POP! Goes the Day!
After traveling 8 hours, we were so happy to get to POP Century that day. We got there to find that the barricades for the bridge from POP to AoA had been dropped!
 Breakfast of Mice!  Best. Sign. Ever.  My, that's a big marquee you have!  We're there!  70's Building. Top floor. Corner. Real close to the main building  Obligatory room picture. Same old, same old  From the room. Very close to the main building  Anyone for yo-yo?  Crossing the bridge. Will they still call it Generation Gap?  We're on the EAC!  Dude!  Living in the anemone!  Back over to POP Century We had a fun foray into Art of Animation, and we were looking forward to later in the night!

creativeamanda...as everyone else, I really enjoyed the pictures.
One question: everything looks so deserted! These are from June? Are the crowds way down this year? |
