Oh My God, It CAN Get WORSE!

[Doctor P]

Interesting pictures. Very much in line with All Stars. I actually think I like it (in a perverse sort of way!)

 

[Planogirl]

My 8 year old son would gladly stay anywhere at WDW. However, we stayed at the Allstars last year and he asked if we could go back to the Poly. We had some trouble with transportation which even affected him and then he saw the volcano pool. He also LOVES the monorail. So you never know.

The pictures remind me a little bit of those puppies...you know
the ones that are so UGLY they're actually CUTE? But really,
I think the bright colors and 60's decor are kind of cute and
kicky...of course, I just bought a vintage Barbie house last summer
that looked just like the rooms pictured! "Whimsical," you might
say. What the heck, variety is the spice of life!

 

[Mom B]

Oh, and, my apologies to Swan/Dolphin fans, but...in my family's
opinion, they are the UGLIEST things on Disney property. Never
had any interest in staying there, never will! I think I'd try PC
first! But that's the beauty of it...to each his own. Disney has
something for everybody! Peace and love, brothers and sisters!

I've never dropped acid before, but I have a feeling that Pop Century is what it would be like.

I'm not being funny, it really looks like a very "bad trip".

I can't beleive this is the best Disney could do. How dissappointing...

how disappointing that all of you can be so critical.... no one says that any of you have to stay there so stop complaining about it.

 

[dove643]

Does anyone in the forum know how to say anything nice?????? GEEZ!!!!!!

 

[nigel-bigel]

I can say a lot about WDW that is nice. I can't stop saying nice things about the Boardwalk Inn, for example. The parks are just wonderful - magical, if you will. The level of service provided by the CMs is a delight - you always feel welcome (well, usually anyway).

These photos of PC are just awful. They look like something a high-school student would come up with for a school project. And we talk about it because if this is the best Disney can come up with, then this place that most of us love, and many of us have invested in, is showing signs of trouble.

To paraphrase my friend's grandmother, "We come from love!"

I read this thread before I left for WDW on May 4. I thought ya'll were being overly critical. I was WRONG. That place is SO bad. We saw it on our way to AK I think. How tacky. What in the world were they thinking? We didnt even know what some of the sayings meant - we had never heard them before. I would stay there if the rate was really really good and I was on a budget. But it would be my last choice at WDW.

“Does anyone in the forum know how to say anything nice??????”

It would be a little easier if Disney would make the effort to build something worth complimenting.

Frankly, “if you don’t like it – don’t stay there” doesn’t work as a standard of excellence.

i totally agree if you dont like just dont stay there. i see no problem with it myself, but my goodness it isonly a place to lay your head down and sleep.i personally would pick the AS over the other resorts just because the only reason i am ever in the room is to sleep and shower,and cant see paying some of the prices people pay to stay at thr other resorts. we are dvc owners and still love the value resorts and will continue staying at them.some people are only able to visit disney because of the value resorts and i think it is ashame that people have such negative things to say about them, just be thankful that you have a place like disneyworld to come to and enjoy, misty

 

[Testtrack321]

Yet again, if something like this was built now, what will happen latter in the parks or another hotel?

 

[All Aboard]

some people are only able to visit disney because of the value resorts

It's not about affordability. I'm a big proponent of the Value resorts for that very reason. It's about imagination and aesthetics.

and i think it is ashame that people have such negative things to say about them

Why?

just be thankful that you have a place like disneyworld to come to and enjoy

I am very thankful. I'm just concerned about what this resort says about the direction Walt Disney World is headed.

This is a discussion board people just because you like or dislike something doesn't give you the right to tell the oposite opinions to be quiet.
Me I like to read all the good and bad about something, that way I can get a informed opinion about it.
If the folks that don't like PC want to say why, they have every right to and vice-versa so stop telling folks to "shut up" otherwise this discussion board would be awfully lonely!

Personaly I think PC is gross but I do not like All Stars either and I have no kids, and that I think that is the main point. I do think kids will love it and ultimatly I think it is for them and not for us big kids!
I do think it could be much better without the catch phrases though.
Yes it would be nice to have a nicer, less bizarre value resort but I am a DVC member so I can stay at the nicer ones and not worry about the PC or AS since I have no intention of staying at them.
So folks lets let everyone have their say, if you don't agree that's fine but you can't tell someone to not have their opinion, that is worse than having your kids start saying "Fer Sure".
Cheers

Fer shure Cybele!

 

[Cybele]

Yuck, like gag me with a spoon!

 

[Testtrack321]

Agree, we have oppinions, that's why this thread now has around 100 posts on it! Sure, we are glad we have WDW to go to, but god, if in 20 years it's going to end up like PC, you can find me at Universal! Plus, you should stop "sweeping" this under the rug, by saying the other 99% of WDW is good. Look at JIYI, and now PC.

 

[Cybele]

Sorry I'm not up on all my abbreviated terms, which is that?
Thanks

JIYI was Journey into Your Imagination.

Also known as Journey into Your (lack of) Imagination.

I really don't thing they are any more ugly or unatractive than I thought AllStars was when I first saw it, and I have stayed at AllStars on many an occasion. I am sure I will stay at PopCentury too, just to see what it is all about.

I have heard that once Pop Century opens that AllSTars will be used for large groups, such as the cheerleaders, the FIRST competition, etc. that they often have and Pop Century for all other guests. This would make sense to me as it is no fun staying where these large groups are if you arne ot part of the group.
