Abandoned - Disney's Legendary Years Resort
Ойын-сауық
Back in the early 2000's, Walt Disney World had a tough decision on their hands with a brand new value resort they had been building. One that left the delay of Disney's Pop Century Resort, and abandoned the entire other half of the hotel, never to be finished. Leaving abandoned towers across the lake, with their fate uncertain. This is the Legendary Years Resort.

My family stayed at Pop Century in 2006. Me and my younger brother went walking around the lake one night and wandered around the vacant buildings. It was real strange to be in what felt like an overgrown wasteland just to look back across the lake to the pop century all lit up with its colorful lights. We eventually had to avoid the security guard doing rounds and head back but it’s a great memory I have from that Disney trip.

It’s cool that they reused some of the abandoned buildings for the Art of Animation resort. How they turned an abandoned resort into a thriving and popular resort to stay at. Although I like AoA, I wish Legendary Years opened. I love Monopoly so it would be nice to see a giant Monopoly board since I’ve been to all the streets on the board in Atlantic City. It would’ve been interesting to see how they would do the 40s and 30s. How would they incorporate the Great Depression...into a hotel room

In the old photos, they kind of look like a smaller version of Prora, which, well, wouldn't be the absolute strangest resort concept Disney's ever gone with.
I watched this, then one of your earlier videos. You've made HUGE improvements in that time! You are still casual and friendly but give a ton of brilliant information and visuals. You've gained a subscriber. I'm glad you stuck with this concept and really made it work. Great job!
Pop Century is my favorite resort at Disney and I really enjoy the history of it. I love when you re-do some of your earlier videos that were a little less than perfect. You have grown and improved so much since the beginning. I am a big fan of your work and listen to it often. I know you can not re-do all your earlier videos however I hope there will be others ones like this one and Discovery Island(my favorite).
I've been a fan since the first Abandoned and it's crazy to see you're already at Ep 45! Your original videos were NEVER bad but you've definitely improved your skills over time. Stoked for another 45 epic vids.

It was one of the best resorts we've ever stayed at and created the best memories of any Disney trip we've ever done. I have to strongly disagree that the rooms are tacky. They are so well thought out and there is no detail missed, to a true Disnerd this is what we live for in a Disney Vacation.

A 1920s themed resort sounds fire. Art deco everywhere, swing music playing throughout the resort, old cars placed throughout, and food offerings that served food that was popular at the time. Sounds great.

I remember staying at the Pop Century in spring of 2004 as a kid. I think we were in the 70s building. The decor is extremely tacky and gaudy, but for a kid it was quite the experience. There was the big wheel of course and the bowling pin and rubik's cube. I remember waking up early every day and seeing the workers hosing off the concrete and how fresh everything seemed. It's crazy to think that we stayed there only a few months after they opened it. I also remember looking across the pond and being confused as what they were supposed to be. My parents explained that they were the other buildings to complete the other decades for the resort. It's interesting that they revived partially complete buildings and went in a different direction.

You're just getting better and better. Well done. FYI, in Phoenix Arizona, right through I10 and the heart of downtown, under the tunnel is AN ABANDONED mall structure and bus terminal that was never finished due to budget cuts. The main structure is there with even the entrance tunnels along the main tunnel blocked off. Everybody drives by it every single day but hardly know what's under their car. Check that out. It's really badass. Plus the underground bowling alley and old bars still...underground in Phoenix...
Stayed in the all star with the giant foosball outside our door. awesome experience. Still have my green goofy cup from that time in 2012!

That's not such a bad idea. They'd probably need to be totally renovated and made suitable again. But definitely possible. It wouldn't be free for staff, but it could be greatly reduced prices for staff. It's not making ANY money atm so even $20 a night would be great for both sides. Kind of like a a cruise ship where the crew live onboard in the lower decks. This hotel would be far more spacious of course.

It's amazing the speed that Disney pulls off major building projects. The government can not even begin to struggle at the thought of an infrastructure bill, and lots of projects get held up in years of hell and overruns like the Big Dig and the leaning San Francisco tower and that California rail project that ate its funding and cancelled everything, then you look at Disney with its top down control of construction, able to change plans on a whim.

Well, the employees who work for these theme parks don't get paid much. They have to drive long distances (at the cost of gas, toll, and parking). Now if these people had the option for a place nearby to stay especially so close to work they wouldn't have to have these problems. This was particularly an issue a decade ago when the city of Anaheim, California was going to construct cheap affordable apartments near Disneyland which was geared for the workers in Disneyland... but guess who stopped that? Disney corporation. They successfully lobbied for the city to stop its construction because they were afraid it would sully the image of "The Happiest Place on Earth" and continue to screw over its workers.
