Have you seen pictures? There wasn't anything to see as of Thursday evening last week but anticipating first updates should be revealed anytime as everything is supposed to be complete sometime in October.

Pictures were posted on another Disney website that I am unsure of being able to mention here.

The mural and where the shadow boxes were is nice and ties into the food court well. It is the actual reception/guest relations counter that is stark and minimalist that I am unsure of. It is lacking.

I see the walls you mean in the AllEars post linked above.

Personally I will be shocked if they stay are bare as they are. Possibly need the other half renovated too before adding additional decorations?

Time will tell.

I hope you are right. Pop Century is my Disney home and seeing it change is a bit distressing and exciting.

Here now in the best room I’ve had yet. Bldg 4 as close to Skyliner as you can get. Rain chances were high for this week but happy to say so far so good…went to AH at HS last night. It was great with low waits for rides. TSM was pretty much walk on for us. Not sure what was happening with Slinky Dog it wasn’t running when we went by.

Yes! I was in that area back in April and loved it! My room was 212 steps (per my apple watch) from the skyliner. Bonus was the rabbit who came to eat in the grassy area outside my door every evening. One day he brought his wife and his duck friend.

The Allears report says there will be a mural behind the Front Desk.

I like the wraps here better than the murals they did at the All -Stars.

Far Out!

Hoping you will see some of the Classic Hall renovations while you're there. I was able to see that there appear to be circles/polka dots of some sort on the walls that formerly(?) held the shadow boxes. The curtains were pulled tight but once when I walked by and the light hit just the right way, that's what I could imagine was behind the curtains. Time will tell. Wall seemed to be dark (blue?) with brighter circles in what I'm imagining to be the other colours (green, maybe orange, white) that are part of the renovations.

Curtains have been pulled tight but I will go over tomorrow and try to get a closer look.

There were pictures I found and posted above after responding. Thanks for offering though!

First portions of the lobby renovations were revealed yesterday. Looks great!

Here now and was told by CM at front desk that the Shadow Boxes that hung on lobby wall are definitely not coming back. Most of the lobby wall is still covered by the black curtain but 2 sections have been revealed. The colors of the murals are bright and well done…

We were in Everything Pop last night around 6pm and place was nearly empty!

So it looks like the 1950s and 1960s "wall wraps" have been uncovered.

Definitely a step down from the Shadows but the wraps are cute.

The shadow boxes were way better. How sad…

Can you tell me what kind of creamer or non dairy creamer (if any) are in the rooms please?
