Air Conditioning in the Resorts
This may seem like a stupid/silly question to ask but do the resorts still have the motion sensors hooked up to the air conditioners in the rooms? The last time we stayed at Pop Century and it got kind of stuffy during the night. The AC would kick off after everyone went to sleep because there was no movement in the room. We eventually got around it by taking the advice of some of the other guests at the resort by purchasing a balloon which floated around the room which kept the motion sensor from turning everything off. We are staying at POFQ this upcoming trip and was just wondering if we should invest in another balloon

This was the main reason we prefer the All Stars over Pop, the preset air conditioning I think it is the newer green resorts that do this, so I would say POFQ would be okay.

Wow, I never knew some resorts had the AC hooked to motion detectors. So do you come home to a hot room every night because nobody is in the room all day, how does that work? We stayed at POFQ 5 years ago and the AC ran constantly, no motion sensors, but that may have changed since then, they did just do a renovation at POFQ.
We just returned from a stay at VWL, when we first arrived the AC was set at 62. We had to bump it up the first night, we were all freezing.

I stayed at the ASmusic and Riverside this summer. Music, I never could get that cool. Riverside, very nice. Got it a bit chilly in there, the way i like it. Neither had the motion thing. I hate the green technology stuff. Some hotels, not at disney, have the green toilets. I'm just going to say i'm more man than any of those things can handle. Love the disney bathrooms, hope they don't go any greener than shower heads.

Wow I have never even heard of this. Every resort we've stayed at I believe the air stayed on all night? Seems like in the florida summers' they would at least include a continuos option?
Next trip - Sep29-Oct4! Free QS dining at POP. First trip with both kids. (6th total visit)

I don't really know how it works, all I know is that the systems are SOOOO annoying! I like white noise at night, fan/ac or something to make noise. Plus, I like it COLD when I sleep! So, the AC would kick in and dump out some cool-ish air, then clunk off-no noise in the room at all, then clunk back on just as you are difting off to sleep...and so on, all night long. Drove us crazy! We brought a little fan in our suitcase that we bought right before we left, only to find out that we bought a "whisper quiet" fan. Oops, wrong one! We wanted loud and annoying!

"It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.
"So it is."
"And freezing."
"Is it?"
"Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately."

a/c at pop
I need white noise too, and bring this tiny metal fan thats about 5 inches big and doesn't take up much room in luggage - its just enough noise to let me go to sleep. The AC at pop is too quiet, the first year we stayed there i had to keep getting up and putting the bathroom fan on and try to fall asleep before it timed out.
Love the balloon idea, that's awesome I like it cold cold cold.

We were just a Pop for a week a month ago and I can say for sure that our A/C did run while we where gone & while we slept! It would be comfortable when we went to bed at night, and every morning I woke up cold & had to cut it back! Also the room was quite comfortable when we returned anytime after being out!

I'm not sure how it used to be, but the OKW rooms have A/C that one sets to a temperature and it stays. We really enjoyed coming back to the room for refreshment and a nap!

Recently returned from POFQ and the ac runs all the time. You can still set it yourself. For me it was way to cold at 64, so i left mousekeeping know so they would leave it at 69 when they cleaned the room. THey did, they were very good at keeping things in shape. Enjoy!

Staying in the GF we had only one problem with the A/C. The room had a sliding door and every time I locked the door the A/C would shut off.
The door had a switch that turned off the air when open. The door lock when engaged was locked but held the door ever so open and to not push the switch button fully in.
The building maintenance at first thought I was crazy until I proved to him it really was the cause.
Told him no charge for the diagnostic time it was on me...

The ACs at POR are window units. I'm not sure if POFQ has the same type units. If they do, you can have the fan run continuously. At Pop they have the central units and from my experience, are not as "white-noise" soothing as the window units (if you like that kind of thing--and I do).

We were at OKW last week, and the A/C stayed at the same temp 24/7. There was also a switch on the thermostat to keep the A/C fan running even when the compressor was not running.
