    Pop Century renovation schedule

    Pretty sure all rooms are renovated in 80’s & 90’s. Preferred rooms would put you closer to Classic Hall though. Not sure if all 70’s is done. They were still working on part of 60s when we left on 3/18. Working backwards thru the decades. I ended up calling about 5 days before our trip &...

    Pop Century renovation schedule

    We were in building 5, ground floor 60s way down toward the end as you walk toward Generation Gap bridge that crossed to AoA. Loved the room & the location. Ours was preferred, not pool view. Too close to the pool can get noisy. I don’t mind upper floors, but prefer not using the elevators...

    Pop Century renovation schedule

    We had preferred. I just took a look & Deuce is correct, the building opposite 5 in the main 60s area (where hippy dippy pool is) is completely closed. You can see something posted in all the windows. We noticed one day when we woke up late (around 11 a.m.) that there were a lot of construction...

    Thank you so much Aksmom! We are having a blast! I only had a little trouble conquering World Showcase on day 2. It gets me every time. I got a second wind and we spent all day in MK today. Beautiful weather, like having natural AC. Saw HEA for the first time. Tomorrow we will experience FOP...

    Do you use park hopper is it really worth it?

    We had only used hopper years ago on a 4 day trip, just as a way to cram it all in. They happened to be comp tickets, so no charge to me. Other than that I was a firm believer in sticking to one park. We would do a min 5 day trip. Spending 2 full days in MK and a day each in the other parks. AK...

    Aksmom, I think you will be fine and chances are looking good for getting a refurbished room. I was very pleasantly surprised when I received our room assignment today. We don’t arrive until after 9pm, but received our assignment before 2pm via text. I had signed up for this when we did online...

    You should get a preferred room. That would guarantee being nearer to the main building. We have stayed in 70s & 60s many times. Have also done 90s and requested neat transportation. That way even the standard room isn’t far from the main building, but there is no guarantee then.

    How and when are rooms assigned?

    Okay, I guess I’m still talking. My original flight was going to have us there after 3pm, so I think we may get the notification sooner. It’s all good. We are in no hurry. Will be great to be on Spring Break.

    How and when are rooms assigned?

    It’ll all be fine. We go every year and have never had a problem. I’ve just gotten a little over excited because of Pop renovations. Thought the thread was interesting, but now regretting posting in my excitement. It was an older thread and I seem to have ruffled the original poster’s feathers...

    How and when are rooms assigned?

    Not till 9pmish. I did online checkin, so we will get a text letting us know what our room assignment is. We bypass the front desk.

    How and when are rooms assigned?

    Wow, sounds like you are due for a Disney break. I had never called with a room request before. It seems like a fairly common thing. And yes I have paid for a preferred room. Big deal. I don’t see anything unusual about anticipating what room we’ll get. It is all part of the pre-trip excitement...

    Pop Century renovation schedule

    They’ve worked backwards starting with the 90s. 80s and 90s have been done for a while now. So requesting one of those will get you a renovated room. I assume if they’ve begun 60s, then 70s must be completed as well? A good tip: if you don’t want to pay extra for preferred location (closer to...

    Pop Century renovation schedule

    Thanks for the updates. As I said, I did call and ask for a renovated room, so we shall see. We arrive Sunday (3/11) night. I got a little worried bc I was requesting 60s as my room location via online check in. I started to think I might be pushing my luck since 60s is still being worked on and...

    By October renovations should be completed and you should be in a newer room regardless of it being standard or pool view.

    How and when are rooms assigned?

    I just called and put in a room request. I think I blew it. The CM I spoke with did not seem very enthusiastic. I had already completed my online check in with highest floor and 60s requests. Just a warning, the online check in editing option seems to lock in a little over a week before your...
