Question Quick POP bus Question!

Hi...First trip staying at POP Century. I've looked at a couple resort maps and it looks like the buses only stop at Classic Hall and not circle throughout the resort. Am I correct?

That is correct. There is one main bus stop at Classic Hall. Hope you enjoy your stay! POP is one of our favorite value resorts!

Correct. You'll need to walk to Classic Hall to pick up the bus in front.

I hear that POP is one of the smallest resorts and that the walk from the buildings at the back are less than 5 min from the main hall ...could be wrong though...my first stay there won't be until January

That's correct, the us stop is on the left end of Classic Hall as you face the building. They are right outside the food court and store basically. The walk from most of the areas of Pop is VERY short because you can always cut through Classic Hall to get out there. We loved our stay there, hope you have fun!

We have stayed there twice (third trip coming)and we loved it. We have stayed in 50s which was a quick walk to Classic Hall. Last trip we stayed in the back building of the 80s. The walk was still quick to the bus stop. We crossed the parking lot and was right there at the bus stop. The way POP is laid out with all of the little cut through pathways, it gives a short walk to the bus stops.

At the end of sept, we stayed at POP for 1st time.

We loved it. The layout is soo easy and short walks from everywhere.

We were in the JUKEBOX building and it was a short relaxing walk to the main building.

U will enjoy POP. very energetic and pools r alot of fun.

We saw a bunny near our room and every morning we saw ducks in the bowling pin pool.

We have stayed at POP twice and found the walk to the bus stop to be 5 minutes or less, like others have said. Enjoy your stay...we think it is the best of the values! And be sure to try the tie-dyed cheesecake at the food court. YUM!!

That's correct.

If you want a room that is (a) not preferred (and therefor cheaper), but (b) still very close to teh bus stops and reasonably close to a pool and the food courts?

Building 9, in the 80's.

If you check the map, you'll see that Building 9 is across just a tiny bit of 90's parking lot from the bus stop. You can request a room close to the bus stop in that building; it's not guaranteed you'll get REALLY close (we were up near the junction - where that circular bit of path is visible, and on the second floor).

The computer pool would be just on the other side of your building from there, and the bus-stop within easy walking distance. Thefood court is a bit further than the bus stop, but, not unmanageably so.

And if you have small children, there's a playground area meant for them, about halfway between Building 9 and the food court in Classics Hall.

So did we ...!

I think they live in the space inside/under the bushes. Best time to catch sight of one seems to be early-ish morning, before the sun is fully up.

Look at the map before you plan your route to the bus stop at Pop. There are some locations where it is MUCH quicker to just go around the outside of Classic Hall to the bus, instead of going through the door.

Hope you have fun!
