I like how you can see the spotlights from the Studios - I just love POP at night!

LOL, I was there and I didn't pick those up. I guess I was focused on Balou.

MeMom, great pics of the shadowboxes, I don't see many pics of these, so I'm really excited to show DH!!!

Thanks. Also thanks, WeatherbySwann. That's cool that you have that same magazine. That's some nice Disney history. I enjoy looking at these each time I am at Pop. Each time I seem to notice something new. My daughter's favorite box is the one with the Cabbage Patch Kid. She had four of those when she was little. She called them "Pabbage Catch", though! That's what we call them even today when we see them, just to tease her. Now, she has a one year old daughter, and I'm thinking it may be time for me to buy her her first Pabbage Catch Kid!

Thanks, everyone, for all the nice pictures. We were on the ground floor this time, and I never bothered to go up on higher floors to get different angles. One could spend hours just taking pictures of all these resorts. There is so much awesome decor, the pictures can be taken at different angles, the sky/lighting can make two pictures of the same thing look completely different, etc. I think it would be nice to schedule just a photography trip! Any excuse for a trip to Disney, right? "Hey, I forgot to take a picture of that. I have to go back!!!"

Yup, as long as we have a decent reason to go back, the family won't bust us!

I didn't see it in any of those pics of the shadowboxes, but in January we stayed at POP and in a shadowbox was a photo of the Cleaver family from the old 60's show Leave it to Beaver. This cracked us up - every night my family watches that show on TV Land for fun and we were thrilled to see it at POP!!!!! I know we're just weird that way. Our nightly routine is Little House on the Prarie, The Muppet Show, and Leave it to Beaver. But hey, as long as it's not Spongebob or Hannah Montana, I'm good.

Just set the DVR for Leave it to Beaver and watch it tomorrow. Sure it's cheesy, but it's cheesily funny!

This was my first visit to Pop Century and I loved it. I couldn't sleep one night so I took some photos and I wanted to share....

 

[lovesdumbo]

Great pics! BTW I have that Life Magazine issue . . . gotta love Ebay! $3!!

Cool!!!


I took a photo of that same shawdow box in May and a few days after my trip my friend gave me the Walt Disney World: The first decade book. The book that is open under it I purchased (and still have on my first trip in the 70's.

Great shots Mary!!!!

Wow, those are great, MaryD73. POP at night is one of my absolutely, positively favorite places in WDW. In the daytime it's great, but at night it's even better! I don't know what it is about it . . . maybe because all the statues are shiny.

Again, thanks for your great pics!

I'm back from 10 nights at POR and was really missing POP on that trip. I was so happy that I already have a trip to POP booked for 11/8 to 11/13. In Declandad's tradition I think I'll start a countdown. I'm starting my very busy season at work so I don't know if I can post everyday but I'll try.

64 days-here is something I won't see when I go back. The wand on Spaceship was gone when we there in August. This photo was taken from the lake side of the Tramp building in the 50's. The staircase is actually in the jukebox building.

I know what you mean. It is so peaceful when no one is around and the colors really 'pop'. Every morning I got a cup of coffee and took a walk around the grounds before the rest of the resort woke up.
