New Value Resort : Disney Animation Inn & Suites - Coming 2012

[bell.of.the.ball]

My husband is staying at POP right now and he says that on MOnday there will be a big announcment about the unbuilt Legendary Years. Any ideas?

 

[carly chloe]

How exciting!! Please let us know when you hear what it is!!!

I'd love to hear as well.

I know that several months ago the LY topic came up and someone checked into building permits and said that none were applied for. So at that time there was nothing planned. Rumours have been going around for a long time about it eventually being finished as an all suite resort.

 

[bell.of.the.ball]

since he is coming home today I guess we will all have to be on the look out for Disney news tomorrow.

I hope they are building suites, but I know they won't be open when we are there next.

They should finish it and drop the prices on both of the pops to be more competitive with outside hotels. You can stay at a multi-room suite in Kiss for what a standard in pop costs.... Plus pop is always full...

I hope they do it as suites, not really because I need a suite, but I know the need is there. I was there two weeks ago and got as close as I could to take pictures and it was really depressing to see the buildings just sitting there half finished.

If POP is always full, they don't need to drop the prices. Supply = demand.

Lol, that's exactly what I was going to say. Why in the world would they drop the prices if they're always full?

And why in the world why I want to stay in anywhere Kissimmee when I can stay at Pop? No thank you. Pop isn't expensive at all.

 

[KELLY]

You are the second person to say this in the past couple of days. Hopefully we will know tommorow.

 

[rock_doctor]

Actually Pop is expensive in comparison so dropping the price would steal away more people from staying outside. Opening the next section would solve the problem with being full all of the time. Disney (imho) can tolerate more value priced rooms plus it is a shame to see it sitting there unused. What ever they do it will be nice to see it being used. I hope it is true.

I heard a rummor they are going to make them value suite's, like in the All Stars.

This is what they need to do and what I hope they do!

 

[Christine9125]

Anyone want to speculate? If the annoucment is suites at PoP, how long until they would be open to the public?

Expensive in comparison sure but still not expensive. But again, they don't need to price them cheaper because they run at a very high capacity.

 

[lacrosse_lady72]

I think they'll be a lot more like All-Star Music Resort. Some suites, some regular rooms. I think they'll have to gut a lot of the buildings that are more developed because of the lack of maintenance on them.

I wouldn't be surprised if they mention something about a re-theming as well because the Pop Century theme won't really work in the future.

 

[MinnieLovesMickey]

My husband and I heard something similar when we were there last week. We had a CM say that they were getting ready to start work, he just didn't say what they were doing with them.

 

[StrwLady]

I think Value Suites would be the best idea!

 

[JasmineMA]

any news?

 

[MinnieMommy07]

It'd be very surprising if they decided to re theme because they just spent all of that time and money updating rooms and they have that "decades" theme in the bedspreads- that and what would they do with all of the huge icons?

I guess they have their resources....
