For those who have stayed at Pop Century since the Skyliner went active, how was it?

Looking at going in early March for a quick 3 night stay and the Pop is the best value. Just wondering about the buses and the skyliner.

Skyliner is a breeze and fun.

Pop's buses are great in that they're always a direct route to their destination and not sharing with other resorts. Tied in with the app that tells you when a bus is coming, it saves a lot of time.

Keep in mind that when leaven MK or DAK or DS, you can also get on Art of Animations bus and just walk across the bridge to Pop.

Skyliner is very nice, but it only runs until 10:30 at night. This comes in to play if you attend the Tuesday night EMEs at Epcot. On those nights, if you stay for the duration of the EME (11:00) you'll have to take the bus back to the Resort.
On the last two Epcot EMEs when attended, one in October and the other early his month, Pop shared buses with AoA for the return from Epcot. Additionally, we had shared one MK EME night in October.

Further, it is a common misconception Pop/AoA do not share busing (another popular Blog states only the All-Star share busing). They have been sharing busing to MK, AK, and Epcot more often than the All-Stars. While it doesn't happen much (usually mid day or late in the evening), it seems to have increased now the Skyliner has opened.

We'll be back down the week of the 9th and will update further.

The skyliner is great. Its convenient, comfortable and blazing fast. It only took us 11 minutes from Pop to Hollywood Studios.

However in our case the skyliner extended its hours when Epcot had a EMH. Epcot closed at 10 while the skyliner ran until 11.

Epcot closed at 10:00 for it's EMH? Epcots EMEs are usually 9:00 - 11:00.

The skyliner had been running only until 10:30, so I'm glad to hear it is running until 11:00....it had been mentioned they would extend the hours for the duration of the Epcot EME
