Thank you everyone for the great tips. I haven't been since I was in my teens and we want to try and be organized and make the most of every park.

We did make a few reservations already.

Thanks again for all the good info from everyone!!

That's where we stayed in December. We loved it!

Ask if you can stay in one of the closer buildings (I believe the closest ones are 13, 14, and 18) because the others are quite a walk.

Also make sure you take the boat to/from Downtown Disney. Very fun!

Um your going to have to go to Boatrwrights at Port Orleans to try the tonga toast. It is so good. We go over there every year to have it. They have it at Konas at the Polynesian too but boatwrights is the best

What gets me (and I hope I don't scare the OP.

) is how it rolls around first and THEN goes into the elevator corridor.

At what point does it hook onto whatever it has to hook onto so that it doesn't come crashing down?!

I've done the less intense (green) version but not the more intense (orange) version. I'm to freaked out!

We didn't ride on it last time and I'm glad because we really didn't know what it was. Hubby would of gotten sick all over me. Not to be real gross...okay to be really gross they say so many people have gotten sick on that ride that they could fill Spaceship Earth (Epcot ball) up with vomit.

Eww.

I read somewhere that the inside of the building (or maybe the ride vehicles?) smells bad because of all the vomit remover/cleanser (whatever it's called) they use.

Rides like that freak me out because it's enclosed and spins in circles so if someone throws up then.... well.. you get my drift.

Tillys_mom · 02-03-2008, 04:52 PM

Yuck! I'm always scared of rides like that too. I'm sure we are making this a ride everyone wants to try out.

Not to take over the thread but has anyone stayed at Pop Century? We've always stayed at CBR and we are wondering what the values are like. I know we will like CBR better but we wanted to have more money for some other parts of the trip. I was hoping for a code to come by our name so we could get a discount and stay at CBR but no luck of that yet.

I have! We are staying there again (for one night) when we go in March.

It was the nicest of the values that I have stayed at (all except Music)! The theming is a little tacky- but very Disney.

The food court was OK- some parts like the drink station were kind of dirty and the floors were sticky throughout our stay. I didn't like how one of the pools was right next to the main building. A lot of people would come from the pool to get drinks, food, etc. without any shoes or cover ups on!

The buses were also a little bit of a problem but not to bad. Overall, it was great for the price!

Well that makes me feel better. That's gross on the no shoe thing. I never walk around without shoes and at least socks in the room. You never know. I'm hoping it isn't very busy with it being spring break time. I want to stop by the ocean on our way home but want to find a place where it isn't full of traditional spring breakers. I want to relax, not party. That's a vacation to me.

You are going at the end of March, right? I think most spring breaks are before Easter so I wouldn't worry about it to much.

Yeah, we arrive on the 30th.

Make sure that if you plan a dinner out, take the kids to the Hoop De Doo Review at Fort Wilderness, it is a BLAST!

as others have said, use FASTPASS, it is great, have one of you stand in line with the kids and the other go the next ride for a FASTPASS, this works great!

the extra hours are super!

The Pop Century is a great place if you are a true Disney Lover! You arent in the room long enough to really make a difference anyhow and it leaves more $$ for spending.

We have stayed at all classes of hotes and the Wilderness Lodge is by far the most WONDERFUL place ever! but we have gone several times since then and enjoyed the trip just as much at all Disney Resorts... Remember, this is Disney and they do it right everytime... LOL

go to MOUSESAVERS.com, it is a great site and they have a newsletter that will often send coupons and "secret" specials..

Check your schedules and use the water transportation as often as possible, it is really fun and rather quick.

Good Luck! and have a great time! We will be there again May 24... staying at Pop Century again(family suite).... cant wait to get there again!
