    We're staying there again this year, making it three years in a row. While we would love to stay at a monorail resort or at the Boardwalk, for the money you just can't beat POP.

    I've heard so many good things about POP here that we'll have to try it on the next trip. Actually, I wanted to try it on this one coming up, but DH wanted to stick with the ASMu. We've certainly always had a great time there, so I can understand his reluctance to switch. Next time though.....

    Wow! Pop better then Poly! Lucky you to have the experience. I've never tried Pop, but your post made me curious about it!

    I also have a similar experience as the poster. I stayed many times at Poly and for financial reasons needed to stay value our last few trips. I was very nervous but to my surprise I LOVE Pop!!!! I mean I love it!!! In fact my next resi is at CSR and I am thinking of saving myself the money and transferring back to Pop. I also love being on the first floor right in front of the Hippy Dippy Pool.

    So happy to hear you loved it!!!!

    Well I am thrilled for the original poster! Good for you. I personally prefer the deluxe resorts with the Poly being my absolute favorite. But hey that is why Disney has different resorts to make everyone happy.

    Just think, you not only had a wonderful time at the POP, but you acutally saved some money to boot! We always stay at the POP now, we would never spend that kind of money for the Poly again, or for that matter, the other resorts. We did stay at Sports once and liked that one also.
    Your attention please, the Walt Disney World Railroad is now boarding for a trip around the Magic Kingdom

    Usually this process goes the other way. First you do POP for two years then you try a mod or deluxe and rave about the difference. Now the question is after doing value can you go back to deluxe?

    I have relatives that have stayed at the Pop two weeks every year for the last five years. They love it. We visted it last time we were there it seemed whimsical and fun.

    I have to admit DW and I are a both spoiled and now that we are in the DVC, I don't see going back to the POP/DCS resorts in the future, but I use to enjoy them (though never stayed in POP). I have to admit that it would be just a little to chaotic for us. But honestly, if you like it, then enjoy it. That's the best part of Disney is that there is a certain kind of Magic for any and everyone.
