POP Century Resort Legendary Years

[disney1990]

Well, our friends have just returned from staying at Pop Century. According to them, there is a lot of activity on the other side of the Generation Bridge. They are apparently working on Pop Century Legendary Years. Our friends said that they have started installing glass in the windows of the buildings. It sure doesn't look like they are going to be tearing them down.

The existing buildings have had glass for years.. and doors!

For proof - have a look here:

This report of work being done jives with the report I updated on that thread in 06/2008 (see that thread for details) ... that was viewed with some skepticism here on the boards.

I'll visit Pop Century in September and confirm in fact work is being done over there. In the meantime, I'll send my 'spies' over to see if they can see anything

All of this if it proves to be true coincides nicely with a post I made earlier this year indicating that there were rumors of planned construction to start in 'fall' of 2008 ...

Interesting report. I hope its true.

FWIW, a few weeks ago one of the bartenders at POP told me that they're taking bids from contractors to do the Legendary Years construction. From the looks of it, they'll need to undo a lot of what's been done (getting rid of all the overgrown brush, grass, etc.) before they can start the actual construction.

man, i hope this is true. pop is great as is but the new addition will enhance it even more! i hope we can get some dis'ers over there soon to confirm or deny

Be prepared for shared buses between the two very large resorts.

Or not..

Last year there was a BMX dirt track created in on the Legendary Years side of the resort for an event.

That was removed in the last week.. but according to my sources.. that's all that has been happening.

We'll stay on this on this tho. Cause obviously that's not windows.

 

[jenseib]

very interesting . Can;t wait to see what happens.

did your friends take pictures?

 

[Luv2Roam]

Yeah -- who knows. Maybe they are removing the glass that is there.

 

[PrincessToozie]

Cant wait to see whats going on over there, I will be there in less than two weeks!

There is definitely work being done over there.

It would be nice if they finish the other half of Pop.

I am not getting my hopes up though because the activity could be just a staging area for supplies for the refurbshing of the CBR Nemo and PotC rooms.

Just an FYI:
CBR resort is located very near Pop.

I am waiting to read what CanadianGuy's spies have to say.

Thanks for the update! Hopefully someone staying there now will let us know what actually may or may not be going on there!

As I posted last month, when DH and I checked in to POP July 5th, the CM that checked us in said that there were Imagineers there measuring for the large icons needed at the Legenday Years Resort.
Keeping our fingers crossed! Jennifer

 

[KYMickey]

Having Imagineers out measuring the letters makes no sense at all. The obviously have designs for what is existing and for what was planned so they would have no need to go out and make measurements. Obviously the CM with just making up a story. Hopefully the rest in this rumor is not a story in the second half of the resort will be finished!

Say Hello to WDW's first all-suite resort.

But a bus driver told me that it was going to be the first Value DVC resort!

I was at Pop on July 19 and August 2--the bookends to my DVC vacation. It did look like people were over there doing something. It looks so bad over there right now that it would be great to see it completed and opened--buses would be no worse if shared than the ones at All Stars or POFQ/POR. After the trial run of the suites at ASMu perhaps they see a market for families that are greater than four in size. It would be nice to see an alternative to 2 rooms for these families and since the rooms for 5 at POR aren't much good once the kids are over 10 it would be nice to see an alternative.

Say Hello to WDW's first all-suite resort.

Oh, I hope so!

 

[shane&jakesmom]

Yes, I did hear from my brother who is very Disney informed about the legendary years and I did read about it somewhere, sorry can't remember where that they were in the process of starting up work over there again.

I really hope that they finish Pop soon. It was a sin to have it sitting there like that.
