If you want to do FoP at rope drop I read report of people going in at 8:30 for a 9 AM opening. I would not chance it if I didnt have a fastpass I would take the 7 AM busWe are going to animal kingdom tomorrow and thinking we should be at the bus stop at 7:30 to get there for opening. Is this good??

Since when are ALL disney property guests slobs.....oh wait I read about and argued with some of them on the closed thread about this. Ones that apparently don't pick up after their kids anyway and expect housekeeping to pick up everything after them.
I'm sorry, but we are 2 adults that clean up after ourselves, don't leave trash and crumbs and dirty diapers lying around and don't NEED someone making our bed or changing sheets everyday. We are capable of doing that on our own.
As always, if they are so concerned about hours and tips being cut and can't make ends meet with their money, then they need to change jobs/companies. And I see that to ANYONE complaining about money and their job.
Are you able to get clean sheets if you opt out of housekeeping?
Building 8
The coffee maker is one with the soft mesh pods, right? I find it hard to find them in stores. I'd still rather have a coffee maker!We are at the POP now in a remodeled room (beautiful) AND I was happy to find a coffee makerin our room.
80's in late August? Quite likely. 70's? No.Hi! Are there any refurbished rooms in the 80's or 70's buildings at Pop? I know the 90's are already refurbished. Going in late August to Pop. Thx.
My sis-in-law just txted they did a scavenger hunt at POP, looked like a map and you find the icons then get a little prize, they picked yo-yos. Anyone know when this started as I don't remember seeing it before?
Did they do it on a Friday-it is part of Flashback Fridays,but they could be expanding it to other days.My sis-in-law just txted they did a scavenger hunt at POP, looked like a map and you find the icons then get a little prize, they picked yo-yos.

I find it amusing that Disney is using an old "drug term"-"FLASHBACKS"(see LSD) for their Friday promotion!lol

Actually if you research their history you will see that they were supposed to be sister hotels. Pop was the late part of the era and where AoA was it was supposed to be the earlier half, up to the 50's. If you look at an areal view you will see where the mermaid suits are the roof is a different color because those were actually completed before the crash. They completed the rest much later and decided to go into a different direction.No, this is considered pool hopping and it is not allowed. The 2 resorts are joined by a bridge but they are not formally linked in any way so guests at each resort may only swim in their own pools.
I requested a refurbished room for my July trip through Touring Plans fax service and did not get my request. They did upgrade me to a preferred room in the 70's section, room 6111, which was an awesome location, so I wasn't too upset about not getting my request. At that time, only the 90's building was done, so by November you should have a much better chance as more buildings will be done by then.Does it seem that most people on this board that have requested a refurbished room has gotten one? My wife and I are planning an anniversary trip in mid November and Pop still has a good deal going, but my 6'2" self needs a queen bed.
I stayed in the 70s, very close to Classic Hall, in March and I thought the unrefurbished room I was in was great. It all depends on your priorities. POP is not a huge resort, so if you can walk an extra 5 minutes or probably even less to the bus or Classic Hall, and want a refurbed room, no big deal. If every minute counts, the unrefurbed room is perfectly fine. For me, I prefer a room as close as possible to the buses/lobby (knee acts up sometimes), so I paid for a Preferred Room and it was worth it to me.We are staying at Pop in early September. Is it better to try and request a refurbished room even though they are farther away from the buses and main hall. Is it a super far walk to the buses from these rooms? Or is it better to try and get closer. I assume the unfurbished rooms that are closer like 50's and 60's are still nice, they just don't have the coffee makers and refrigerates and larger beds?
No coffee , no queen beds, but old rooms do have fridge.We are staying at Pop in early September.
