earlier you call, the better for you if you want early pick up.
If I were you, I probably wouldn't wait until the morning to pick up the stroller if you want it first thing. Bell services can be very busy at that time. I would go grab it shortly before bed. It'll also give you the chance to make sure it was delivered! Just my .02. But that way you're not held up trying to get your day at the park started!

Just booked POP for April 17-19.

It's our second time at POP; last time was a quick trip in 2010. Visiting the kids' great-grandparents in Cape Coral, FL and I couldn't resist a quick side trip to see the Flower and Garden Festival and the FLE at MK. Wish it were longer, but 2 nights at POP is better than none!

Quick question: Have any of you POPers traveled to HDDR from POP? I am surprising my kids with it on our first night. (last show @ 8:30) I will have a car, so could drive and then take the FW bus. Do you think that would be faster than bus to MK, then boat to FW? OTOH, maybe I should use Disney transportation and have a couple glasses of sangria? Any thoughts?

We are returning to POP this coming November 17th! We have never flown to Disney World before as we are usually traveling with 10+ people! This time though it is just my partner and I so we will be flying! The flight we are trying to get will have us at POP around 1 pm. If for some reason our room is not ready by then is there somewhere we can leave our carry-ons so we can head right to the parks or do we need to pack light as we will be carrying them with us to the parks if our room is not ready?

We are so excited to be coming back to POP! We were there December 2010 and absolutely loved it. We had thought of upgrading to POFQ, but love POP so much we have decided not to!

You can leave your carry-ons with Bell Services.

Thank You! That is what I thought, but I wanted to be sure!

Does anyone know if they still bring out big wheels for kids to ride on in the afternoon near the 70's buildings? I read somewhere that this is one of the organized afternoon activities they do for kids at Pop and I know my 4 and 6 year olds wouldn't want to miss out on that

10 Days 'till Pop!

When I made the reservation, I requested a King room and the agent suggested I request 50s building 3, based on the things I had mentioned were important to us.

Should I do online check-in now or wait until we get to the hotel? Is there a better chance of getting what we requested if we wait to check in at the hotel?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help with this question!

Whether you do online check-in or not has zero affect on whether you get your requests met.

King rooms in building 3 are handicap accessible.

Does that mean that they won't assign me one? Or is it an undesirable room?
