Big Changes for Pop Century Resort

For years, the only activity on the 'Legendary Years' side of Pop Century has been for bus driver training in the parking lot. But things should be picking up as the long awaited second side will soon see construction start.

However, don't look for the 'Legendary Years' to ever be completed, instead they'll be making a whole new resort called Animation Inn. It will feature the latest innovation in family travel hotels -- family suites. These are one and two bedroom suites where there is unique kid themed room and where amenities are designed to give more of an all inclusive feel.

Look for work to start as soon as the pencil pushers feel like we're safely on the way out of the current recession. They want to be poised to welcome new families when the Central Florida tourism industry fully recovers. Current thinking is an partial opening sometime in 2011.

Remember.... that there have been rumors in the past of a "Dark Kingdom," and many others, so the likely hood for this to actually occur is slim to none. Every time my family has (well for the past few years) tried to make a reservation at a value resort, Pop Century (according to Disney Resort Reservation) is the first to fill up. They use All-Star Movies and Sports now as a over spill pool of sorts for Pop Century. Once Pop Century is full they then start filling up the All-Star Resorts. Besides, there are also rumors of a new value project on the west side of the property, so this trial room could be for that. They already have the Legendary Years main building built and ready... so why would they change that and the entire Classic Years?

Hope this comes off the drawing board soon! WDW guests should never have to see abandoned buildings on property.

Love your blog! Keep up the good work.
