Pop Century does not provide microwaves ( Due to Covid not even in dining hall) You can make oatmeal (more filling than sugar cereal) with the coffee maker's hot water. Also a 1/2 gallon of milk from the dining hall is about $3. While a single serving is $4 or a kid size is $2. Bring your own breakfast cereal & disposable silverware and save time and $ on 1 meal. Bring your own Anti-bacterial or foaming hand soap. The body wash in locked to the shower wall and little kids aren't always good with bar soap. The Pop Century provides life jackets for littles and since they are soaked in Bleach water (chlorine) they are clean. The playground & arcade are closed right now but there are free movies under the stars, fireworks on tv, Disney Bedtime stories TV channel and riding the new gondola back and forth is a free ride in and of itself! Plan to walk around the resort and take pictures by all the "big stuff" try out Twister, ping pong or look for ducks and snails and lizards for free :) Swim in all 3 pools. Get a squished penny for 51 cents. I also saw a mom letting her kid pick up "Treasures" as souvenirs. (rocks, bark, etc) There are no Stickers right now, but you can still get a free pin! The murphy Bed/ table & chair combo and sliding barn doors make the rooms very use-able. Tons of storage! You don't actually want a pool-side room. They are too noisy :) It is a long walk to main hub/dining hall/stores etc. so plan accordingly. Make sure to grab silverware, condiments and and extra towels from the pool etc. to prevent having to go back for things. There are drinks & snacks vending on alternating floors. (I thought they only had drinks, but then noticed snacks was on level 2)
Your room only gets maid service every 2 days so make make a total mess :) These rooms give you the disney theming and not having to worry about transportation is worth the extra charges. They really make it so simple! We usually stay off site, but now we will ALWAYS stay at a disney resort.
