POP Reviews & which bldg to stay in?

[houseofmouse103]

We were thinking about making a non DVC weekend trip in late Oct. and were thinking about staying at POP. We've stayed at All Star Movies & Music and were wondering how it compared? And which non-smoking buildings to stay in that are close to the food court & bus stops. Thanks!

We've stayed at ASMovies and Sports as well as Pop. We really enjoy Pop and are staying there again in May. The cafeteria is really nice - a big selection of items. It's been quite a while since our stay at the All Stars, but I would say the rooms are pretty much the same. We have stayed in the 70s, 80s, and 90 buildings. At first, it seems like a very long distance from Classic Hall (especially the 80s and 90s), but once we learned our way around it wasn't so bad. We did stay in non-smoking buildings, but I don't really know which ones they were. I hope this little bit helps. Pop is a great resort!

If anyone does remember any buildings at Pop that are completely non smoking, please post. I'm getting conflicting reports of whether or not such a thing exists.

First of all to Intercot!! It is such a fun community to belong to.

As far as POP goes, I have some great info that I will send you in a PM that will show you the entire resort layout.

Hope this helps!

ive stayed there 3 times all in the 50s area. the middle building top floor back was best w a view of the lake and fireworks from Illuminations. not far from the main building either. id pick Pop over Allstars anytime

My next stay at POP will be my sixth and I have yet to have any complaints about the resort. It is more centrally located to the parks than All-Stars, being only about 5 minutes from Disney MGM Studios and about 10 to all other parks except MK (which is a longer trip from just about any resort).

If you can, try to get a room in the 70's section, either behind the giant big wheel or Mickey telephone. The section is just a short walk to the front desk, food court, retail store, pool, parking lot and bus stops. The food court has good quality food and a wide selection to choose from. Enjoy your trip!!
