Is a medical fridge the same as the regular refrigerators?
yvette says
Yes, if there is a trundle bed, then the room sleeps five.
Jan says
FYI_ starting next year they are going to charge extra for poolside rooms and/or lakeview rooms at Pop.
Angela says
Book now. I recently booked my room for POP in February and got the Florida discount rate of $59 for first night and $62 for 2nd and 3rd night. Three days before we leave, I usually call and request certain rooms. Call the POP directly. While I like lakeside, since we are in the room so little, I am not really willing to pay more. Where did you hear this news?
Jan says
You do not need a doctor’s note to get a medical frig- you just tell them you have a medical need for a frig- my husband has diabetes and needs to store his insulin- housekeeping brought us a frig right away.
When you check in if you don’t like what you get- just speak up- they really want to make you happy!
danygirl says
if you get a room with a trundle does that mean that it sleeps 5?
Disney is very hard to work with a family of 5
Megan says
We were at POR in December and at check in we requested a room with a trundle that was close to the bus stop. The cast member was awesome and he actually moved someone else’s reservation out of a room to give it to us. We were also close to the main building. It did take a while, but the wait was worth it!
Kim says
I don’t understand the request thing. You can request a preferred room and not have to pay extra for it if they feel like giving it to you? what about a fridge? Can you request one?
Jodi says
We’ve asked for a free upgrade before at check in while standing at the counter – and got it! Just based upon availability. If upgraded rooms are sitting unused – they like to fill them and leave a “cheaper” room open – because it is more likely to get booked. Never hurts to ask!
Kristin says
There are certain rooms at Pop Century that are preferred and you have to pay extra for them. The requests are for the regular rooms, just in a prime spot to suit your needs. We are near the playground.
Only way to get a fridge for free is with a doctors note for medical needs.
Jan says
They no longer accept fax requests at Disney resorts you must have just got lucky. All room requests have to be made through the Disney Central reservation system 1-407-W-DISNEY or online when you do early check in.
heather says
What is the fax # for Pop we leave in a couple of days and I want to tell them its my daughters 5th Birthday?Thanks heather
Kristin says
I just googled it. :)
Lisa says
We stayed at Pop in August and with our original reservation requested a preferred room, in the 60’s building overlooking the pool and we got. It was very cool!
holly says
Can you still fax in requests even if you have already checked-in online, or should you do both at the same time?
Kristin says
I faxed in my request after I had checked in. I just used a free online fax service and sent it straight to the resort.
Jessica W says
I met you in Target the other day. You have really helped with planning our trip in February. I bought all the Tinker Bell stuff at Target and when I got home the Trunkies that I ordered had been delivered. I will be keeping up with your trip this week. Have fun. Jessica

I’m am LOVING that you and the kids are sharing your adventure with us. I am using Disney as a potty training incentive. I told my 3 year old that in order to go to “Mickey’s House” you have to wear big boy underwear and have patience (for waiting in lines). Posting your trip motivated me to make a big leap of faith and have “no diapers” weekend. I get a little choked up just thinking about how he is going to react to things when we go. I know I am going to turn around and he is going to be 18. It is already flying by too fast. Have a great time and thanks for packing me in your virtual suitcase!
Sherry says
Sorry – phone is acting up. I ment to say welcome to FL! The weather is great and I hope you have a great time! If you need anything, let me know. I’m 15 min away from the parks.

Crystal says
I love the matching doll and girl outfits! Did you buy those somewhere??
Karen says
I believe her Mother in Law makes the clothes..
Kristin says
Her outfit is by Ann Loren I think? I got it on sale from Totsy.
Sherry says
Eelcome to FL! I
Kelly says
Sometimes you can request a room close to the food court. I also request a pack and play for my daughter to sleep in.
Ange says
I am curious as to the requests as well. Have a great trip!
Aly says
What a great family! Your husband looks like an awesome guy.
I’m so happy for you guys!
karen says
What things did you request? We are leaving in 2 weeks for Pop Century. Any tips?
Jo Griffin says
We are leaving for Pop Century in 2 weeks too. Maybe I’ll see you there Karen.
Angela says
You can request a certain room or just a building, such as the 50’s, 70’s, etc. You can also request lake view or overlooking a certain character such as Lady and the Tramp or the Mickey phone. No request is guaranteed but I’ve got what I requested around 75% of the time. I find that the earlier I check in, the better my chances. Most of the 60’s building is preferred which cost a bit more. No difference in the room itself, just the distance from the main building. Our favorite is Building 6 (the 70’s) overlooking the lake. Its a beautiful area, close to the main buiding and hippy dippy pool and if you take the back way (near the playground), it is a short walk to the bus stops (plus I love the 70’s era music that always playing).
Shawna says
