Pop Century Room Renovations

[SimplyTink]

Hmm, are they going to remodel the special apartment inside Cinderella's castle too? After it's finished, it might look like an apartment composed entirely of IKEA floor model displays.

True!

What is interesting is there are folks insisting they will not put strangers in to these together

So nobody rides Mission:Space except with their own parties of five? Yes, I realize it's monitored, but it's much more concealed than than a gondola with huge windows.

@HopperFan thank you for the photos of the "bump out" accessible rooms! Been waiting 10 months to see this.

I would love to see the finished floorplan. I can already seen from the pics that the setup will be reversed with the TV on the door side of the room vs the head of the beds.

If you mean this picture that is a headboard.

Well I don't ride that ride since the first time I rode and my memory is I could barely see folks next to me and we were strapped in .............. all I was saying is on other threads some feel confident you will not be with strangers. We won't know until it actually arrives and we see how big they are and how many they will fit. The photos of existing gondolas supposedly the same kind are not big.

Here now. LOVE the new rooms!!! They feel so much bigger even with the Pluto bed down. I think it might be because of the white linens, lighter floors and many light options.

We are far away from Classic Hall but we’re discovering short cuts. Takes us about 7 mins to walk to Classic Hall.

Building 5 appears to be in the same state that @HopperFan reported earlier in the week. Will keep an eye out for changes.

Thank you friend!!

I wouldn't be surprised if those others are mistaken. The gondola are still Disney's version of shared public transportation.

I haven't kept up with all the gondola threads, but it will be interesting to see how this works. As a solo, I would feel a little weird being put in a gondola alone. The first speculative guesses of what the car would be were like the 10-person, but the concept art @HopperFan posted looks like a 6-person car, and you see only 2 heads in one of the cars, so... I always figured they would combine smaller parties.

@scrappinginontario, sounds like your trip is off to a good start! I hope you have a wonderful time!

Oh and tossing in one more topic - are the "security room checks" happening only between certain hours of the day? Like 9-5, or similar?

Thanks so much everyone!! We’re at the Magic Kingdom today and having a blast. Were here st rope drop and crowds have not been bad. Forecast may have discouraged some of the locals. Beautiful sun right now but a lot of rain forecasted for later today.

Something new to us at the MK was that after bag check, every single adult had to go through s metal detector. Lived this change!! Not sure if it’s permanent but glad it was in place. Will see if the same thing happens at other parks.

Hope you have a trip filled with pixie dust!!!

Thanks! We were pixie dusted before we even left classic hall! A sweet couple we’re leaving and gave us 3 coupons they had for popcorn, pretzels or frozen treats! So cool! A great way to start our trip!

Please feel free to ask any questions. Happy to help while I’m here!

Love the early pixie dust! Have a great trip, and hopefully the weather cooperates during your stay!

Have you had a POP Dole whip yet (oops, I meant Pineapple soft serve)???

We’re in the 80’s section, building 7. At first I thought it was a long ways from buses but not bad at all.

We were in building 9, 80s section. Took me a couple days before I figured out walking around the parking lot instead of going to classic hall was a faster route to the bus stop!

Which building is the one with Roger Rabbit sitting on top of what looks like a big oil drum? A friend and I stayed there last year and she liked it because it wasnt' too far from Hourglass Lake. Also, does anyone know if that building has been renovated yet?
