We just stayed at Pop this past December, but usually stay at the deluxe resorts ( went for a quick 3 night stay for my daughter to perform and couldn't get a room at the deluxe resorts). Pop was fun the minute we walked in to the lobby. The theming in the lobby is nostalgic! Loved looking at all the decades of pop culture. The rooms were nice and clean, beds were comfy, we really experienced no issues. For us, it was a place to crash! Yes, POP does have its own buses for the parks, but be prepared that when you get down to the bus area and find the park bus that you need to get on, you may have just missed the bus, and will have to wait roughly 20-30 minutes for the next one. The cool thing though is that they have tv screens in a few places that tell you when the next bus for that park will run. Just giving you a heads up so you can plan accordingly time wise. Give yourself plenty of time for bussing. Also, be prepared to walk to the very last row of buses at the parks, and to either have to wait for the next bus if it's too full, or ride an overly full bus to get back to the resort. In all, it wasn't a bad experience staying at POP, but I'll take the deluxe resorts over it any day. Also, request the 59's, 60's, or 70's for a room. It's just a bit closer than the 80's or 90's to the main lobby !
