Also, I've tried to get a quote on the official WDW site for a trip in February and it won't let me. Any idea on when they allow people to book for next year from the website? Thanks!

Always took sweatshirts, used them in the shade. I guess i'm saying you never know til you get closer. Crowds were tolerable. I suggest you NOT go to MK on a weekend day or Presidents Day. My understanding about PC is that their buses go straight from the reort to the designated park, where the all stars all share, so you stop at each all star resort before you get where you want to go. Others may have more insight on this. basically it is an awesome time to go. Just enjoy!!

I always carry a sweatshirt/hoodie in my backpack along with a pair of Nike windpants. You can always pull them on if you get cold. I just stayed at Pop for the first time last month. They have their own bus service which means they do not share buses with any of the other Disney resorts. We didn't wait more than 10 minutes for a bus. It wasn't a bad resort. The rooms are a little too small for my taste, but doable none the less.

You might find longer lines when you are returning from the parks rather than leaving. It's great that they don't share their buses with any of the other resorts. Loved it!
