You're doing great! Pop is a fun hotel, have you ever stayed there before?

No we havent stayed there. I havent been to WDW for 15 years or so. My husband went with some friends and stayed at All Star Sports and I think Wilderness Lodge. Pop looked fun and I liked the idea of the dedicated bus line.

Today's deposit:
$6--found a cheaper haircut place. Liked the haircut and got a $3 off coupon for next time. ;D $20--from DH. Says he will put in $20 each payday. This is the first one. Will see if it continues. $112--took rolled change to bank yesterday. Have no idea how many months worth of change it was, but it had definitely been collecting for a long time.
So now I am at $550/1400!!!

We like POP the best out of the value resorts. Just make sure you request a prefered room or you could end up at the back of the resort.
Great Deposit!!

They asked that when I booked and I went with standard because we wanted the 80's building and they didnt have any preferred rooms available. But when I told DH that meant a 10-15 minute walk to the busses and food court, he said change it!! So I take it, you think it's worth the $50 to stay closer?? Guess I will be calling tomorrow.

I think so. We have stayed at POP twice. Once during our 15th Anniv. where we had a closer room and the other time with my parents toward the back. To me it is worht it!

If you have someone in your party that is physically handicapped, it's worth it to pay extra for preferred. Otherwise, don't bother! 10-15 minute walk to the buses/food court? No way. Five minutes max. I've stayed in both the 80s and 50s sections. The resort is not that big!

Thanks for the info. I think we will be fine with anything. I did call this morning and request building 9 since it was closer than the other 80's building.
Today's deposit: Ran errands today and REALLY wanted a cherry limeade from Sonic, but I drank my water instead. $3 Gift from grandma for the Disney Fund $20
So now I am at $573/$1400 Side note: I got the Mickey head paint samples from Home Depot. So cute and perfect for a Disney countdown. I forget where I saw that tip so I thought I'd pass it on here.
