Are you gonna stay at the POP CENTURY RESORT?

[Poohbear123]

Yes, I Will! I am looking forward to it opening, and when it does, I am SURE you will NOT be able to see it from the Roadways....do YOU see any of the OTHER hotels from the roadway? I Don't untill I get RIGHT UP to them!

It is very easy to see some of the resorts from the road. MOST of them are not on frequently traveled roads, but it is very easy to see THE BOARDWALK from the road, and it's a beautiful sight. I think if you can not see a Disney Resort from the road, it is because it is far off the beaten path and is surrounded by lush landscaping. There is no need to intentionally hide the resort because it is so "unattractive." Visitors would have no reason to ride by the other Value resorts, if they were not going to those resorts. I believe that architecture should be designed to be seen and enjoyed, as MOST Disney resorts are. They do not hide The Grand Floridian.
It is MY opinion that the resort is very ugly and beneath Disney's standards. Maybe some people think it's very nice to look at, I don't know.
The colorful "project" looking buildings are right on one of THE MAIN streets entering Disney property. It is the FIRST Disney hotel a visitor will see when arriving via the Osceola. First they will see The Gaylord Palms (quite impressive) then they will see the that ugly building with all those HUGE words shouting out at you. It's crass and cheap. Hidden or not, why is it so ugly?

We all know how magical Disney is, what happened with this resort? I just don't get it. Ok I'm done with that now. I'm busy working on a September Disney vacation, and then there's the Wine and Food Festival! So many Disney vacations, so little time.

But, if they put too much greenery up to hide it then we'll never know where to turn

Nope.

I wouldn't stay there, but then again, I wouldn't stay at the All-Stars either...mainly because I think the budget resorts rooms are too small. But I remember the same comments being made when the All-Stars were getting ready to open...about how ugly they were (I remember lots of comments about how ugly the coke bottles were).

But I will say, that my sis and her family stayed at the All-stars and the kids loved it there....that is important too her so she would probably stay at Pop Century when it opens since when we drove by it (they are down on a trip now...staying at POFQ) she thought the kids would have a blast there.

I don't like to stay at hotels that make me feel nauseated. And, um, I think All-Stars is ugly too. But with Pop Century it seems like it was intentional.

Neither Pop Century nor AS are my cup of tea, so I probably wouldn't choose to stay at either one. AS is a bit nicer looking, I think what gets me about PoP are the sayings on the sides of the buildings. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't want to be reminded of "Where's the Beef?", "Phat", or "Whassup?" if I can help it!

I would only stay there if there was nothing else available....including nothing at All Stars!
AND the price was right!!! Like......$40 or LESS!!

I might reconsider staying there if they get rid of those hideous words all over!!!!

I would like to stay a few nights for our January '03 stay. (If it is even open!) I am just TOO curious to see this place live and in person. DH wants to stay there because of it being new.
I really enjoyed ASMo (esp for the $) and want to stay there most of the time for on-site.

 

[Disneylvr]

Yes, I will try it at least once! I am a fan of the All Stars so why not give Pop Century a try.
