A short video tour of The Walt Disney World Pop Century Resort. This is a value resort on Disney property within fairly close proximity to Hollywood Studios and Epcot. As far as value resorts go, this would be our favorite due to the dedicated buses that run from the resort to the parks versus the other value resorts (The All-Star Resorts) which share a bus between the 3 of them. This is where we stayed on our most recent trip (see other most recently posted videos). We had a standard room which is shown in the video and we stayed in the 1950’s Building which we like because it is far enough away from the main pool to avoid a lot of late night noise and also still close enough to the main building where the shopping and food court is found. If you have any questions about this resort or any other Disney resort, please let me know.

Where do people in resort towns vacation?
I recently came back from Grand Cayman. And I started thinking where do people who live in resort towns in the Caribbean or any vacation hot spot go on vacation? Do they go to the beach when they have it right in front of them or do they just stay home and enjoy the gorgeous scenery?
