Pop Century The Forgotten Legendary Years

Pop Century is one of four resorts at Disney World that cost less. Which was suppose to originally open in 2001 it was later delayed due to a drop in tourism following the September 11 (911) attack. After some time the resort finally opened on December 13, 2003. I'm here to give you insights on one phase which was just left and abandoned due to the cost. And it is the Legendary Years the Pop Century when it first started being constructed was to have two phases first one being the classic years which includes 1950s- 1990 theme areas and the  second phase was suppose to be the legendary years 1900-1940 theme area but the second phase was never finished and Disney just decided to run with just one themed area being just the classic years. I have to say from looking at the concept art the pop century legendary years would of been one amazing section to stay in also this would of been across the bridge which the pop century has now. But now after years of having this area just sitting there with walls up Disney came up with the idea of constructing a different theme resort which is now the art of animation which connects with the pop century. Having theme areas such as the Lion King,Cars, Finding Nemo and the Little Mermaid.

How MyMagic + will work when it becomes available 

6/25/2013

Here to give you some insights about how the full MyMagic + will work remember there are still working to make the experience better so any detail on here will change within the day it goes live.

Fast Pass +

  • You will be able to make FASTPASS+ reservations 60 days out from arrival, plus 10 days, similar to resort reservation dining.
  • The guest will select the park and the three preferred experiences. The system will then return up to 4 groups of availability from which to pick - early, mid day, late, or all day.
  • Grouping of guests allows one My Disney Experience user to copy the details to others traveling in that party with same FASTPASS+ reservations.
  • FASTPASS+ allows one park per day.
  • Return policies will be similar to current FASTPASS - must arrive within time window.
  • You will be able to modify your selected park until you use your first FASTPASS+. Once you use the first FASTPASS+ you can then only modify your remaining FASTPASS+ reservations at that park, and cannot switch park.
  • If you do not have a My Disney Experience account setup you will not be able to use FASTPASS+. Old non-RFID tickets can be converted but will be tied to a My Disney Experience account. This will make reselling of partially used tickets very difficult.

Magic Bands

  • Colors available will include: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Pink, Orange, Gray, Purple.
  • The bands will be shipped worldwide to the guest within 30 to 10 days of arrival.
  • If inside 10 days, the MagicBands will be shipped to the resort.
  • If within 5 days of arrival no color choice is available, and gray will be supplied and shipped to resort.
  • Any replacement bands will be gray.
  • The band is waterproof, but does not float, and is equipped with a 3 year battery.
  • Each MagicBand can handle multiple ticket entitlements.

Annual Passholders

  • AP holders will have the same FASTPASS+ rules as resort guests, with 60 days out reservations, for one park only per day, and three selections per day.
  • Passholders will be able to add a credit card to the MagicBand and RFID card to allow 'touch to pay' charging.
  • First replacement band will be free, additional replacements will cost $50.
  • The RFID card will still be required for discounts.

Renting DVC Points at Disney World

Prices at Walt Disney World are increasing rapidly and what every one always does is try to find new ways to save up for their Disney Vacation.
I for one love to stay on site in Disney Property from Deluxe to Moderate Resorts. We all know these two type of categories are very expensive Resorts and is there a way to save money for both ? as a matter of there is. 
 
For many Visitors who enjoy Deluxe or Moderate stays, Disney Vacation Club would be considered as a investment. But once you do really commit to DVC you would have to make those annually trips to the time share to make Fiscal sense of it.

But of course there is another route you can take if you believe so DVC isn't right for you and that's renting points from owners themselves. The cost of renting points can range from $8 per point up to $14 per point the amount of points of staying varies throughout the year.

For example a six night stay at bay lakes towers from July 15 to July 20 points required for those nights would be 98 for six nights in a regular standard studio room at $14 per point which leads to the ending balance to be $1,372. Now doing it directly through the Disney site the cost for the same night and room would amount to be $1,859. There is two Rental stores i would recommend if you want to rent and feel like a dvc member and one perk would be actually going up to the top of the world lounge at bay lakes to view the Wishes fireworks from the Magic Kingdom. One last thing when renting points you have to be same about knowing who you are renting from if your not doing it through companies because they is a lot of scams. But Davids Dvc store is very trustful.

3-D Attractions 

  1.  Top 3-D attractions that get my vote at Walt Disney World would first start of with Mickey's PhilharMagic at the Magic Kingdom this is by far my favorite 3D ride and especially a very cool and relaxing one if its a very hot day a Disney World. You can cool off with all the cold air the attraction Provides. Donald Duck takes your through a journey of a variety of classical Disney Movie scenes.

Picture
2. My second and not to far behind would be It's Tough To Be A Bug located at Disney's Animal Kingdom, It's Tough To Be A Bug is located inside the base of Tree Of Life which brings you face to face and smell.....To You'll see. Featuring characters from A Bugs Life including Hopper come alive in this theatrical Audio Animatronics Story.
Refrain from buzzing stinging and chirping throughout the Disney 3D Movie.
