Pop Century Pictures

[prekteacher]

I will be staying at the pop century next year and was looking for some pics. Is there alot to do at the hotel for a 10 year old and a 12 year old.?

Yay! More pics ! Great pictures declansdad and mousebit your collage is brilliant! Makes me a happy Pop girl !

Okay then I've a few more, all from our first trip in 2004. The place hasn't changed except for perhaps what is for sale in the Everything Pop gift shop.

Here is the front of the resort where you line up to get the bus to a park or to Downtown Disney. Please excuse the slant and instead try to imagine the music, because it's there and it's upbeat and wonderful ! We always try to pay attention to the song playing when we arrive. On our second trip it was Hanson "Um Bop" I think it's called. On our last trip it was Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" Way to set the mood for our Christmas trip!

This is Kev in the gift shop. I wish I bought that phone but I was probably tapped out! See the doors in the back of the shop? What we did every morning was have a look see in the gift shop, then go through those doors and the buses are right there! We came in the same way every day too, often exhausted but very happy!

Lastly here is one of the many windows we passed by that the kids or perhaps CM's had filled with the children's toys. So sweet! The reason I love the Pop is that it is just so family friendly, and it really adds to the great atmosphere of the place.

Hey sis!!! I LOVE the slant of that pic! Always fun to see things from a different perspective!

Thanks karebear! Seeing things from a different perspective is usually always a good thing I reckon!

to the DIS! Be sure to check out the Groovy New Pop Century FAQ thread. Lots of good info there. But to quickly answer your ? - I think your 10 & 12 yos will love POP! My now 12yo DGD has been going with me since her 10th BD and she loves it. She likes the arcade and loves to pool hop to all 3 pools. Also, ping-pong, Twister, face-painting, pizza delivery and frozen cokes. Have fun!

Anybody have more pictures of Everything Pop or Memory Lane? I always forget to take INSIDE pics.

Kristina - love that bus stop pic! Tho for a minute there I thought maybe I took too much of my BP med!

Thanks Kristina. I love the bus stop picture.

Can't wait until we go back in August to take some new pics of Pop and AKL.

Just a little POP collage to bump up the thread!

Anyone have any new POP pics?

Oops I guess the picture didn't copy. Well anyway the picture of your daughter leaning against the railing could have been my daughter 10 years ago. WOW is all I can say. Except she has never stayed at Pop. I just stared at the picture.

heres a few pictures from our recent trip to POP...

 

[bettyann29]

Heres some more...

 

[bettyann29]

last ones.. these are only of the eighties section mainly since thats where we were this time and I hadnt gotten over to that area on previous trips to take pictures..

 

[Kristina]

Thank you bettyann29 for all the great pics! We are kind of set in our ways and always stay in the 50's section every trip so far, isn't that boring! We love it though and before our first trip I was advised that the 50's area was the quiet section of the resort so now I'm almost afraid to book anywhere else. Once even, when I checked us in I mentioned to the cheeky CM that I had requested it because I'd heard it was quieter there and she said yeah, that they try to book people like me in there (?!) . .

I love your pictures of Roger Rabbit . I've only seen the film once myself but Disney was fixing to make him a big big star at one point, now you hardly see him anywhere else.

I've only been to Pop twice but stayed in 50s both times and loved it. I've booked for November and requested 60's lakeside. I'm also planning on taking my DS for his 7th birthday in January 08 and he wanted to stay in the 80's for Roger Rabbit and I said no so now he wants 70's.

Funny thing I KNOW in my head that I'd really be happy anywhere once I got there.

When I went to ASMo I requested Dalmations or Toy Story (before they were prefered) and got Herbie. I was really disappointed at check in but we ended up LOVING it there and I would request it if I went back. But I've got to choose Pop for the Frozen Coke.

Great thread, and bee-you-ti ful pix. I changed our ressies last week from POFQ to Pop at my 5 year old DS's request....I suppose he really is a genius! Wonder where he got that??

 

[declansdad]

We're inside 70 days.

A need to post some pics before I get some new ones.

 

[MeMom]

I'm hoping to be right there in the Lady building in about 50 days. We're planning to do live trip reports and pictures each night while we're there, so hopefully that'll work out. Be on the lookout for us on the Trip Reports board, and maybe we'll have lots of pictures for you to enjoy during the last 20 days of your wait.

 

[declansdad]

Cool! I'll keep watching.
