We are staying at Pop Century tomorrow night. This will be our first time to that resort. I know they stopped building the 2nd half of Pop Century after 911. With all the high attendance lately, has there been any reports as to when they will finish the rest of Pop Century?

Speculation seems to be that if the suites at All Star Music are popular, the second half of Pop may be built, but as suites like at ASMU.

As far as I knew... it was "confirmed" (no press release I believe) back in April of this year... that the resort was to be constructed with rooms resembling the current suites at the All Star Music
Those suites have recently opened though, and I doubt Disney would jump the gun and construct a resort souly with that room category without having more time for feedback and to determine whether the suites will be popular.
I recently overheard that a Pop Century CM said that construction has haulted due to legal issues regarding the contractor. Whether that's true or not I'm not sure.
I also read/heard pool themes have already been chosen :sohappy:

I would hope they finish it soon. As it is, its a huge eyesore and it can't stay as it is forever. As for the pool themes, I'm guessing those would have been chosen well before even phase 1 opened and the entire resort (including the 1900s-1940s section) was being designed...but I could be wrong.

I must say- I actually quite like those themes. Especially the Route 66 one. Now they just need to build the darn thing! But imagine the line ups for the Pop Century busses when its done...

It's funny how those pools relate to the existing pools:
Soda pop bottle = bowling pin (long, skinny and curvy)
Rt 66 sign = flower pool (big, I'm sure Rt 66 will be the main pool)
Crossword puzzle = computer (big dumb square.....can we get more imaginative here?)

I didn't know there was ever an actual completed full resort map out there :veryconfu
Can someone let me know where to see it
This is true, seperate bus depots and food courts etc.
But only one bus stop at the parks is what I'm guessing, kind of what they do with the All Stars. I doubt each resort side will have their very own private bus stop.
That would be the logical guess to me...

I heard a rumor the last time I stayed there that the second half of the building is being reserved for future themes. I don't know how valid this rumor is but those buildings look awfully sad sitting there unfinished on the other side of the lagoon.

What's the rocket shaped pool at the bottom of the map? Is it a rocket, or a blimp? I'm guessing the crossword puzzle isn't a pool, but rather a walk through area, like the giant foosball table in the completed section.

If and when the other side does get built out there would be two different bus stops and two different bus routes. One for Classic years and one for the new side. When the resort is done it will have the most rooms on property combine the 2 resorts there for they will run two different bus routes, this is why there is a second entrance to the property off Victory Way.

Thanks for this- I've always wondered what the resort would look like when it was done and this helps shed some light on things.
I remember hearing something about the legendary years (at least some of the earlier ones) being in all black and white...anyone happen to know anything?
