We used to go down exclusively in June/July/August. Now we try to hit February, September/October. End of August will be upper 90's on heat and humidity with afternoon showers. If you aren't used to it, you will suffer. By the end of September, the humidity is starting to easy up unless there is a hurricane/tropical storm that comes through.
It’s going to be very hot and humid.
If you want a chance of a lake view then you should book standard and request it. Since you booked standard “pool” view you will be either in the 50’s or 90’s overlooking the pool.
I'd call.
Were the lines right when it opened? This blog post discusses using the Skyliner first thing in the morning. There was definitely a line, but he said it moved pretty quickly. https://blogmickey.com/disney-skyliner-rise-resistance-8am-park-open-feb-2020
This is helpful. Thank you
We have been in August a few times. We call it (and our normal early-September dates) melt-your-face-off hot. If you can handle heat and humidity you can do it. If you can't, I would not recommend going in late August.
Have not experienced but anything I've read and watched online says the lines move quickly and consistently. I heard of someone who was lined up to Hippy Dippy at 7:30 and still made it to DHS before 8am opening at DHS but I would not try it if it were me. Too many variables if you're attempting to get a Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group.
I (obsessively
) follow the RotR Planning no spoiler thread and everything I've read there says that if you're at the Pop bus by 6:45 you will have no problems getting in for rope drop. Personally I'd aim for 6:30 because if I'm going to be there that early I want to be towards one of the lines for a rope drop attraction.And if told no Standard Rooms available then,still ask again at the Front Desk on arrival-we have been able to change room categories several times on arrival.
And then people started making requests for general or specific locations, and Disney realized they have three, then four, general room location descriptions and responded accordingly.Just give Mickey a little time.
He is not adverse to room category changes at Pop Century-when POP opened in 2003,ALL rooms in the 1960s were Preferred and ALL rooms in all other decades were Standard.
So, Standard Pool View. Bookable category, but exact locations are simply requests.
80s, too.
No,not terribly crowded.
Yes, in the 60’s section near Hippy Dippy pool.
Currently under construction although we were told at check-in that it was open
Crossing my fingers it’s open by July.Currently under construction although we were told at check-in that it was open
It will be fir sure!!
Hippy Dippy Pad is nice,but there used to be another really cool one at Surfer Goofy!
FWIW,we were told the Pad would have to be closed from time to time during work on Hippy Dippy because some of the underground pipes are "shared" between the Pad and Pool.Currently under construction although we were told at check-in that it was open
