Originally Posted By Labuda Pop is newer than the All Stars, and it shows. Free dining promotion is no longer in effect, so I think you may be best off booking a package through AAA if they can get the Disney Dining Pla with their package. You should be able to get a slightly cheaper price from AAA than you do from Disey, I think. Also, check <a href="http://www.mousesavers.com" target="_blank">http://www.mousesavers.com</a> for other Disney specials & possible price breaks you can take advatange of.

I'm not so sure... but if your not planning on staying in your room much, it will work.. also don't get roped into paying the extra $20 they charge for the 4 closest bldgs, you can be at a adjacent bldg and still be close to the food court and bus line... also there are other pools nearby...

But at the Pop the nicer room decor and beautiful landscaping seemed much closer to the moderate realm. Hey, I was still staying with the cheap folks (after all, I AM a cheap folk!), but it didn't seem like it so much. Still, I'll take the Coronado Springs in a heartbeat!

So let me have it if you must but I'ld much rather let it be water under the bridge so to speak. As far as having fun I believe most of us here are hence the name Laughing Place, why don't you join us there's always room for one more.

Personally, both times I've stayed at Pop, I've been in the 1950s buildings, and really liked it.
