Where did we ever end up on the interior/exterior hall debate? Given these new pictures it sure looks like there will be one central hall to the new buildings.

Definitely looks like the suite buildings will have some sort of interior hallway. I can't imagine that the walkway areas would be added after the fact to make them external.
Neither can I as they would typically be all a part of the same pour. Even if they were to be installed later I would expect to see rebar sticking out to tie them into the buildings.

Pop Century is definitely one of my favorite value hotels, but its always been so sad to see that unfinished area just over the hedges. I can't wait for this to be completed (although I'm afraid it will make the busing at Pop nearly as bad as it is at the all star resorts).

Anuone know if they will share bussing with Pop or have their own?
No idea right now but if I had to guess it will run an as needed dedicated system much like the All Stars. When AoA is completed the combined capacity of Pop and AoA will be less than what all three All Stars hold. Because of that fact I doubt Disney will initially give each resort it own full time dedicated system.

I'm really interested to know about the busing issue. If they don't have their own it's going to kill the idea of staying at Pop or Art of Animation for me which is sad because I'm actually really looking forward to staying there on an upcoming trip. I'm trying to picture WHERE they would actually put the bus bays... is there a main entrance drive for the resort yet?

I'm sure they'll have their own buses, given the size of the resort. It wouldn't make sense to try and share.

I made this just for you in 5 minutes.
If they don't use the pop entrance this is how it more than likely will go down

AoA will definitely have its own bus stops, but they will share with Pop during the off-peak times at least. All (or at least nearly all) bus routes will have more than one stop, whether it's multiple stops at one resort or multiple resorts. They don't always use multiple stops, but it helps keep the buses fuller when there isn't much demand. Pop is the only exception that I can think of. Catching buses from other resorts, it always sucked seeing a 3/4 full bus pull up when there was a busload full of people at your stop and you thought you would all fit. It was one of the great perks of Pop that you didn't share with anyone and I like having only one stop at the resort. Expect it to be like the All-Stars, where they mostly have their own buses but you might share a bus during less busy times of the year or times of the day.

AOA will build the sign in the entrance and a security booth too!
