| DH and I stayed at POP on 12/8 to 12/19. We stayed at room 2303 (located in the 50's section, building B, third floor, view of the bowling pin pool). We were upgraded to a king size bed, with the Epcot view (building B & C is known for having the Epcot view). We were close to the pool, but were high enough to not hear any noices at night. We were also close to the front desk/food court/bus transportation.
I faxed them a room request to POP three days before our arrival. I wrote a long poem, asking for a king size room with an Epcot view. We had the option of getting a refridgerator, but we declined because were didn't need a fridge. We checked into POP around 7:30-8am. The one thing I disliked about POP was there were no bellboys. DH and I had tons of luggage and we're struggling to move all of our luggage and no one was willing to help you out.
The resort was clean I would say 95 percent of the time. There was some minor refurbishment going around through the park, but it never effect our stay. Their food court wasn't bad. Personally, I thought some of the food was too over priced, but nothing jaw dropping. There was a huge selection of food, and plenty of alternative food sections. The gift shop was decent, but I don't like the fact that it's right in the middle of the food court.
POP was a bit disappointing when it came to bus transporation. There were numerous times when you'll be waiting 30-45 until a bus arrives. This was a huge problem at Epcot and DTD/PI. During the Christmas season, the resort will play various Christmas music--which can be very nice--but will get on your last nerve in several days. They consitantly played the same track non-stop, which I'm sure drove the CMs crazy!!! The resort was beautifully decorated in Christmas decorations.
Overall, DH and I enjoyed our stay. If we were going to stay at a Value Resort again, it would be POP hands down.
