We are in the same boat. DVC members usually staying at poly or AKL now. We stayed in values years ago, but not in a long while. We used up all of our points in April and then my family (parents and sisters) booked free dining at POP for fall. My kids really wanted to go with their cousins. The problem is it’s not really in the budget to go back that soon, but after running numbers, we figured out we could if we stayed at POP. So we decided it’s better than not going at all and are keeping our expectation low. I figured we will have a new appreciation for our DVC membership by the end of the tripWe are DVC members so usually stay at a DVC resort. Due to bad planning on my part, I completely didn’t take into account that there is a Run Disney event during our dates and all DVC properties are booked up. I’ve set up a waitlist but not holding much hope for that so have booked a 3 night stay at Pop Century.
So, my question is will I be disappointed with Pop? I’ve stayed at Deluxe and Mods so am now worried that pop will feel a bit of a let down. Honest opinions would be appreciated.
This is exactly how I’m looking at it. This is a bonus trip to see toy story and go with family, and it’s better than not going at all. We were just there in April for 10 days. The fact is It’s pop or nothing. We will be back at AKL next year. I’m actually seeing the advantages of values. We are big quick service people and we are looking forward to the huge food court. Also the bus lines. I hate how the deluxes just cluster everyone together at bus stops, then everyone shoves to get on buses. So there’s some......We just stayed there for the first time a few weeks ago. We loved it. Our previous stays were AoA family suites, and then DH & I did a split stay with AKL/Contemporary, so this was our first "true" value room. The renovated rooms are really nice. With the extra bed put up, the room was plenty spacious. The pool is nothing special but we had a blast in it; any pool is cool when it's 90*. We liked it so much DH & I are planning a couples trip in November!!
Don't get me wrong, I loved AKL and Contemporary and I oh so desperately wanted to stay in an Epcot area resort for this trip, but we wouldn't be going at all if we had to pay those prices. A 7 day trip at a Value beats a 0 day trip at a Deluxe any day for us.
