No it is just regular rooms. We've stayed there twice I think and love it. We did Riverside this time because it was cheaper for a family of six including a baby for one room there than having to do two rooms at Pop. We love Pop Century, I would describe it as very alive. We loved Riverside too but it was more of a relaxing setting for us which we did enjoy.

Why is Pop more expensive than the other value resorts then?

I really don't know why. That's weird and worth finding out why. My guess would only be because it has its own bus :D or my husband said maybe cuz it's newer. Very interesting....

I had figured it was because it was mostly suites. But that isn't the case as you pointed out. I don't think it having its own bus is that big of a plus. Maybe the being newer is the reason??

I noticed on our last visit that each of the all star resorts had their own busses. We made comment because when we stayed there years ago, we stayed at the All Star Movies which was the last resort for the busses to arrive at. :cry: :goofy:

I think it depends on the time of day. In the morning and evening, I believe each of the All Stars has their own buses, but during the day they will stop at all three.

Wow all star resorts having their own buses that's good to know. Yeah we stayed at All Star Movies a few years back and can understand that frustration of just wanting to get back to your hotel and having the initial shock of the buses stopping by the other resorts first :shock: :lol:

I will have to check with my memory (i.e. my husband) but I believe when we stayed at All Star Movies we went to the other resorts at nighttime...interesting how they do things

My favorite lobby BY FAR had to be the Wilderness Lodge. We were not staying there, but we were meeting there for some reason. I don't even remember why. But walking into that grand, multistory high all wood atrium.. it.. literally took my breath away. I took two steps in the lobby, ran back to my car and got the camera, and then came back to take pics just because it was so amazing.

Wilderness Lodge without a doubt. There is so much breath-taking detail to take in from floor to ceiling.

Absolutely amazing lobby. We stayed at Kidani Village this past February and loved every minute of it. The fact that basically everything is under one roof is incredible. 2 restaurants (or 3, i don't remember), a really cool bar that looks over one of the restaurants, the savannah and countless other goodies. I was so used to Old Key West Resort that stepping in to that place just blew my mind. (also the atmospheric tribal music was great)
