This is the first of hopefully many photo essays around Walt Disney World. I start with the resort where Stephanie and I stayed last week, Disney's Pop Century Resort.
This resort salutes the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, and the 1990's.
The lobby has several collages from the different eras.
The suitcase vehicles are in the shape of luggage themselves! They assist guests boarding buses, such as the one pulled up, Disney's Cruise Line Transportation.
There were several little nuggets of fun all over, such as Surfing Goofy and the Potato Heads.
However, there was also a lot of Stitch.
That's right. Much of the resort was getting a makeover and new layer of paint, so I apologize for the workers and equiptment.
Each section was divided into the decades, each with a unique very large staircase, facade, and huge statues.
We begin in 1950 with bowling pin staircases and pool area, sock hop fronts, and large statues of Lady, the Tramp, and a jukebox. The pool was really neat with bowling ball racks and a laundry facility like a shoe rental shelf.
Moving to 1960 with the Hippie Dippie Pool, yo-yo stairs, flower child fronts, and oversized Jungle Book and Play-Doh characters.
The 1970's do not have a pool, but they do have a giant fuseball replica, Mickey phone (under refurbishment), and Big Wheel. The facade contained platform shoes, mood rings, and disco dancers. The stairs were 8-track tapes.
Let's look at that Big Wheel from a different angle.
Wait a second. What size child can it accomidate?
That is one big kid!
The 1980's is where Stephanie and I stayed, right behind the Pac-Man and Break dancer decorations with our neighbors Roger Rabbit and a soon-to-be newly painted Walkman. The stairs were Rubix cubes.
The pool area was computer themed and was shared with the 1990's area.
The 90's had a large computer while the stairs were cellphones. It was also decorated with CD's and rollerblades.
That's about it from Pop Century. More resorts to come.
We have stayed there twice before. I like the POP Century. This year I'm looking forward to staying at All-Star Music !
