Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

[mommy2mrb]

@StageTek how do you make your own pods?

@RADOPT one queen/one queen Murphy bed
Or one king but those are very limited.

How does the mobile offering work for ordering ahead for breakfast? Not being being able to see the menu at this time. Also if we want to eat around 9-10. How long in advance do we need to order? Where is the food picked up?

 

[Heelish]

There may be basically three stations, but there are actually five. All open all day.

Doesn't fresh, made to order food make more sense than stacks of precooked burgers or whole pizzas, from both the customer perspective and to avoid any food waste? It's not as if food is handed to the customer in the same order it wasvordered. If you're five people behind me, but your Monster Slice of pizza is ready before my whole pizza, they don't make you wait until my order and the three behind me are ready. Just like any other pizza restaurant.

Okay, yeah. When you (seemingly regularly) go to a restaurant when a couple of hundred others tend to visit, you need to expect a wait.

Fixed it for you.

In an ideal world, they would set up a bar somewhere around Classic Hall...

Other people have mentioned their bad experiences on this 800 page thread as well. Same issues I had.

 

[WEDWDW]

Anyone remember years ago when there was a bar inside??

Most definitely,as well as Frozen Coke,Surfer Goofy Splash Pad and Surrey Bike rentals.

Also, is opting out of housekeeping still an option?
Thanks!

Yes, you can do this at the check-in desk on the day of your arrival.

I can't decide if we should opt out of housekeeping or not. Half the time I find they don't get to our room before we come back from the parks (we are early risers, back by lunch) anyway, so I wonder if I should take the gift cards. But I do think the beds made, trash taken out, etc. Decisions, decisions... lol

I think it comes down to would you have good use for the money you save. If you aren't staying for a very long time it doesn't amount to much, but if you are staying more than a week then that could be a nice meal or souvenirs! Personally I like the idea of having things replaced and limiting the amount of stress (anxiety in reality) of having to talk to people to get more items lol. We have always had luck with mouse keeping coming when we aren't there though.

For me it depends on the situation. Last year I stayed for five nights with my husband, and we refused housekeeping since we figured with the second bed up anyway there wouldn't be much for them to clean up - we called for extra towels once and that was solid. Before that I was just there for a long weekend where we knew we wouldn't be in the room enough to really need housekeeping. But this year I'm going with a different crew of pals that'll need the second bed, so we won't be refusing it at all.

My daughter and I go for 10 nights. Even though we use both beds we take the $90GC. It makes a nice dent in the cost of our dining tips. I do pack a dry swiffer as it weighs next to nothing and I can easily run it around the floors.

stayed at Disneyworld 10+ times with POP being 4 of them and never had an issue with the food court.. I have had issues at All Star at the height of summer and CB as they only had two members of staff on that one pay desk..

We only stay 6 nights and the way I see it $50 isn’t going to make or break my vacation. I babysit grandkids 10 hours a day/5 days a week and then go home and cook a 3 course dinner every night. Husband is a very picky eater who likes a “real” protein/starch/veggie dinner when he gets home. He works extremely hard and he deserves it. I quit working full time in 2011 to babysit grandchildren. I can count on 1 hand how many times we go out to eat in a year. My weekends are spent running errands, doing laundry, and cleaning house. I’m on vacation and I think it’s nice to have someone take care of our room and believe me, I appreciate it. It’s nice to have somebody take care of me for a few days.

We most definitely will on our next trip. Last time we couldn't because of how our TA booked it. I'll take the $50 and put it toward something else!

For us it's $120 (2 rooms, 7 nights) which makes it even more appealing! I think it'll be a game day decision for us. lol

New family pizza deal. Started today. 29$.

We usually got the pizza for late night swimming at once! That stinks it’s not on the Dining Plan. I noticed that the other value resorts have this pizza too but you can order a “slice” which looks to be about a 1/4 of this pizza with a small salad so not too bad. My kids love pizza so hopefully there will still be an option for individual meals.

You get paid or compensated to opt out of house keeping?

 

[billlaurie]

You get paid or compensated to opt out of house keeping?

Yes. $10 for each night except the first night of your stay. We did it at CSR in June.

 

[Erinmc3]

We just checked in tonight and all went perfectly well. Just an FYI they literally change the pizza they serve here yesterday. They no longer have that round family pizza but instead a family meal for $29 that is a large square pizza, breadsticks and ceaser salasd. And it is not part of the dining plan. It’s actually a good cash deal for a family we were full for a family of four and had extra.

I do have a question though the Murphy bed sheeting does not have a top sheet. Is that normal? Last year I recall both beds have the same type of cheating the bottom sheet the blanket in the top sheet that almost made it like a duvet did they forget it or is the Murphy bed not as nice as the real bed?

I thought the same thing about the pull out bed. We also did not have a top sheet on it when there last week.

@StageTek how do you make your own pods?

Well, I'm glad you asked....

Maybe I can get a few views.

 

[mommy2mrb]

Thanks for sharing @Stage Tek

I still miss those frozen Cokes! We'd get them every night after our days in the parks.
