Pop Century here we come!

Pooh Fan · 08-30-2006

Well, after booking our airline tickets which we got an awesome deal on, we had to add 2 days to the beginning of our trip. What a shame. HaHa. We have decided to give Pop Century a try for those 2 nights and then move over to the Beach Club Villas where we had our original reservations. I am a little nervous changing resorts during the trip. It was stressful enough last trip when we had to move three times at the same resort since our stay was so long.I had to share my excitement with someone and DH was so excited that he fell asleep before I had even finished booking the flights.

I LOVE POP CENTURY!!!!!!!!!!!It's so cool!

bali · 08-30-2006

Pooh Fan, that's our trip, too! We're staying at Pop Century for the six nights I had to add on for my work conference, and then moving over to Beach Club Villas for the final 10 nights (our original vacation booking).

dznygrl · 08-30-2006

Hooray! That sounds like a blast!

I was just looking at pictures of Pop Century today, it looks like so much fun.

I would love to stay there. I even used a Pop pic as our desktop, just cuz I love planting the bug in DH's ear about how much I want to go to WDW. (Not that he doesn't already know, believe me!

)

I hope you guys love it!

SIXTEEN NIGHTS IN DISNEY WORLD?!?!

(I did just notice that your countdown says "half a month").

I am so jealous Bali, that is awesome! I didn't realize you added almost a full week at POP onto your trip!

Yes Ma'am!! Too cool, eh?? The work conference is only 4 days, but there's a weekend in the interim and it wouldn't make sense to fly home and then fly back down...

.

What's great about it is that roomie and I had planned on a 10-day trip last October, but then her pesky breast cancer showed up the week before our trip (

). This time, praying all is well on the health front, we're going to celebrate not only a long trip to the World, but also the end of this crappy year!!

I have had to move too! It took us a little while.

iluvwdw · 08-31-2006

I stayed at three resorts over 9 days. And moving was TOTALLY fine! Even though they will move everything for you, we had a car so it was much easier to move everything ourselves.

It's SO GREAT to be adding days to your vacay!

MerlinMatt · 09-01-2006

In 2004, we did an 8 day trip with 2 nights at PC, 2 nights at the Contemporary and then 3 nights back at the PC.

Moving bags was really easy. The only thing you need to know is that at the Values, they move the bags on their schedule. At the other resorts, they may or may not deliver the bags to your room before you get there (I think the baggage folks would prefer to deliver bags when someone is there to receive them to improve their odds at getting a tip.)

All in all however, I think Disney does a wonderful job at helping you transfer between resorts.

E&B's Mom · 09-01-2006

I wouldn't worry about changing resorts. It sounds pretty simple. I usually like to stay put and be able to relax, but it is only a couple of days at the beginning of the trip, and the extra hassle means that you'll be able to enjoy the magic for two extra days. So, I think it's worth it.
