Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

80s, too.

Correct, although there are only about 2 or 3 rooms at the very end on each floor at the furthest end closest to the 90’s that are considered standard pool view.

I don’t believe this is fully correct. The lime green lines below indicate the standard pool view rooms. Last year my cousin stayed in the room at the top of the 80’s section right line and they were in a standard pool view room. They were an entire wing away from the 90’s section.

They haven't re-categorized CBR, either. I think they've taken care of it by simply raising rates for all rooms at Pop, but that's just my opinion.
Here's a helpful map to see where the standard rooms are:

This was the splash pad I remember when we went 10 years ago. The next time we stayed there this had closed. I don’t remember seeing another one there. My youngest will be excited for a splash pad!

I was going by Touring Plans room locater. If you search for standard pool view rooms that is what shows availability.

My recollection is that it's more of a kiddie pool, but I could be misremembering.

Some Guests call it a Pool,some a Pad.

When will hippy dippy pool be re-opening?

When will hippy dippy pool be re-opening?

Date was never officially announced. I originally thought April but someone recently heard it could’ve May. We probably won’t know until we see it filled and guards on duty.

So are those pool view rooms still being charged at rate for “pool view” or just preferred until pool opens? Just asking as I have a preferred room booked for 4/29-5/4 and would like to request room near main bldg. and Skyliner if possible.

That I’m not sure about. Those rooms are still great location rooms due to their proximity to transportation and Classic Hall.

Has anyone here stayed in a Preferred Pool View Room and paid for that category since Hippy Dippy Closed in Jan?

Checked in on Tuesday. We have 4 rooms and were able to get skyliner view for all of us on 3rd floor of the 60s building 4. We LOVE the view and watched the Epcot fireworks with the skyliner in the foreground. It was amazing.

If they are charging Pool View,I am sure a quick chat with a manager would reverse that charge.

Well...don’t they still have a view of the pool?

I‘m in need of some help. We are arriving in a week. We had a split stay originally because I could not get us into Pop for the first 2 nights. Well today they became available. My tickets are attached to the first part of my reservation, which is now changed to Pop from ASMu. So I have 2 separate reservations at Pop. Same room category. A notation was put in to see if we could stay in the same room, but no guarantee. Should I fax a request? If so, where can I find the number and who do I make the ATTN to?

Edit: Guest services was able to change it all over to one reservation. WDW customer service is really unparalleled. Got a little pixie dust also...they were able to give me my original gift of magic offer even though that offer expired yesterday. Wasn’t expecting that at all!

What room numbers are you in? Sounds like the perfect location!

3rd floor of building 4 facing the lake.

It is the perfect location!

This location is our favourite too although we haven’t been placed there in a few years. Hopefully in September!

I was just able to get a preferred pool view room for my trip in May on a third-party site, so I'm considering switching from All-Star Sports for a substantial amount more money. Will the pool be re-opened by then?

Is there a reason for choosing floor 3 instead of floor 4?
