I have stayed at POFQ more times than any other resort - I think of it as "home" - for the reasons you mention. I was at POP Sept '21 only because POFQ was closed.Its funny you say this because I was at POP for my January trip and I'm so happy I'm going to be at POFQ for my September trip. While I liked the room itself at POP and the convenience of the skyliner, I found myself completely unimpressed otherwise and I'm looking forward to a much quieter environment of FQ as well as the much smaller size.
Hi @okw19!!!! and Welcome in to our September 2022 Group. Sounds like a great trip in the making. I know my family has escaped a couple of hurricanes in our past trips at Disney. Most of the time it was a week or two after we had completed our trip. I will add you to the countdown list and when you have decided on the resort I will add that also. Will "see" you soon here on our Group!!!!Hi everyone! Tentatively planning a trip for Sept 23-Oct 2. We haven't been since the same week in 2019 due to the pandemic. I remember being so anxious about hurricane season last time! Hoping that it all works out.
Will be deciding where to book over the coming week, and then I can start stalking airfare and rental cars!

I hope the transportation gets better - when I was there in December it had only been open about 5 weeks - because it was terrible. And the food choices weren't unique anymore. You get pretty much what is offered at other resorts including the values. I missed the biscuits and gravy they used to serve at breakfast and the fried chicken and greens for dinner. But the pot roast and green beans were great! I hope that it gets better because POFQ is such a great resort.
Welcome to the September 2022 Group @#1Disfann!!!! So Glad you joined us!! What a great celebration your group is going to have !!!!! And lots more to celebrate on your upcoming trip It sounds like such a magical trip with everything you have been through. Pop Century is such a great resort to have that celebration at, nice pool, skyliner, skyliner and I love the skyliner! (lol) We look forward to you planning here in the days to come. I will add you to our homepage countdown list!Add me to the list please! We will be there September 6th - 13th at Pop. It will be me, my BFF of 40+ years, my daughter and her BFF!

Lots to celebrate on this trip! Looking forward to the planning! 201 days to go!
to the September 2022 Group @KT0191 !!!! We are glad you joined us!!! Such a fun trip you have planned with the 9 and 5 year olds. Seeing Disney through the eyes of children is one of the best experiences ever. Pop Century is very popular for our September Group here. You staying in Preferred is extra special..........It is such a nice resort with all it has to offer. We stayed there one night in 2020 prior to our Poly reservation and me and my husband loved it there. The food was really good at the food court. I will add you to our Countdown list and look forward to planning with you as we countdown our September trips.Officially booked! We are part Aug/part Sep (Sat 08/27-Sun 09/04) at Pop in a preferred. It will be me, my son (9), my best friend and her daughter who is turning 5 on the trip
Hi @ GoofyCdn!!!! Welcome in to the September 2022 Group!!! Sounds like a Celebration for lots of reasons for your family!!! and A spilt stay at two wonderful resorts sounds like a magical trip. Port Orleans French Quarter is small, fun and very accessible and then Animal Kingdom Lodge with Savanna View is just the best with the views. Your family has lots to plan for and we are glad you joined us. Maybe a Halloween Party ?? We all hope it will happen and I will add you to our countdown list.Hi Everyone. We have a trip planned but it's still up in the air if it will actually happen.
When are we going? Sept 4-6 POFQ and 6-10 at AKL
Who's going? Wife and myself, and we are bringing our son's family. Son has been many times, but daughter in law and granddaughter have never been. Granddaughter's birthday is a couple weeks after we go so it will be great for her to celebrate while in Disney. Daughter in law's favorite holiday is Halloween and we have never been during the Halloween season at Disney. And lastly, since we are DVC we got them a savanna view room at AKL for their stay.
Always great to experience new things at Disney, even if you've been many times.
I know this far out it’s all speculation… but just for fun, what do we think will happen with the Halloween party?
I’m wondering whether they bring it back at all, if they’ll keep the prices as high as the boo bash, and how this will interact with extended evening hours?
If they bring the parties back on the same nights as 2019, that will conflict with the current Wednesday MK EE… will they pick another MK night? Do less parties? Rethink the parties altogether for something they can keep charging more for?
Oooh good points. I wonder if EE would be better for the first timers in my party than a Halloween AH event then if it’s less crowded.
Touring Plans just released their first projections for Sept. Most days are now 2 with weekends at 3.
Welcome to the September 2022 Group @Minnie's House!!!! Wonderful celebrations for you and your family on your trip. Disney World celebrations are extra special there!! Now I hear Guardians of the Galaxy is opening in May and we can all enjoy on our September trips I will add you to our countdown list and look forward to planning with you. We are Happy you joinedWe finally booked! 9/17-9/24 at SSR. So excited to finally have a trip planned.
we’ll be there for our 10th wedding anniversary and my daughters birthday
Happy to joint the group!!
I suspect Sept will be crazy busy this year. The first week of December - usually a slow time - was stupid crowded. TP crowd levels were typical - some 3's, a few 4's and a 6 and 7 on the weekends - but because of staffing (I assume) the lines were long everywhere. MK on a "3" day the line for People Mover was 45 minutes - most of the day. I never got near the 120 minutes Jungle Cruise line.I got an email over the weekend with updates to my tracked days. Looks a little higher, hopefully nowhere near what January was.
