I finally decided to go ahead and get this posted. Haven't been looking forward to it since there's over 190 pictures but here we go.

Ill start off with the first series of pictures with the ones I took around the Pop Century Resort. Its the newest Value Resort but sadly due to 9/11 it was never finished. They had planned for a matching side called the Legendary Years, which would have covered 1900's-40's. So far they have the area cleared and the main lobby building, the cross walk bridge over the lake and a few of the resort buildings built up but was put on hold once the tourism industry dropped off after the attacks. There has been recent talk of them being completed as a family suites/regular room style after testing the suite concept out with the All-Star resorts two years ago.

And now for the pictures:

Part 1: The Pop Century Resort

As you can tell We was in the 70's Section of the Classic Years

http://amusementparkauthority.com/forums/trip_reports/austin/dw_2006/IM005752.JPG
All the stairs are dressed up in toys. 50's have Bowling Pins, 60's had Yo-Yos, 70's have 8-tracks, 80's have Rubix cubes, and 90's have a cell phone. I could be wrong on the 70's and 60's though.

Its such a peaceful little resort also. Plus its got a mile long walking track that circles around the Classic Years buildings.

Remember I said our room was prime real estate there? Behind those trees is the reason

http://amusementparkauthority.com/forums/trip_reports/austin/dw_2006/IM005763.JPG
Its the main pool! The 60's and 70's share this pool since they are right next to it. The 50's have their own shaped like a bowling pin. The 80's and 90's share one also. Its a giant laptop. The pool is the screen and once you get out and walk to the side of it there is a keyboard carved into concrete

http://amusementparkauthority.com/forums/trip_reports/austin/dw_2006/IM005759.JPG
Ours is also preferred because its so close to the lobby where the resort restaurant and shopping center. It's called Everything Pop Shopping and Dining. Oh and the most awesome arcade ever!

Haha yeah. I still get a buzz cut but i keep it long sort of. I think I did the best on the Pop Century section though lol. Just so much detail in that one resort.

Ill be going through and getting these moved to the server along with the holiday world pics since i noticed my photobucket bandwidth is getting up to the max.

This one took forever but 2004 shouldnt take long I hope. This one had around 180 pictures so I dont know for sure on our 2004 trip.
